Our Cellar Door is open the first weekend of every month and by appointment. Please check google listing for open days/ hours. Rahona Valley is boutique vineyard located in hidden valley in Red Hill South. Travel along a road less travelled to the the 25 year old vineyard in a protected valley in Red Hill South, where vines are grown on fertile, rich red basalt soil producing some of the best wines on the Mornington Peninsula. Come say hello to Toby and Dianne at this small, boutique vineyard with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We don’t aim to make everything. We don’t aim to be everywhere. We don't aim to be open everyday. But from the wine to the experience and everything in between, we do aim to be seriously good.

It’s the holy grail of wine tastings, off the beaten track, unassuming, amazing location and facilities. The wines, the wines, best bubbles on the Peninsula, serious table wines. Did I say gorgeous setting? Amazing experience, go there! Period.

We found this winery as we were driving past, we were the only ones there. The staff were super friendly, happy for us to do a tasting $10 a head, not pushy and didn’t hover. Told us about the property and poured first 2 wines then let us enjoy them and then he came back with the next two reds. Gardens are also amazing. Just be mindful of the weather as the road in is a small dirt road and could be tricky when raining

Hidden down a driveway off of the White Hill Road, Red Hill is a gem of a gallery. We went to find some ceramic of glass art for a very sunny position in our house that fades everything we put there. Marion was delightful to chat to and she makes great coffee too. There is a great selection of beautifully crafted and completely original tiles with other objects from around the world. It is well worth a visit as the gallery is in a quiet and lovely bush land setting and there are some lovely items on show. We bought a selection of 57mm square tiles for a piece of wall art for our entrance.

Found this while looking for somewhere to have dinner on NYE (on TripAdviser - a wide search). Decided to drop in on the way to Sorrento - not such a detour (from Mount Martha) when you consider the traffic on the coast road. Very friendly people and the food we had (ham+cheese sanger and an apple donut) were yummy. Will definitely have to go back to try the ploughman's lunch. The ciders were a mixed bag - as I'm new to cider it might not be a fair review. The first (Classic?) was definitely the most interesting (cool smell and cool taste on first try, but a wonderful sweetish, tangy aftertaste that lasted and lasted). The next one was a little sweeter and more forward, with no so much of an aftertaste. The pear/apple was terribly dangerous, not super complex, but not too sweet and something that could just be drunk continually... And the sweet one, well it was nice, but too sweet for my tastes. The sparkling apple was OK - but I'd probably want it in litre bottles to take-away. And the vinegar was superb! quite astringent, but with lots of apple flavour. Almost too acidic to drink straight but we loved it. Bought some of the special (Dry?) which may have gone by now and the classic, plus a bottle of vinegar and some cherries. Only about 10 minutes from home, so will keep an eye on the website for new and interesting releases...and the vinegar.

Fenian Wines is a small winery tucked away in a beautiful part of the Mornington Peninsula. It is a calming spot, and the wines inside are well made and subtle. The Chardonnay is particularly distinctive and the Pinots are good examples of the region. It is worth planning to stop by when they are open.

Wine tasting experience was amazing. The young gentleman and lady facilitating the tasting was very nice, good knowledge of the wines and made the whole experience worthwhile. Would definitely recommend anyone visiting Red Hill to visit the estate for the Pinot Grigio and the amazing view.

Not much natural rainforest remains on the Mornington Peninsula. The Endeavour Fern Gully has 17.5 ha (43 acres) of rainforest, out of a total area of 27 ha (67 acres). Volunteers are asisting in revegetating more of the Gully. Visitors are requested to follow the paths. A meandering creek runs through the Gully. Native fauna can also be seen The Gully is on the land of the Bun Warrung people. Evidence of the indigenous people's habitation can be found. This old growth forest has holes and hollows that provide habitats for native birds and animals. The car park is adequate for most purposes. By the way, entrance is gratis.

Had a great Sunday afternoon picnic here by the dam. Food was fantastic as was the wine and the location. Loved just sitting back in the deck chairs and looking back up the hill at the vines,
