A Chef–Led Journey through the Mornington Peninsula

Embrace the day with an exceptionally scenic coastal drive south of Melbourne and prepare to be constantly inspired and delighted by this diverse, boot-shaped region.

The Gothic style Heronswood Estate is a living catalogue of evergreen fruits and vegetables and was established in 1864. Much of the delicious food grown in the garden is served in the slow food café, where you’ll be treated to a delectable morning tea after a fascinating and informative stroll through acres of stunning gardens.

Marvel at the panoramic views of the city, bay and peninsula from Arthurs Seat lookout before embarking on the next part of your journey.

Meet our highly regarded local chef for a private, culinary journey through the peninsula. Your journey changes seasonally (and almost daily) but you may: meet cheese makers to discuss processes and techniques, press olives and learn about olive oil production, pick berries, visit Harry’s mussel farm, experience a working bakery, discover the joys of juicy hydroponic tomatoes, select premium quality quinces, learn about chocolate making, get involved in a spice blending class.

It’s now back to the kitchen with your produce for a PRIVATE, hands on cooking class and gourmet feast, washed down of course with local cool climate wines.
