This new kid on the block only opened mid December 2017.
"Our venue at St Andrews Beach Brewery is what we believe to be a truly unique part of the Mornington Peninsula. What was once a Freedman family horse training facility has been transformed into a remarkable local brewery and beer garden.
After a significant facelift, the centre of the old horse training facility is where you’ll find our beer garden and brewery. The stables, that were once home to some incredible racing pedigree have been converted into sitting areas. Our visitors can relax in a past Melbourne Cup winners box while enjoying freshly brewed characterful beers, something to eat and even better conversations"

We are defined by place, three vineyards, only ten minutes by tractor apart in space and time, but separated by aspect and altitude, by slope and soil, by the winds which flow through the valleys running south into Bass Strait. Cool places. Elegant places. Places defined, in our minds, by the wines we make from each and which seem to be a world apart.
We invite you to share in our journey in exploring the unique character and potential of each of our vineyards, the evolution of our winemaking and our wines. We hope you find much here to interest you and we look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you at our cellar door and restaurant.

Customers often describe the atmosphere at the farm gate as reminiscent of a farmers’ market where you might arrive to find our farming partners dropping off punnets of strawberries picked only metres away from the farm gate shop, alongside a Flinders farmer unloading boxes of avocados, or perhaps a delivery of freshly milled flour and sourdough bread from Tuerong.

Walking the secluded and peaceful Red Hill Rail Trail offered me a great opportunity to get away from it all – or get back to it all, depending on how you look at ‘it’ – if only for a few hours.
The track, suitable for all walkers and riders runs between Red Hill South and Merricks Station Ground, mostly along the route of the old Red Hill Rail Line. The trail has a distinct local feel, being tucked away from the nearby tourist stops and taking you past the back of stunning private, rural properties, and vineyards. At other times tall pine trees provide shelter from any outside distraction. It is an informal walk with little obvious signage. Drinking water is also not available.

A detour circuit walk provides access inland to Fingal Picnic Area car park, drinking water and toilets. Further north a side track leads to secluded Fingal beach via a long path of steep stairs.
