Main Ridge Estate is one of the pioneering vineyards of the Mornington Peninsula, planted in the 1970s in the cool, elevated country around Main Ridge and Red Hill. It is known for its pinot noir and chardonnay and has a small cellar door where visitors can taste the wines.
Wine lovers come here to taste at the source, often combining a visit with lunch at a nearby restaurant. A taxi means nobody has to drive the narrow, winding roads around Main Ridge after tasting. We can bring you from anywhere on the peninsula and collect you at the end of the visit. Because the cellar door is small and focused on tasting, many visitors build a short tour around it, adding lunch at a nearby restaurant or a stop at another Main Ridge winery. We can collect you from accommodation in Red Hill, Sorrento or Rosebud and book each leg at once.
For passengers using wheelchairs, the accessible van and Maxi WAT have four-point restraints and lap-sash seatbelts. Drivers help you from the car to the cellar door and back. Bookings are recommended, especially for weekend trips into the hinterland.
