Wineries:
In the years since the first commercial plantings occurred in the late 1970's there has been a rapid expansion in viticulture & there are now over 100 vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula. Over 40 of them feature cellar door facilities.
Golf:
Many peninsula golf courses seem to share a common them - spectacular views to make that "good walk" great. There are lots of courses on the peninsula to choose from including some of Australia's best.
