7.Mornington Peninsula Winery Bus Tour with Lunch & Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 15 reviews · 7 hours · from $138

Your English-speaking guide handles the driving, tastings, lunch, and photo stops, with past guides including Bill, Adrian, and Norm. Expect a flexible winery mix, a glass of wine with lunch, and wide peninsula views.

“Bill was a great driver, but it would be a nice idea for some commentary along the way, especially for those of us not from Victoria. The van was a bit tired, and felt like it had seen better days The tour seemed a bit disconnected, and with the exception of one stop, the other stops put little to no effort into telling us about their wines, I would have thought that they would want to "sell us up" so that we were leaving with some bottles under our arms, rather than making us feel like an inconvenience. This is no fault of the tour operator but the winery themselves.”
