The Pass costs $AU99, is for 2 people and is valid for 12 months.

You can phone Toll Free 1800 804 009 (outside local area) or 03 5987 3078 for further information.

Fine wine, of course, is made so much better by fine food, and here you can buy just-picked and locally made produce, or let some wonderful restaurants and cafes tempt you with dishes that are the perfect complement to your favourite regional wines.

Now, what do you do after that lazy lunch?

A round of golf of course!

You’ll find 18 courses on some of the world's best natural golfing terrain, and you’ll be happy to know, the green fees are decidedly Australian.

Not into golf?

Then you can head off for a leisurely or an invigorating walk, your choice.

Choose a windswept cliff-top, a quiet beach or a bushy path or head for historic Point Nepean where you'll find all three.

But perhaps you’re more of a beachy person.

The Mornington Peninsula has plenty to offer you too.

Surfing, scuba diving, sailing, diving with dolphins or swimming with seals, fishing in Port Phillip Bay or the thrill of horse-riding along the sands of wind-swept Gunnamatta Beach.

Again the choice, as always, is yours.

When it's time take the tension out of life you can just relax in expert hands at one of the many day spas.

Mud wraps, massages, facials, hand and feet treats are all on the menu, together with outdoor Japanese-style hot baths, an Aboriginal relaxation massage and an Arabic steam room.

If you’re still looking for things to do , you’ll find splendid gardens to explore, art galleries and heritage mansions to browse, fine local art and craft galleries, antique stores and lively local markets where you can while away an hour or two.

If you have an interest in art, cultural heritage or maritime history you’ll discover a lot of ‘must-sees’ on the Peninsula including Victoria’s earliest European settlement, military history from the 1880s, historic homesteads and galleries filled with art, antiques, sculpture and hand-blown glass.

Now, of course, you’ll need somewhere to rest your head when your days of great wine and fine food come to a close, you’ll be happy to know that the Mornington Peninsula has every option available to you.

Stay in luxury at some of the finest hotels Victoria has to offer, opt for a cosy B & B (that's Bed & Breakfast if you don't know), or rough it in a tent or caravan, (I believe that’s a trailer for our American friends), whatever your style it will be well catered for here.

As I said right at the start, sometimes big, beautiful things come in relatively small packages, the Mornington Peninsula really is just that….
