The Mornington Peninsula is home to so many award-winning wineries, breweries, and distilleries, itâs hard to know where to start when choosing drinks for your next gathering or celebration. So much choice makes deciding on your favourite delicious drink the trickiest part. The choices only get harder when you add top-notch locally made non-alcoholic drinks to the list of options.
Residents of our vibrant coastal communities will tell you that meeting up with friends at their favourite establishment for a drink is a regular social highlight. From the cellar door to fine dining, to the pub or distillery, wherever you prefer, making the time to slow down and chat over a round of drinks is what life is about.
The excellent quality and original flavours are one thing, but more than ever supporting a local small business is the best part when raising your glass.
Hereâs cheers to the makers of fine beverages on the Peninsula.
Whether youâre popping a cork to celebrate, enjoying a new cocktail, or going alcohol-free, we guarantee whatever your tipple thereâs something for everyone and every occasion on the following pages.

Embark on a tasting journey guided by the friendly staff before settling in for a culinary experience. Our passionate chefs have created a modern Australian menu that showcases both estate-grown and seasonal local produce.
