An abundance of colour and fresh fragrance hits your senses the moment you enter Cellar & Pantry, followed by some of the friendliest greetings on the Mornington Peninsula.
Since 2003, Cellar & Pantry has been the grocery shop, café, and community hub for the residents to gather and shop. Proudly showcasing more than 800 handpicked Mornington Peninsula products on site, Cellar & Pantry is so much more. “It’s a place that brings people together, a community from the surrounding area of Red Hill and beyond,” said owner Dee.
Residents have their daily coffee to start up the day and some also finish their day enjoying a glass of wine on the deck. Customers can purchase a bottle from the cellar and enjoy it on the deck for a small corkage fee.
The husband and wife team of Joe and Dee both grew up in families where the creation and enjoyment of food was everything. Added to that is their love for travel, especially throughout Europe, and their drive to replicate those experiences back home. “It’s about sharing our experiences with food with our customers,” Dee said. Customers seek advice and recipes from the team, who gladly share their knowledge and passion for the produce.
As the name suggests, the offering extends to a range of products from more than 100 Peninsula wineries, breweries and distilleries, and some European favourites. Joe’s background studying winemaking and working at Chrismont Winery in the King Valley, and his enthusiasm for providing the best variety and selection, results in customers often asking for his recommendations.
The Deck Café, also known as the Locals’ Deck, offers a relaxed atmosphere where delicious food is made from Peninsula produce and can be enjoyed with your favourite drop.
Cellar & Pantry is the place to treat your tastebuds to some of the Peninsula’s finest produce, and it’s open seven days a week.
Opening hours: Monday-Saturday 8am-7pm; Sunday 9.30am-7pm
