Max’s, Red Hill

Loading ... Loading ...

After three years abroad returning to the Mornington Peninsula has been heaven sent. The views, beaches, bushland, wildlife, people, restaurants and the vineyards- how lucky we are to have this in our own backyard. So why not take a drive to the Peninsula, the ultimate getaway and drive down the backroads to discover hidden wineries and restaurants, wander through Green’s Bush or stay a night or two in a delightful B & B. I can highly recommend Max’s at Red Hill Estate, for fabulous food, wine & accommodation. So why wait - endulge your senses!!!

    We were married at Max’s in 2004. It was absolutely magical and the best part is that we get to come back every year to enjoy it all over again! I cannot recommend a restaurant on the mornington peninsula more highly.
