Mornington Peninsula Plunge Wine Tours

Since 2017, Plunge Mornington Peninsula wine tours have taken guests beyond the cellar door for adventures with a local wine authority. You will meet winemakers, visit boutique wineries and hear stories about vintage past. Your host, Arthur O’Bryan has worked in the region’s wine industry for over twenty-five years and has access to local winemakers and private cellars where you join in tastings and discover the best flavours of this stunning region.

Tour highlights include a fresh punnet of flavour-filled strawberries to calibrate your palate for the Pinot Noirs ahead.

A morning feast of premium sparkling wine and local delicacies including cheeses and olives enjoyed in a private location overlooking Western Port Bay- the vineyard’s air conditioning unit.

Behind-the-scenes, one-on-one tastings with celebrated winemakers introduced to you by Arthur, a Mornington Peninsula veteran of almost thirty vintages.

Lunch is at one of the region’s most popular casual restaurants including The Merricks General Wine Store for two-courses and a glass of wine.

Plunge Wine Tours collect and return you to your preferred location in a luxurious Mercedes-Benz Viano. Once on board, you can enjoy a colourful commentary and stunning coastal scenery.
