Destination: ‘Kooyong, Mornington Peninsula’



The Kooyong vineyard and winery are located on the northern end of the Mornington Peninsula, 80km south of Melbourne. Established in 1995 the name Kooyong means ‘where the wild fowl gather’. The land at Kooyong was extensively mapped out prior to planting, with analysis of soil type, geology and drainage leading to a carefully planned selection of varietal and clone. This is indicative of the commitment to quality adopted by winemaker Sandro Mosele, that has taken Kooyong to the forefront of Australian wine in just over a decade. The vineyard and winery are part of the Gjergja family domain which also includes Port Phillip Estate, the location of Kooyong’s brand new cellar door and restaurant.
