For more than a century the mild climate of the Mornington Peninsula has been the home of passionate food producers. Even now you can visit local orchards that have been in the same family for generations. The deep red soils of Red Hill are ideal for luscious cherries, autumnal apples, juicy plums, sweet pears and apricots.
Plump tomatoes, groves of olives, and fields of strawberries are grown throughout the hinterland along with the more unusual sour morello cherries, quinces, figs, avocadoes, blueberries and raspberries. The fertile Boneo and Cranbourne soils produce a harvest of delicious vegetables – asparagus in green and white, pumpkins, carrots, potatoes, peas & beans, crisp salad vegetables and herbs. Purchase fresh produce direct from the farmgate or you can Pick Your Own by the basketful.
Across the region boutique kitchens produce a vast range of mouth-watering goodies. Local honey and olive oils, herbal teas and hand roasted coffees, jams made to old family recipes, free range eggs, freeze dried fruits, homemade chutneys and spice blends are waiting to be discovered.
View behind the scenes production at the local cheesery or chocolate makers. Delicious aromas waft from the local bakeries. Gourmet butchers create tasty sausages and smallgoods. Wander the jetty at Mornington for fresh fish caught the same day or try the local mussels from Flinders.
Discover the local beers, cider and a range of fruit liqueurs alongside some of the best wine in the world. Sample an assortment of gourmet product or pick up a hamper at one of the many local retail outlets stocking regional fare.
Look for the MPGourmet logo as your explore the best gourmet produce the Mornington Peninsula has to offer.
