Relaxing and nature based day
We had an amazing day from pick up with free coffee to delicious winery lunch at Green Olive to relaxing afternoon at the springs. Highly recommend this tour, our guide Sheldon was friendly, informative and helpful all day. This is my second time on this tour and I enjoyed it just as much. 😀

Great day relaxing in the...
Great day relaxing in the hot spings. Although the weather was mixed, some sun some rain it didn't affect the activity. There are plenty of pools to explore. Towels robes and even swim wear are available to hure. If you take your own robes and towels, make sure your robe is a towelin one. Ours weren't so clung to us rather than keeping us warm between pools. If you are going as a couple using seperate male female changing, hire a locker each tk make life easier. You can take phones/camaras in to pay for food and take selfies, but make sure you dont capture images of others when taking photos.

A great tour and guide!
Russell was an incredible guide and we really enjoyed the trip to the winery and the hot springs! It was great way to spend the day and would recommend to others!

Teepee yours much better
To start with the driver Perry didn’t advised about the Barista coffee, we had to ask. Additionally there was no signage for us to know which bus was ours. The day seemed all go but in the same sentence no timing structure. Perry slept in the van whilst we attended wineries. Wineries were ok, very disappointed by ten minutes by tractor for their service and then we got to Port Leo and told nothing was covered, whilst we have no objection to paying additionally this stop should have been included or go somewhere else. Perry drove in a hurry, one hand on steering wheel whilst other arm on chair handle, pedal to the metal. Green olive farm winery and Crittedon winery were amazing.
Response from the operator: Hello, This review seems like a mistake as we do not visit Pt Leo, 10xTractor, or Crittedon on our Wine and Hot Springs tour. I am requesting this now be removed. Thanks Ray

Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $188 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 103 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch?
+
Around 36 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Cider & Chocolate tour, Melbourne: Epic Yarra Valley Wine Tour & Lunch - Gin/Beer Upgrade, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Mornington Peninsula Small Group Wine & Hot Springs with Lunch?
