One-and-a-half-hours south of Melbourne the Mornington Peninsula is a great venue for family holidays with lovely beaches, great restaurants and spectacular wineries. The Montalto Vineyard and Olive Grove in particular has a lovely restaurant attached with lots of local produce including cheeses and cherries making the most spectacular pudding ever.
