Perry, the food and Pt Leo winery made it a winner!!
From the beginning Perry was a great guide. He met, engaged and talked with each person. We had a coffee to go (included). Left on time and had a wonderful time. The Olive Tree winery/ lunch was great. The weather was very kind to us. The 3rd winery (Pt Leo) had fantastic wine and marvellous views and Pat who responded to the group and was very informative. Perry made everyone feel very welcome and made the day a treat for all. Thanks heaps

For serious wine lovers
I would recommend this tour to any serious wine lover - the experience felt like a personal full-day wine tour, not a group tour. The four wineries/cellar doors that we visited were architecturally stunning, friendly, and most importantly, had amazing wine that typified the region. The tour felt bespoke, curated, and well thought out, as opposed to other wine tours that seem to pick the cheapest. The bus was clean, comfortable and well-sized. The views throughout the day were spectacular. The included lunch was even more spectacular (if Jenny recommends the lamb, get the lamb.) But the most impressive part was our guide Jenny. She was kind, warm, and friendly, and took the effort to get to know everyone on the tour so they felt welcomed and comfortable. She made the experience all the worthwhile. If you want to learn about the best wine the Mornington Peninsula makes, this is the tour for you.

Excellent tour, Wines and Wineries.
Exceptional wine tastings and lunch. All the wineries were excellent. Wines and sommeliers were excellent with variety of wine grape and history. Our guide was friendly, polite and at times gave us a little history of Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. This a tour worth taking.

A Fantastic Tour with Elegant Wines
Overall, it was a fantastic tour. Although the itinerary changed from Ten Minutes by Tractor to Port Phillip Estate, every winery we visited was wonderful and offered many elegant wines. The final stop, Pt. Leo Estate, was a spectacular place to enjoy both art and wine. The weather wasn't the best, but we got to see a rainbow. It would have been difficult to arrange the schedule, transportation, and visits all on my own, so I am very glad I joined this tour. Having Wi-Fi available in the car was incredibly convenient, and our guide, Jordan, was extremely kind and helpful.
Response from the operator: We're delighted to hear you had a fantastic day exploring the Mornington Peninsula with us! Topped with a beautiful rainbow - how special! We have recently had to make a few small changes to our itinerary, we are sorry you were not aware, although it is fantastic to know you still loved each of the wineries! We also love our stop at the beautiful Pt. Leo Estate with its unique combination of sculpture art and stunning views. Jordan will be so happy to hear your kind words. We'll be sure to pass on your compliments about his friendly and helpful service. We aim to have you relax and enjoy the experience. We're pleased the onboard Wi-Fi came in handy too. Thank you again for choosing Local Way Tours. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Nice day trip if you want to drink & not drive
Had a good day out. Vineyards were pleasant & nice not to drive. Good small group & lovely driver. Overall a little overpriced & some poor communication initially as tour was one hour late leaving -the organisers had made a mistake with the bus & scrambled a tour at the last moment. No compensation for the mix up.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re really glad to hear you had a good day out, enjoyed the vineyards, and appreciated the small group and your driver. We’re very sorry again for the delayed departure and the confusion at the start of the day. That was our mistake, and while we’re pleased the team was able to get the tour running, we understand that it wasn’t the smooth start you should expect from us. We really appreciate your feedback around communication and value, and we’ll be using this to improve how we manage and communicate any issues if they arise. Thanks again for joining us, and we’re sorry for the frustration caused at the beginning of the day.

Mornington Peninsula Small Group Winery Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Mornington Peninsula Small Group Winery Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $146 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 Winery Tour 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 Winery Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 42 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 Winery Tour 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 Winery Tour 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 Winery Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 15 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 Winery Tour 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.
