Mornington Peninsula is uniquely situated with 3 breezes delivered via Port Phillip Bay, Westernport and Bass Strait. The effect creates ideal conditions for the region's pinots - wines with outstanding flavors, balanced natural acidity and fine tannins. Twenty one Mornington Peninsula Pinot producers will be down by the sea at the annual Labour Day weekend showcase. Taste a range of Pinots along with local food and music. A wonderful range of wines will be available to taste - or buy a glass to enjoy along with a seaside lunch to remember. Also don’t miss the annual Piers & Pinots Yacht Race which will be held on the day. This year tickets can be purchased online and those intending to come are encouraged to book prior to the event as numbers have been steadily increasing each year and numbers will be limited to a comfortable size.
