Red Hill Hinterland
Simply put The Gorgelicious Store has been one of Red Hills most consistent performers since it opened in July, 2014. We’ve been popping in ever since and it’s never been anything but delicious - not even once.

Harvested by hand in Red Hill
The Red Hill Lavender Farm & Distillery produces a small variety of exceptional & effective products containing only pure essential oils – it’ a dream come true for Kylie and Brad Crump and their daughters. Inspired by the beauty of Provence, they hand-planted fields of lavender.
Want to stay somewhere different?
The sun is out, and spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party’. When we think of a casual good day out ‘on the hill’ we think of the Red Hill Brewery. In the heart of Red Hill, they are open every Friday to Sunday plus public holidays and even more in summer.
Little Rebel
For Little Rebel, it’s all about the coffee. Husband and wife team Peter and Trish started in the café business in 2010 and soon discovered that the coffee available for them to offer their customers simply wasn’t good enough. If you’re going to serve coffee, why not serve the best right?
Essence Food for the Soul
When chef husband and wife team Jim and Melanie Houston got married at the Portsea Hotel, little did they know that 10 years later they would buy a business across the road from the Portsea Hotel and live in it with their three children for the best part of a year. That business is now known as Essence Food for the Soul. As chefs, life for Jim and Melanie was busy, particularly with three young children. The long hours took a strain, and they were ready to make a lifestyle change within the food industry. Sometimes everything falls into place and you find the ideal scenario, and this wholesale food business was perfect for the chef team. Essence Food for the Soul is all about the best quality produce made into delicious, heat and serve meals that help the time poor to eat well.
Peninsula Hot Springs
There is a place on the Mornington Peninsula where its waters have been likened to a healing centre, a place of calm and contemplation, where the difficulties of living can be alleviated or resolved and the associated ailments of the body can be provided with relief. It’s safe to say that its one of our favourite spots and know to many others as the Peninsula Hot Springs.
Sleek new look at Paringa
At Paringa, they have just been awarded their fourth consecutive Chef’s Hat in the Age Good Food Guide 2017. Whilst they were once known for the rustic architectural charm of their restaurant, the building now has a sleek new look.
Sophisticated menu built around the garden
For our friends at Montalto, Spring is the time is when the ground begins to warm, a time to appreciate the first tender flower buds and new leaf shoots signifying nature’s awakening from its winter slumber.

In 1924, Merricks General Wine Store (MGWS) opened, to serve a variety of needs to the local community. To this day, the well preserved building offers a glimpse into the past as a typical example of the rural general stores that were once such a central hub of community life. The charming rustic building, with gable bays & verandah, & a tree-shaded deck with outdoor fireplace, provides the kind of setting that somehow seems to infuse itself with the tastes on offer. Serving contemporary breakfast, lunch and snacks, the store is a popular meeting spot for many that also includes a produce store, selling a range of locally harvested jams, relishes and sauces.

Exquisite choice of food and wine
Once you settle in at Lindenderry Red Hill you may well lose yourself in this picturesque, European styled luxury estate. The hotel is created as an intimate world of its own with everything you need either within the property or in the acres of gardens which surrounds you but the other advantage is that it’s smack bang in the middle of Red Hill and the exquisite choices of food and wine experiences or it’s ‘alfresco activity’ – you can walk, crawl or ride to anywhere and back from here.
