The Mornington Peninsula is an absolute treat for dietary tastes of any variety. Whether you're a seafood nut, a rabid meat-eater, or a veggie lover, you're guaranteed to find something on this beautiful stretch of coastal paradise that makes you forget all about those quick supermarket meals back home. The area is famed for its cuisine, and the promise of good food and good drink is one of the reasons why visiting is such a popular holiday in Victoria<\/a>. <\/p>\n Eat like a local<\/strong><\/p>\n The fertile land and rich waters of the area have been harnessed for generations by family businesses to grow some of Australia's best produce. Highlights include the local cheeses and chocolates, the plentiful and fresh local seafood, and the fruit from the various picturesque orchards dotted amongst the hinterland. <\/p>\n Perhaps most important is the famous local wine, with pinot noir and chardonnay being particular specialities. Home to over 50 wineries, the area is well and truly vino territory but don't worry if that's not your cup of tea. Boutique beers, ciders and spirits are also on the agenda for some of the region's more experimental brewers. Hopefully a few of these places are on your Mornington Peninsula to do list<\/a>, but it would take a lifetime to explore everything that the land has to offer.<\/p>\n
