Become a beer aficionado
Toiling away in the peninsula's winery backdrops is a growing crop of artisanal brewers, taking advantage of the same advantageous growing conditions as vintners and farmers to create their bespoke beers.

Mornington Peninsula Brewery and Red Hill Brewery are leading the charge, with Hickinbotham of Dromana winery also serving up a house brew in the restaurant. Matched with no-nonsense food like woodfired pizzas, regularly changing specialty taps and refreshing ales can offer welcome respite from the world of wine.
