THINGS TO DO:
Cape Schanck's stunning coastline provides attractions for all types of visitors, whether you choose to visit one of the 62 wineries in the area, play a game of cliff-top golf (10 mins walk), take a walk along the boardwalk or up to the lighthouse with spectacular coastline views, or snorkel amongst the wonderful marine life in the rock pools.
Drive along our coastlines and cruise our quiet country roads, and the Peninsula's love affair with wine, fresh produce and bountiful food on the table quickly becomes obvious.
The Peninsula's landscapes are reminiscent of the Mediterranean too, with silvery olive groves, rolling hills laced with vineyards, waterfront cafes and restaurants, roadside signs for strawberries or free range eggs and lively local markets where growers bring just-picked and just-made produce.
Our gentle maritime climate puts a very individual stamp on Mornington Peninsula wines, as do the micro-climates which result in quite different wine styles from the same grapes grown at neighbouring vineyards.

Neighbourhood highlights
The seeds of the Cape Schanck House were sown when Paul Morgan chanced upon a block of land that inspired him. He was struck foremost by the manner in which the native vegetation had been shaped by the Cape's unforgiving winds and dramatic and beautiful nature of the Cape. That was the beginning of an exciting co-design project between Paul (Paul Morgan Architects) and his younger sister Anna Pearce (Experience Architect).
