Rahona Valley, known for its signature sparkling rosé, has a lot more to offer the curious epicurean. Having recently moved its tasting room and wine bar to the Dromana Industrial Estate, it now provides a range of enticing experiences to enjoy.
Sample the delectable selection of wines paired with handcrafted Peninsula-made Cuvée Chocolate, or bring the dog and come down for a Sunday session with live music, wine and cheese platters.
Rahona Valley excels in sparkling wines using the traditional method, as well as the pinot noir and chardonnay that the Mornington Peninsula is known for. In 2020 it founded the state-of-the-art Australian Cuvée Centre in Dromana, dedicated to crafting sparkling wines. This centre is used to develop Rahona Valley’s own sparkling wines as well as supporting other wineries. This expertise has enabled the production of some excellent Peninsula sparkling wines with more than 10 varieties to choose from. If you prefer your wine without the bubbles, Rahona Valley also offers a range of cool-climate red and white wines to enjoy.
While known for its sparkling wine, the must-have drink for summer is the Sorrento Moon Cuvée Spritz. This unique recipe is made using a sparkling wine blended with sweet Australian oranges and native ingredients, including Davidson’s plum, rosella flowers and Tasmanian pepperberry. It is ready to serve; just pour over ice with a slice of dried blood orange and enjoy. In keeping with the sustainable practices of Rahona Valley, you can return the elegant bottle to be reused and receive $1 off your next purchase.
