Wine hotels in the Mornington Peninsula

Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley are Victoria’s two leading wine regions, famed for their elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines produced by the cooler climate of Australia’s south-eastern, coastal corner. As the former is only an hour to the south of Melbourne, sitting between Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait, wine hotels in the Mornington Peninsula offer a choice of a coastal or city location.

Mornington Peninsula wine hotels for the city

For stylish, fuss-free rooms - and great value - Melbourne’s Middle Park Hotel is hard to beat. The handsome, period building reveals rooms that are cool in monochrome colours, some with sexy black bathrooms and roll-top baths. The service is friendly, there’s excellent gastropub-style food plus an open-air market (the largest in the southern hemisphere) and the Botanical Gardens are close by.

The Prince, in the seaside suburb of St Kilda, is another excellent-value city hotel. Its 40 sleek, Scandi-chic rooms - all white walls, wooden floors and funky lighting - are large and airy. There’s a bistro-style restaurant plus a sauna and steam room to recover from all that wine-tasting.
