With the weekend upon us it meant Laurence and Maddy were able to join us for a day out. We all fancied a winery but with so many in Victoria where to go, North, South or East? After some research we decided to wing it and try one in the South East, Mornington Peninsula. Well our first choice didn’t work out which was Foxey’s Hangout, but the carpark attendant suggested we try the sister winery around 15 minutes up the road, called Morning Sun Vineyard. There wasn’t much sun around but plenty of wine.
The menu was short and tapas style so we just ordered every item! Sadly I forgot to take many photos of the food as it disappeared all too quickly. The staff and service were excellent and you could taste any wine. The location was just perfect and it was very cosy inside.
A luscious Shiraz for three and a “flight of whites” for me.
Another fractioned photo!
A wonderful way to spend a Saturday, family, food and wine
On the drive home we passed by a stunning mural on a water tank, so I jumped out and took a few photos. Located on Arthurs Seat Road it was painted by Michael Leeworthy. It depicts life in Arthurs Seat and is a tribute to the local firefighters. I’m linking it to PPAC.

Looks like a great family outing! And that mural is a bonus 🙂
Thanks Sarah, it was a lovely find, have a great weekend 🙂
What a lovely trip. I can’t believe you got every item on the menu! Yum! The food looked great! The mural was so beautiful. I love the old truck and all the animals. What a peaceyplace! Thanks for linking to PPAC, Ali. 🤗🤗😍
Thanks for your comments Marsha, hope you’re feeling okay 🙂
That winery just looks so lovely! What a wonderful place to visit 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Thanks Meg, you too 🌞
Marvellous trip! The food looks great, the wine very drinkable (but I have to ask, what were the white wines??),and the mural fun…
A sparkling, a Pinot Gris and a Pinot Grigio. It’s a new thing a bit more than a tasting ..50ml in each glass. Enough for a small lunchtime tipple!
Sounds excellent…I have had some good Pinot Gris from Alsace, but never Southern Hemisphere
How lovely Alison, a vineyard and lunch with family! Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Thanks Marion, you too 🌞
You can’t beat a good winery day can you….

Thanks for your comments Natalie 🙂 enjoy you week too
What a lovely vineyard! Actually sometime this year my husband will be sent to Australia for work. At some point I plan to vacation there — it’s likely after his assignment ends.
Well we love Australia and have been here for 18 years now, moving from Hong Kong
You will love it 😀
