Here’s the secret: there’s an enchanted place where beauty and quality of produce reside, cellar doors creak and speak and breweries bubble. Take a ride from Port Phillip through the undulating hills of the Mornington Peninsula’s hinterland to Western Port and you’ll find a world where attention to detail and deliverance mean everything and then some. Joie de vivre is bottled and brought to you in the shape of exceptional dining experiences against the backdrop of artistic expression to create an extra-special place we call Eat.Drink delicious.
This is a region where the world stands still as the trees bend and gather and the orchards bear the fruit of generations and new-found footings. Artisanal produce is grown in the rich soil and crafted, prepared and offered with artistic sensibilities to world-weary travellers who have finally found the place to rest in the best accommodation available. And the wine and cider flows. And the sustainable seasonal produce grows.
With a focus on brilliant high-end feasting from Point Leo to Shoreham, Main Ridge to Merricks and Red Hill to Arthurs Seat, journey along the winding road from eatery to winery to farm and indulge in the knowledge that great things come to those who are patient. This is grape-growing, cider-crafting and Chef Hat territory, where tasting menus matter and each course comes with its own tastebud expedition. Seasons dictate and the splendour of home-grown delights offered to you on a plate say welcome to the adventure.
