A Foodies Journey

Embrace the day with a stunning coastal drive south of Melbourne and prepare to be inspired and delighted by the diverse, boot‐shaped region known as the Mornington Peninsula. Welcome to “Foodie Heaven”, where serious food lovers are in for a treat. Our hosts own 27 acres of charming farmland with red fertile soil that allows them to grow and produce premium quality olives, grapes, herbs and veggies. They also raise sheep, chickens and fish and turn amazing produce from local farmers into a range of delectable goodies.

You’ll get a whole new perspective on the concept of ‘Paddock to Plate’. Spend time in the kitchen with the chef; cooking is done in a wood fire oven, with wood collected from fallen timber on the property. Your day changes seasonally, though you may: try your hand at curing olives grown on the farm, create handmade sausages in natural skins using fresh herbs and spices from the garden, or make mouth-watering gnocchi. You might master the art of sourdough bread, learn ways to cook with olives and olive oil, or successfully roast and make great coffee.

Try some of the Best Mornington Peninsula Wines.

Later you’ll sit back, relax and enjoy the surroundings while eating and drinking some of the finest food and wine the Mornington Peninsula has to offer. After lunch, take a drive down the road to sample cool climate wines with one of our favourite winemakers, freshly made goats cheese from a local dairy or succulent strawberries and cherries from the fruit farms in the area.
