The Age Good Food Guide 2025 One Hat

We are deeply honoured to share that Polperro Vineyard Dining has been awarded one hat in The Age Good Food Guide 2025 for the third consecutive year.

We want to extend the biggest thank you to our entire team for bringing such incredible talent and passion day in and day out. Every dish, every service, and every guest experience reflects your exceptional talent, and we couldn’t be prouder. This recognition is for every single one of you.

We’d also like to tip our hat to our region! The Mornington Peninsula is remarkably blessed with outstanding dining, wine, and produce, and we stand proudly alongside our peers in this beautiful and supportive hospitality community.

Everything feels easy at this luxe farmhouse-style pavilion. Staff are plentiful and never far away. On cold days the fire roars. And there’s no stressing about what to order – within minutes several intricate snacks arrive to kick off the set menu.

That’s when easy switches to artful. A halved cucumber, freshly picked from Polperro’s organic farm, wears dainty spots of smoked eel and lobster mousse. After a parade of skilfully executed small dishes, such as swordfish tartare with wasabi oil and flying fish roe, the main course could be tender duck breast, dry-aged for 14 days and glazed in plum vinegar. You might head to the deck, overlooking vines and old gum trees, for a deconstructed dessert. With a glass of estate chardonnay in hand, it’s a fitting end to one of the more refined lunches in the country”.
