Private Winery Tours on the Mornington Peninsula
The Mornington Peninsula wine region is one of Victoria's best known, with more than 50 cellar doors pouring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across the Red Hill, Merricks and Moorooduc subregions. The catch with any winery tour is simple: you can't drive and taste. Peninsula Mornington Cabs takes care of that with private winery tours and transport, built around the cellar doors you want to see. There is no shared group, no fixed itinerary and no stranger's schedule to follow. You choose the wineries, you set the pace, and we get you home safely at the end of the day. Our Peninsula wine tours suit solo visitors, couples and groups of up to 11 passengers in the Maxi Taxi.
Custom Wine Tours With Your Own Driver
Unlike commercial winery tour buses, our service is entirely private, so your group has the vehicle to itself for the whole day. You can spend two hours at Montalto without a guide hurrying you to the next stop, or add a long lunch at Pt. Leo Estate on a whim. For a full day we suggest three to four wineries. Your driver can put an itinerary together for you or follow the one you have planned, which makes it a custom wine tour with your own driver rather than a set route. Popular stops include Ten Minutes by Tractor, Main Ridge Estate, Merricks General Wine Store, Foxeys Hangout and Moorooduc Estate. We also run half day tours for guests staying in Peninsula accommodation who want a relaxed afternoon in wine country. Most full day tours run around six to eight hours from pickup to drop-off, covering three to four wineries with time to relax at each, though the day is shaped around you rather than a fixed schedule. Because the vehicle and driver are booked for your tour, waiting time at each winery is included, with no separate waiting fee or running meter while you are inside a cellar door.
