Fodor's Expert Review Stonier Winery

This preeminent Mornington Peninsula producer of wines uses grapes from the region's oldest vines. The establishment specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (from vines first planted in 1978 and 1982, respectively) and also makes a sparkling Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Although there's no restaurant, you can order a platter featuring local Red Hill cheeses to enjoy on the lawns. Visitors may be invited on an informal tour of the fermentation and barrel rooms. Several events take place during the year, such as the dedicated Sparkling Day in December.
