For an intimate, hip escape: Polperro Villas

Nestled amid the Polperro Estate’s Talland Hill vineyard, Polperro Villas is a series of four luxury apartments which are ideal for quiet, intimate getaways – one even comes with a private sauna. Polperro is a gem within the collection of Mornington Peninsula wineries, specialising in two different labels: its eponymous label and the more recently established Even Keel, with both focusing on organic and biodynamic wine practices. Wine connoisseurs can choose from three different tasting experiences before heading for dinner at the Vineyard Dining restaurant, which offers main dishes like Flinders Island lamb served with a molasses jus, and burnt white chocolate with estate-grown apples for dessert. Larger groups can also opt to rent out Polperro’s entire 1950s-style farmhouse – perfect for special occasions.
