Mornington Peninsula Plunge Wine Tours

My husband and I spent two days touring the Mornington Peninsula with Arthur of Plunge Tours; we highly recommend him.  He is communicative, well organized, has a ton of connections across a variety of sites and is very knowledgeable and engaging.  His vehicle is roomy and in excellent condition. From my initial outreach, Arthur was very responsive and communicative.  He was extremely focused on ensuring that our days delivered experiences that were tailored to our interests. Our first day was primarily spent visiting wineries.  We started the day with delicious locally grown strawberries and a picnic on the water where we had the breathtaking locale to ourselves. We then moved on to wine tasting.  All the wineries Arthur selected for our visits had top notch wines and engaging hosts, and one of the stops included an extremely informative (and visually stunning) vineyard tour with the winery owner.  Throughout the day Arthur shared his wealth of knowledge about the area and making wine.  He also entertained us with some wonderful anecdotes.  Our tour also included lunch at Sumer House which had delicious food and lovely view of the bay. Our second day was focused on area exploration based on our interests.  Arthur did a terrific job of providing a variety options for us to choose from.  We had a tour of Pt Leo Estate sculpture garden, a visit to a glassblowing studio/artist collective, lunch at another sculpture garden with very tasty plates, a leisurely wander through the beautiful grounds and gardens of Cruden Farm, and final winery stop that we couldn't fit in yesterday. It's clear that Arthur had done his homework on each place he brought us and he has developed deep relationships with proprietors.  His guests definitely benefit from his expertise and network. We had a fantastic time each day. Both tours surpassed our expectations.

Wine Plunge was an absolute delight! Arthur was a fantastic tour guide with lots of wine knowledge, silly stories, and was generally just a great time. He catered the tour specifically to our tastes, making sure we got to try everything we wanted while we were down in Mornington Peninsula. We got to meet lots of lovely people, see a gorgeous art studio, try some delicious wineries, and have a blast being with Arthur. Truly couldn’t recommend more - especially as someone learning the area :)

Fabulous winery tour! My best friend & I spent the most incredible day with Arthur as our host here on the Mornington Peninsula. We went to some amazing wineries that we would definitely not have found on our own, the lunch was delicious and Arthur’s knowledge of both the locale and its wine made the day fun, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable! Highly recommend!!

We thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this journey of Mornington Peninsula’s rising star wine industry with its charming and entertaining guide, Sir Arthur! Applying his deep knowledge of the craft blended with his family heritage, local relationships, and skilled storytelling, he makes wine touring a magical experience not to be missed and to be long remembered.
