Vulcano Gelato

At Love the Pen, we have a confessed weakness for good gelato, a preference that easily trumps ice cream. The silky-smooth texture, the intensity of flavours, and the lower fat content make gelato a superior indulgence. Unlike its ice cream counterpart, gelato is churned at a slower rate, incorporating less air and resulting in a denser, more flavourful experience. It's served at a slightly warmer temperature, allowing the true essence of the ingredients to shine through. And let's not forget, it's an Italian masterpiece that has captured hearts globally.

JimmyRum Distillery

Located in the bustling commercial district of Dromana, Jimmy Rum Distillery stands out as a unique gem. It's not just a haven for rum enthusiasts but a place that offers a unique blend of culinary delights, spirited beverages, and a lively yet laid-back atmosphere. As the first dedicated craft rum distillery in Victoria, it's a testament to the passion and creativity of its founder, James McPherson, fondly known as Jimmy.

South Beach Project

Going out for a brunch of avocado on toast and a perfectly brewed flat white is a weekend ritual for many down Mt Martha way but the eclectic menu also includes dishes such as Fried Noodle Omelette, Mexican Grain Salad, Cauliflower Cous Cous & Korean Fried Chicken Burgers. As a region, we are spoiled for choice when it comes to exceptional cafes and South Beach Project fits neatly into this bracket.

InterContinental Sorrento

In the picturesque seaside town of Sorrento, the InterContinental Sorrento Mornington Peninsula stands as a living testament to vision, innovation, and enduring charm. Since its inception in 1875, this iconic hotel has been a symbol of hospitality and sophistication.
