We start our day around 9:30am and travel through to the northern end of the Mornington Peninsula to the first vineyard of the day, Yabby Lake. Established in 1998 the vineyard produces consistently good wines from both estate and regional grown grapes. These include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Shiraz.
A short drive away is the Crittenden Estate Vineyard at Dromana. One of the first commercial vineyards on the Peninsula, their origins go back to 1984 so some of the oldest vines are producing exceptional quality fruit. After the tasting, continue through to the quirky Quealy Vineyard at Balnarring. With a focus on Italian inspired wines, their approach is a little left of centre and will leave an impression. A lovely cheese platter would enhance the visit.
Close by is the Merricks General Store where a relaxed a la carte lunch in rustic surroundings can be enjoyed.
After lunch, it's a short stroll across to Stonier, one of the oldest established vineyards on the Peninsula before concluding the day at the Ten Minutes by Tractor Vineyard at Main Ridge.
