Experiences bring people more happiness than possessions and spending money on experiences is more likely to bring lasting happiness than spending money on material goods. People don't get sick of memories. On the contrary, as time goes by, they make people happier. A day galivanting around the Mornington Peninsula laughing and tasting wines brings joyous memories long after that new bracelet is lost at the back of your jewellery box.
A Plunge Wine Tour goes beyond a cellar door crawl as owner, Arthur fills your day with stories and laughter. Wine tastings become a one-on-one experience with the winemaker, a farmgate visit becomes a behind-the-scenes education and lunch becomes an inspired regional feast enjoyed with local wines.
At Jackalope, Arthur visits his winemaker wife, Geraldine McFaul in her barrel room to taste wines of substance. Up the road, Moorooduc Estate unleash fragrant, wild yeast fermented wines while around the corner the Quealy Winery pour organic wines bursting with flavour and personality.
Your day starts beside the lapping shores of Western Port Bay where on a picnic table you share a local sparkling, regional cheese and other treats. Here on Pt Leo Beach, you can hitch-up your skirt or roll-up your trousers and sip a crisp Blanc de Blanc while splashing about in the shallows. A chance sighting of dolphins may push a private Pinot Noir tasting into second place for the tour’s most memorable experience.
Arthur's focus is getting you to the heart and soul of the region, meeting artisans, dropping by private cellars and picking up a cache of the best local wines.
The tour provides far greater insight to the land, the produce and the people. Just shed your working-day persona and become a curious traveller again- enjoying a full range of emotions and experiences. A day out like this will ultimately make you brighter and happier, so why spend your hard-earned money on anything else?
