Wineries
Here are a few suggestions to kickstart your winery adventures, along with a few tour providers who can take all the work off your hands.
Pier 10
You may know Pier 10 as a vineyard and restaurant, but the Baker family know it as home. In its second generation, what was once a hobby is now one of the Peninsula’s best restaurants and cellar doors. The Bakers love welcoming friends, families and new faces to share and indulge in their passion.

Montalto’s home estate of 30 acres under vine is the heartland for their premium wines, and the expansive kitchen gardens and orchards supply our kitchens in The Restaurant and The Piazza. Montalto prides itself on creating wines of exemplary quality and character in a style that reflects each vineyard site. Perfect to drink now, or to cellar, Montalto wines are to savour.

Pt Leo Estate
Pt. Leo Estate is a visual feast for all who visit with art, rolling vineyards and ocean views commanding the horizon as far as the eye can see. With encapsulating glimpses of Phillip Island across the 50-acre vineyard, landscapes of grazing cattle and an expansive 16-acre Sculpture Park with the vast Western Port - comprising a Cellar Door & Wine Terrace at one end and 'Laura', their fine dining restaurant to the other, the Pt. Leo Restaurant experience sits at the heart of this world-class venue.
