Roll out your picnic rug, and don't bother with the food: the Peninsula Picnic is back. On Saturday, March 25, Mornington Racecourse will be transformed into the region's biggest food, wine and music event that brings the Mornington Peninsula's best restaurants, wineries and producers together.
This year, the music line-up will be headlined by indie outfit the Temper Trap, who will be joined by award-winning acoustic troubadour Josh Pyke, pop songstress Tia Gostelow, all-woman group Queen of Hearts Mariachi and singer Tahls.
Make the most of the country harvest atmosphere and see what the local chefs, restaurants and wineries have brought along with them by way of nibbles and tipples. This year, the line-up includes local favourites like D.O.C Mornington, Red Gum BBQ, the Rocks Mornington and Alatonero and distilleries like JimmyRum and Bass & Flinders Distillery.
Pack a few shopping bags before you go, as there will be a marketplace selling fresh local produce, wines, and homemade and artisan wares. The Peninsula Picnic is a family-friendly event. To see the full culinary line-up and to purchase tickets, head to the website.
