Ten Minutes by Tractor is a Main Ridge winery and restaurant on Mornington-Flinders Road. The name refers to its vineyards, which sit a short tractor ride apart. It is well known for its pinot noir and chardonnay and for its fine-dining restaurant, which draws visitors from across Melbourne.
Diners often book us for the trip up and back so the whole party can enjoy a degustation and wine pairings without a designated driver. Main Ridge is high in the peninsula’s hinterland, and the roads home are winding and dark at night, so a taxi is the comfortable choice. We also carry guests from Sorrento, Mornington and Frankston for special occasions. It is also a popular choice for anniversaries and engagement dinners, and couples often ask us to collect them from accommodation in Sorrento, Red Hill or Flinders so the evening runs smoothly.
For passengers using wheelchairs, the accessible van carries one wheelchair and four seated passengers, and the Maxi WAT takes two wheelchairs and six seated. Drivers help from door to door. Weekend lunches and dinners book out, so reserve your taxi when you make your restaurant booking.
