Red Hill is a beautiful area set in the Mornington Peninsula’s hinterland. It is characterised by large gum trees, quiet lanes and gentle rolling hills. Tucked away amid the trees and hills are an abundance of vineyards, orchards and galleries. The Red Hill Market on the first Saturday of every month is famous in the region for selling a great range of high quality local produce.
Visit the Red Hill Cool Stores and sample a great range of regional fruit and vegetables and preserves. For the freshest fruit on the Peninsula, head to Ellisfield or Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farms, where you can enjoy picking your own sun-warmed berries. Those who love their wine will love touring the many local vineyards to taste the renowned local specialties, pinot noir, pinot gris and chardonnay. Many of the wineries have established their own restaurants to take advantage of the abundance of local produce on their doorstep.
There are several festivals held throughout the year showcasing the culinary richness of the region. The Fruits of our Labour Festival takes place at harvest time in March, as does the Cool Climate Wine Show. Settle in with a warming glass of red during the Winter Wine Weekend, held every June.
Red Hill - love where you live!
