The spectacular scenery of the Mornington Peninsula provides a perfect backdrop for a host of regional gourmet events. Throughout the year you will find a delicious exploration of farm-gates and restaurants across this diverse region. Tastings, tours, demonstrations, classes, markets, hampers, produce platters, picnics, meet the maker sessions, cooking classes, glorious breakfasts, long lunches, slow dinners, and more.

Discover the wonderful MPGourmet “Harvest to Table” festival held around the Labour Day long weekend in March. This annual hallmark event ties in with the Mornington Peninsula Vigneron Association’s (MPVA) Pinot’s Week. The Winter Indulgence program features a Regional Progressive Farmers Market at cellar doors & attractions, while restaurants showcase local gourmet produce matched with Mornington Peninsula wines & beverages. The biannual Chefs Spring Table event and MPGourmet Cook Off are not to be missed, and the Mornington Peninsula Gourmet Awards celebrate all that is gourmet across the region.

Throughout the year a myriad of local venues host exhibitions, musical & theatrical performances, festivals, street parades, markets, master classes and feasts for all the senses.
