Description
Barmah Park Restaurant and Cellar Door, Moorooduc, Mornington Peninsula
Located off the Mooroduc Highway, just minutes from Mornington, Barmah Park is conveniently placed in an idyllic setting. However, this boutique vineyard offers more than the view. Focused on providing an experience, Barmah Park offers accommodation, dining, and cellar door experiences. Family-friendly, it has a play area for the kids and children are capably catered to with an enticing selection of food available on the kid’s menu.
Originally beginning its life as a cattle farm, Barmah Park has undergone a total transformation over the years. The move away from cattle farming was inspired by the burgeoning wine region and a desire to take advantage of the richness of the soil. The first vines, pinot noir, were planted back in 1998; the first wine made in 2003. The addition of a restaurant, outdoor dining and cellar door, all completely refurbished in 2017, has transformed Barmah Park again and it is these additions that has inspired their ongoing passion.
Under the guidance of winemakers Richard McIntyre, Jeremy Magyar and Han Tao Lau, Barmah Park produces three ranges of wine: Arthurs Seat, Lighthouse, and their Limited Vintage range.
Wines
The range of wines include:
- Chardonnay
- Pinot Gris Rosé
- Pinot Noir
- Shiraz (Syrah)
- Shiraz Cabernet
