This is where the wineries and breweries meet with incredible dining opportunities for food and fresh produce fanatics. This is where the cellar doors are laden with cool-climate wines and wonderful distilled spirits and the provedores are thrilled to offer you sweet and savoury selections beyond your wildest dreams. The hinterland region of the Peninsula is known for its mysterious rambling beauty and exceptional fare. Beneath the far-reaching gums and pines there is abundance for all to share as the long winding roads take you from artisan eateries to high-end feasting restaurants, breweries and cheeseries. Travel through this enchanted place to indulge in world-class dining that is unsurpassed, for this is Chef Hat territory, where the tasting menus matter and each course comes with its own tastebud expedition. Situated between Western Port and Port Phillip, Arthurs Seat, Main Ridge, Merricks, Point Leo, Red Hill and Shoreham are must-visit places when heading down south. Take in the view, catch a wave or walk one of the Peninsula’s many tracks while dreaming of dining alfresco or within any one of the magnificent wineries in the region. The hinterland’s orchards bear the fruit of generations past, while the farms are worked with tender loving care to make sure the rich soil can bear its optimum yield. Excellent accommodation abounds for out-of-towners who demand the best while wandering the roads least travelled. This is grape-growing, strawberry-picking and truffle-farming terrain and there’s no need to refrain from indulging. So don’t. You have arrived.
