Holly Klintworth, Bass and Flinders: Pioneering the Art of Australian Brandy

In the heart of Mornington Peninsula, where rolling vineyards meet the sea, lies Bass & Flinders Distillery, home to one of Australia's most innovative and dedicated distillers, Holly Klintworth. As the chief distiller and Managing Director at Bass & Flinders, Holly has been at the forefront of the brandy-making game, constantly pushing the boundaries of tradition while staying true to this age-old spirit's essence.

Trofeo Estate

Trofeo Estate encompasses a vineyard, cellar door, winery, & a thriving cafe. At the core of the estate is a philosophy that embraces the practice of biodynamics, sustainability & old world winemaking techniques & this is expressed through fresh, home grown produce from the kitchen and café, delicious take home condiments and stunning array of wines from the cellar door.

Volpino

With a strong emphasis on fresh and local produce, Volpino offers an array of Mediterranean inspired seasonal dishes to compliment the classic wood fired pizzas that are a mainstay of this vibrant, beachside venue. The deck is super sized and a perfect place to soak up the winters sun, unwind and dine alfresco with friends, family or as a couple. Add a unique, hand selected wine list and you have the perfect ingredients for a memorable day or night out. To borrow a famous Australian phrase, it’s all about the vibe and it’s this attitude that inspires us to follow the boys from Volpino.

Candle Making Workshop at Red Hill Candle Co

Join the Red Hill Candle Co team in their Scent Lab located in Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula where you will get hands on and learn the basics of candle making. Their 90minute workshop is designed to be a fun memorable day out rather than a heavily detailed training on making candles. At the end of the workshop you will have designed and made two of your very own custom fragranced candles to take home.

Biji Dining

Something unique happened the other night in Red Hill South. We stumbled upon a dining pop-up that, apart from having incredibly delicious food, blew us away because it was so humble, imaginative, and authentic. It reminded us of days when things were a lot simpler, yet the food was far from that; it has such a sophistication, where the flavours of each meal took you on a journey far away.
