Overview

Treat your senses to a stunning blend of artisan food, outdoor contemporary art, world-class cool-climate wine, and crisp ocean air. The Mornington Peninsula is Melbourne’s ultimate coastal getaway - a beautiful landscape of rolling hobby farms, hidden beachside nooks, and rich culinary experiences. There is simply no better way to discover it than spending a day cruising through the hills and along the coastline in an immaculate 1956 Chevrolet coupe. Personally hosted and driven by local classic car enthusiast and route expert John, this private day trip is completely tailored to your group of up to four passengers. From the road-art installations along the highway to the boutique cellar doors and historic general stores nestled in the countryside, you’ll trade the city buzz for a perfectly relaxed, unhurried pace. It’s an exceptional choice for interstate and international visitors seeking a quintessential Victorian experience, or locals celebrating a special occasion. 🚗 The Vehicle: Experience nostalgic luxury in a beautifully maintained 1950s classic Chevrolet. 🗺️ 100% Tailored by Hand: No rigid tour-bus schedules. John works with you to design a day that matches your personal pace. 👥 Exclusive & Private: One flat rate for your private group of up to 4 passengers.

Itinerary

  • The Peninsula Sensory Loop: A Suggested Blueprint

    This itinerary is a flexible framework. Because this tour is 100% private, we can add, swap, or skip stops on the fly based on what your group wants to explore on the day. Here is a look at a typical day's itinerary options – usually 30-40 minutes per stop with 60 minutes transit from CBD.

  • The Nostalgic Departure & Highway Art

    Slide onto the classic bench seats of the '56 Chevy as you depart the city. As we cruise down the EastLink corridor, keep an eye out for the towering, world-class roadside public sculptures that kickstart the artistic theme of the day.

  • Moonlit Sanctuary Australian Wildlife Reserve

    Prepare for a 60-minute stop en route at the Moonlit Sanctuary where encounters with Australia's most loved native animals will occur. Within nicely presented and contained grounds kangaroos and wallabies roam freely ready for hand feeding while animals such as koalas are on the ready for viewing photo opportunities. (Fees not included).

  • Art in the Australian Bush

    We’ll pull off the highway at Langwarrin to explore this incredible 16-hectare private bushland estate. Wander past over 90 grand outdoor sculptures by major Australian and international artists blending seamlessly into the native gardens, or pause for a morning coffee at the pavilion café.

  • Vines, Vistas & Boutique Cellar Doors

    Cruise into the heart of the Peninsula's rolling hills. We’ll wind through the back roads of Red Hill to arrive at Montalto. Take a stroll through their private estate sculpture trail, admire the sweeping vineyard views, and sample some of the region's acclaimed cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

  • Independent Brews & Country Smokehouse

    Time to switch gears! Pull up to a rustic, independent microbrewery nestled among the tall trees of Red Hill. Relax on the deck with a tasting paddle of hand-crafted ales or a local cider, paired perfectly with their famous, casual southern-style BBQ lunch.

  • Coastal Air & Historic Storefronts

    We’ll head down to the coast for a quick, scenic street-side photo stop along the public foreshore to breathe in the salty sea air. From there, we’ll cruise to the iconic, 1920s Merricks General Store - the perfect rustic spot to browse local artisan pantry items, gourmet produce, and cool-climate wines before tracking home.

End Point

Returns safely and directly back to your original pickup location or a preferred central CBD drop-off point.

Plan B

Because this tour crosses both countryside hills and coastal roads, John keeps a highly adaptable approach to the day. If the Peninsula weather turns overcast or rainy, there is no need to worry—John will work closely with you to seamlessly pivot the itinerary on the fly.
