Michael Aylward (1997) Michael Aylward, of Ocean Eight Vineyard & Winery on the Mornington Peninsula, business has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, as has all aspects of the hospitality industry.
This partnership is how they celebrated the re-opening of the Cellar Door on Queen’s Birthday. Through the things that bring us all together: great food and great wines.
As Michael’s wines are made for food, he’s a big believer in the hospitality industry working together. This is why Ocean Eight partnered with the team from Tonka and Coda, to bring their delicious take-home meals to the Mornington Peninsula.
Michael plans to run the partnership again when this current lockdown ends and they can re-open.
