A truly excellent boutique wine tour. Our very affable guide, Arthur O'Bryan, has intimate knowledge of the wines and winemakers of the region. He skillfully tailored his delivery to the individual interests of the four of us in the group. We visited a number of unique boutique wineries and were able to speak personally to the winemakers at each of them. Gourmet morning nibbles and a casual lunch were included. I highly recommend this tour.

Arthur was the absolute best! My wife and I went into the tour novices and have left with so much knowledge about the region and winemaking in general. Arthur is hilarious and so much fun and is clearly a well respected fixture of the wine community here in the Mornington Peninsula. He introduced us to such incredible people along the way, it really was an absolutely perfect day for us and one of the major standouts of our two week trip to Australia.

Had the pleasure over the weekend to experience a day in the vines with Arthur from Mornington Peninsula Plunge Winery tours. From deep understandings of the region and their wine makers to many a laugh along the way Arthur took us to a number of boutique wineries and enjoyed a wine over lunch. Arthur’s knowledge and long-standing relationships with the wine makers made for a unique experience that I’d happily recommend to anyone that has an appreciation for wine. A must do for anyone visiting the region.

What an amazing day! Arthur is such a great host with a wealth of local knowledge and connections. I've been on a few wine tours before but Arthur did an outstanding job of personalising the tour to our tastes and interests. The locations were stunning, the transport was very comfy and the host was first class. Highly recommend!!!

We cannot recommend this Tour enough, even for those who visit the Peninsula often as we do. We thought we had seen most of the Peninsula's wineries, then Arthur opened our eyes to so much more. Really refreshing! We had our tour tailor made based on our tastes and unlike some tours, Arthur had put in some effort to make sure the other couple on our tour would be compatible (see previous review), having this other couple join us enhanced our experience. The whole day went at a gentle pace, yet we were on time for all of our appointments. Very very relaxing!

I have done many wine tours all over the world and I must say, this one beats them all. Everyone from wine experts through to those simply wanting an interesting day out on the stunning Mornington Peninsula will love this tour as Arthur is both a wealth of knowledge, and an extremely entertaining guide and host.
I got to explore secret beaches, eat delicious local foods, meet some of the most respected winemakers on the Peninsula, try their wines, and gain an understanding of what makes this region so special.
I cannot recommend the tour highly enough, it is a completely different experience

Arthur is a sensational facilitator who customised a personal wine tour that was perfect for us. Without being pretentious he gave us great stories behind the wines. We met winemakers, visited off the beaten track wineries and got insights into the personalities and diversity of region. We highly recommend the whole experience!

We decided to book with Arthur after reading about his fantastic tours in The Australian Newspaper. It was a fabulous choice. Arthur's tours are an unforgettable journey into Mornington Peninsula wine. His knowledge is phenomenal and his passion for the region and its wines is an exhilarating journey. If you love wine and adventure, whatever you do book this tour!!

Don't think twice about booking a Plunge tour - it's awesome! My friends and I recently spent the most beautiful winter day with Arthur on the Peninsula and had the BEST time. He organised an amazing itinerary for us from start to finish...behind the scenes access, private tastings with fantastic wines, special little extras (bottle of sparkling rose, delicious local cheeses, olives, berries), etc. - experiences you just won't find anywhere else. Arthur's vast knowledge and passion for the region shine through, and his affable personality made the day all the more enjoyable. It was fantastic. Highly

Had a great day with Arthur celebrating my wife's birthday. Arthur picked us up at our B&B with fresh strawberries and the day got better. Arthur's very knowledgeable of the area's wine history and knows which wineries to visit to experience the area. You can't go wrong taking a tour with Plunge Wine Tours.
