Take a leisurely drive down our quiet country roads and the Hinterland’s love affair with fresh produce, wine and bountiful food on the table becomes apparent.

Over the years, high profile chefs have discovered the joys of living and cooking in the Hinterland through the Region’s restaurants, cellar door restaurants and cafes using the finest of local ingredients. There’s even an award-winning microbrewery offering tastings and dining to match any flavour on tap.

At the many wineries and cellar doors, you can sample the Region’s hallmark Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, along with excellent Pinot Gris, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz.   Explore the delights of the rolling hills, and notice the deep red soils and frost free climate which are perfect for growing fruits of all kind.  Relax by an open fire with a glass of fine Mornington Peninsula wine and we know you will be back!
