THE SOMERS GENERAL

Welcome to the Western Port side of life, where secluded enclaves of she-oaks and banksias sway and wide open beaches with rocky ridges rage against the waves rolling in to shore. Here the relaxed rustic lifestyle governs, its limitless outdoor diversions a backdrop to the ever-evolving collection of creative wining and dining options. These authentically Mornington Peninsula hamlets swing to the beat of eclectic destination and boutique shopping, awardwinning artisan produce and café life that can only be described as delectable. Find cuisines from around the world complemented by the area’s best wineries. This is old coolstore country. Proudly packed apples once left the heart of the hinterland in the 1920s and travelled through Balnarring and Bittern to arrive at Melbourne markets. These days each village in the region has its own unique offering, from brilliant butchers, bakers and artistry makers to international

dining degustation dripping with individual flavours. Wind through this age-old district to drop into one of the many wonderful wineries and eateries. You will never be disappointed. Which will it be – Italian, French, Japanese or heritage-inspired deliciousness? Somers, Balnarring, Bittern, Hastings and Tyabb attract sea and tree-changers and those who are searching for endless summers spent surfing, swimming and roaming – but they are much more than this. They are home to artisans who strive to achieve excellence, from presenting home-grown produce perfectly on the plate to hospitality that is generous and gregarious any time of the year. Explore this eclectic region from beachside Somers to the mangroves of Hastings and the wonders of Tyabb Village. Eat.Drink it all in.
