The Main Ridge/Red
Hill Winery Tour
|
 Due to popular
request, Schöffered Tours are proud to present
our Main Ridge/Red Hill Winery Tour on the Mornington Peninsula. We
zip down a freeway or two in less than an hour from Melbourne's
"big smoke" to the idyllic Mornington Peninsula, where many
Melbournites have spent Christmas/New Years and Easter breaks.
The peninsula's salty sea breezes lend themselves to creating a
unique ecosystem, where only a few hardy varieties of grapes can
prosper. This area is home to the Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio wine
styles, made from the same variety of grape, but in either the
French or Italian wine-making style. Both are superb, in their own
way. Which is our favourite? Haven't decided yet. We'll let you be
the judges.
There are stylish Chardonnay's, that are light and cleansing to the
palate. The cold weather gives them a uniquely subtle flavour, that
differentiates them from the other regions of Australia.
But don't think that this region is a white wine only climate!
There are some seriously terrific Pinot Noir's to be quaffed at
your leisure. And there are Shiraz's, Rosso's (a blend of Shiraz,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Nebbiolo), and even a Sangiovese, which are
sourced from other regions, and made into superb sips by the local
vignerons.
We don't want you to take our word for it "sight unseen" (or should
we say "taste untried")! We await your bookings with anticipation,
and a first class "welcome" to our latest "wine-tasting
extravaganza".

Our
tours typically take in up to five wineries, one of which is
usually the lunch venue. Whether we get to all five wineries is
dependent on how the day pans out. We prefer to ensure that our
clients obtain maximum enjoyment of the day, by not rushing from
one winery to another, just to fit them all in. Should our clients
be enjoying themselves at a particular location, we leave them the
option to move on or not.
Prices include lunch, tasting fees, and scheduled stops. Extras
such as morning or afternoon teas, a visit to a hand-made chocolate
maker, or other options that you may require, can be arranged at
negotiated prices.
Please note that scheduling these into the day, will limit the
number of wineries to be taken in. Some things can be fitted into
the existing schedule, but we are then obliged to structure it more
to the time constraints. We are happy for the client to choose, and
be happy with their choice. |
