Tips from our drivers for Stonier Wines
- Pt. Leo Estate and Merricks Estate are nearby for a longer day.
- Check the cellar door’s current opening days before you travel.
- Book returns ahead, as Merricks is a rural area.
Stonier is one of the established names of the Mornington Peninsula wine region, based at Merricks in the gentler country towards Western Port. It is known for chardonnay and pinot noir, and its cellar door gives visitors a chance to taste across the range.
Wine lovers book us to visit Stonier as part of a Merricks and Red Hill tour, often combining it with Pt. Leo Estate for lunch. The Merricks area is rural and spread out, so a taxi saves your group from choosing a sober driver and finding the way between wineries. Wine clubs and work groups sometimes plan a tasting at Stonier as part of a day out on the eastern side of the peninsula. If your group is coming from the city, we can collect you from home or a hotel and arrange the trip back, so nobody needs to drive after a day of tastings.
For passengers using wheelchairs, the accessible van carries one chair and four seated passengers, while the Maxi WAT carries two chairs and six seated. Drivers help from your door to the cellar door, and carers travel along. NDIS and aged-care accounts are accepted.

Questions about taxis to Stonier Wines
Is Stonier close to Pt. Leo Estate?
Yes. Both are in Merricks, a short drive apart, and many people visit them on the same day. Tell us the order you want to visit, along with any lunch booking, and we will arrange each leg so you are collected on time.
Do I need to check Stonier’s opening hours before booking?
Yes, please check directly with the winery, as cellar door hours can change and we do not keep track of them. Once you know when it is open, book your drop-off and return with us to fit. A set return time works best in rural Merricks.
Where will you drop me off at Stonier Wines?
Drop-off and pick-up are at the cellar door entrance. Tell us if you will finish somewhere other than the tasting room.
Can you wait or pick me up after my appointment at Stonier Wines?
Yes. Book a return trip with an approximate time, then call or text us when you are ready. Appointments often run late, so we keep return pick-ups flexible.
Is there step-free access at Stonier Wines?
We drop you at the cellar door near the end of the drive.
Can I travel in my power wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most manual and power wheelchairs fit, and you stay seated in your chair. Tell us the make, width and weight when you book so we send the right vehicle. Mobility scooters can travel when they can be safely restrained — please check with us first.
Can a carer or family member come too?
Yes. Carers, family and assistance animals are welcome. Include everyone in the passenger count so we send a vehicle with enough seats.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver by card or cash, use your Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) card, or choose "Account / invoice" for NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and businesses.
