LISTED AS ONE OF THE TOP
MUST DO DESTINATIONS TO VISIT
WORLDWIDE BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
TRAVELLER MAGAZINE IN 2015
The Mornington Peninsula: one of the
world’s top 20 MUST VISIT DESTINATIONS
Show us your checklist and we’ll start ticking the boxes. First, our region – the Mornington Peninsula
was the only Australian destination included in the world’s top 20 must visit destinations by National
Geographic Traveller Magazine in 2015. So you can promise your delegates a memorable and unique
location – and we’ll deliver it.
Getting here
It’s quick and easy. We’re just 90 minutes from Melbourne
Airport and 60 minutes from the Melbourne’s CBD, with
highways reaching right to the Peninsula’s heart. Getting
around is a breeze, with local transport options from 45-seater
coaches to chauffeur driven limousines and small exclusive
tours. You can drive the Peninsula from top to toe in about
30 minutes, and right across it in as little as 10 minutes.
Flexible venues
We can match our venues to just about any small to mediumsized business event. A board meeting hidden away in an
exclusive country retreat. An exhibition or trade show. A
conference for up to 1000 delegates. Choose a coastal venue
in a seaside village, where delegates can take a refreshing stroll
along the beach, paddle board, kayak or have a dip. Or retreat
to the hinterland, where luxury country hotels such as Lindenderry
at Red Hill or Woodman Estate offer private settings assuring
you peace and privacy. No matter where you choose, you can
access state of the art conference equipment and technology.
Food and wine
We’re internationally known for the quality of our wine,
particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Top chefs have made a sea change to the Mornington
Peninsula, and we have five hatted restaurants for memorable
dining experiences. Our talented chefs have raised the bar for
food and wine, so you’re confident of high standards of food
and beverage right across the Peninsula.
Venues are incredibly flexible, offering everything from intimate
private rooms in hotels and restaurants to large function rooms
for cocktail parties, awards nights and dinners. There’s budget
flexibility too, with casual seaside restaurants, moderately priced
bistros and traditional pubs on the coast and in the hinterland.
There are more than 50 cellar doors here as well, so there’s
a huge choice in wine tastings for pre/post touring, partner
programs and incentives.
Adventure and leisure
With Port Phillip, Western Port and Bass Strait lapping our
shores, you can rightly expect remarkable aquatic adventures
such as seal and dolphin swims, sea kayaking, snorkel tours
and bay cruising. You get them. But the Mornington Peninsula
countryside adds a whole lot more. There’s something for
everyone; have a go at tree surfing, indulge in decadent hot
springs, try your hand at golf, or you can even go horseback
riding around our wineries.
We’ve got huge networks of walking tracks too, from beach
and clifftop strolls to longer walks through national parks.
You can hire bicycles and ride to the picturesque tip of the
Mornington Peninsula at Point Nepean, passing through some
of Victoria’s most intriguing military history.
Pre/post touring, partner programs and incentives can be
arranged for small exclusive groups too: think of privately
escorted gourmet tours along our Wine Food Farmgate trail,
golf at championship course, barrel tastings with winemakers,
private spa therapies and fine dining in a one or two-hatted
restaurant. Speak to the Business Events Mornington Peninsula
team to help create your custom made touring experience.
