The experience

Pt Leo Estate Sculpture Park is the anchor of the morning: you walk among large-scale contemporary artworks set against rolling vineyards and ocean views, moving at your own pace through the outdoor gallery. The sculptures are the reason to be there, and the backdrop (Western Port Bay visible across the landscape) is what makes the walk different from any other art stop on the Peninsula.

Wine tasting happens before lunch, introducing you to the region's distinctive approach to winemaking. Merrick's General Wine Store, housed in a historic venue, is where you sit down to eat. The menu draws from local, seasonal ingredients and pairs with regional wines. A glass comes with your meal. The guide, who is qualified in food and wine, can work with any dietary needs or preferences you mention when you book. Just let them know ahead of time.

The return journey takes in Arthur's Seat Lookout, the highest point on the Peninsula, where Port Phillip Bay, the Melbourne skyline, and the coastal road toward Sorrento spread out below. It's a natural photo stop before heading back to your city hotel. The whole day runs about seven hours.
