If the Mornington Peninsula had a category where you "slip away for 48 hours and then want to return forever"
Mantons Creek Estate would belong in it. The estate is tucked off the beaten track in Red Hill and combines winery, cellar door, restaurant and just four boutique suites overlooking the vineyard, which keeps the whole setup intimate in a way many wine properties claim but do not always manage.
What makes it particularly tempting is that it is not asking you to choose between food and wine.
Quattro Restaurant is part of the draw, and the estate bundles stays with lunch and a bottle of estate wine in some packages. In other words, this is a place that understands one very basic truth: a vineyard escape improves dramatically when the logistics of eating and drinking are already taken care of.
