Myrtaceae Winery — Attraction in Melbourne

The place is cute and views lovely. The owners are super friendly. We arrived on a warm day and struggled to make some shade from the umbrellas provided. Maybe some more shade options would be better for the warmer weather. We were supposed to taste 5 different wines but were only given 4. We were never offered to purchase anything so we could sit outside and enjoy the view. That was it so we bought 2 bottles and left. I ordered 2 platters @ $10 per head and there were 7 of us. I was expecting exactly what was on the photos of their website. Meats, breads, cheeses, olives, dips, crackers etc., They look like quite substantial platters so we were going to enjoy them for lunch. What came out was 2 small plates.

After failing to secure a booking at one of the larger wineries on the peninsula, my partner and I managed to book a place at Myrtaceae Winery. Suffice to say, we ended up far happier than we would have been if we'd gone elsewhere. The wine was amazing, the owners were lovely and very helpful, the location was beautiful, and Sarlee the Jack Russel was adorable! One of the owners, David, and I bonded over our love of Fawlty Towers. We would gladly visit again, and intend to in the future.
