Mornington Peninsula Wine Tour from Melbourne: Your Way

You pick which wineries to visit and when to leave each one.

A hop on hop off tour of Mornington Peninsula's wine regions departing from Melbourne, where you choose your stops from a timetable and decide how long to spend at each venue. The service runs for seven hours with room for up to four wineries. Bottled water and a coolbox come with the air-conditioned vehicle, and an audio guide app provides commentary throughout. Tastings are booked separately at each stop and may incur a fee.

The experience

The Mornington Peninsula sits an hour from Melbourne, and this hop on hop off service lets you build your own day instead of following a fixed itinerary. You board the air-conditioned vehicle and receive a timetable showing departure times from each winery on the Orange Route. Pick the venues that interest you, hop off to explore and taste, then catch the next scheduled bus when you're ready to move on. The audio guide app fills the drive with commentary, and bottled water plus a coolbox keep you comfortable between stops.

Because tastings happen at the wineries themselves, you'll book those directly with each venue: staff on the tour can recommend where to go if you're unsure. Some places charge for tastings regardless of group size, so check ahead. The route covers four stops maximum within the seven-hour window, which means you'll want to plan which venues matter most to you before the day starts. Groups stay under eight people, keeping the vehicle small and the pace relaxed.

What’s included

• Air-conditioned vehicle with up to four winery stops from the timetable you choose.

Top questions

Can I visit all the wineries on the Mornington Peninsula route in one day?

The timetable shows multiple wineries, but you can visit a maximum of four stops within the seven-hour tour window. Plan which venues you want to see and check the departure times so you don't miss the next bus.

Do I need to book tastings in advance, or can I just show up at the wineries?

Tastings are booked separately at each winery, not included with the tour. Staff can recommend venues, but you'll arrange tastings directly with each stop. Some charge a tasting fee regardless of whether you're part of a group or driving yourself.

What's included in the hop on hop off fare from Melbourne?

The tour includes transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, an audio guide app with commentary, bottled water and a coolbox for storage. Tastings, food and any venue entry fees are separate.

Is there a guide on the bus, or is it self-guided with the app?

A live guide in English is on board to provide commentary and recommendations. The audio guide app supplements the experience and helps you plan stops along the Orange Route.

How much time do I actually spend at each winery?

You decide. The timetable shows when buses depart from each stop, so you can spend 30 minutes or two hours at a venue. Just catch the next scheduled departure when you're ready to move on.
