Phillip Island: Wine, Wildlife & Penguins with Gourmet Feast

Departing from Phillip Island, your first stop is at Phillip Island Winery in Ventnor. Take a guided cellar door tasting of approximately six premium Victorian wines, expertly paired with a gourmet regional grazing platter featuring local Bass Strait cheeses, artisan dips, and seasonal produce. Indulge in a delicious feast of woodfired pizzas, gourmet salads, and seasoned fries served at either the winery or a picturesque bay-side location overlooking Bass Strait.

As the afternoon sun begins to set, explore The Nobbies—Phillip Island's dramatic western coastline where rugged cliffs meet the Southern Ocean. Walk the scenic boardwalks during golden hour, spotting wild wallabies, native seabirds, and Australian fur seals basking on Seal Rocks offshore. Toast the spectacular sunset with sparkling wine as the sky transforms into brilliant shades of orange and pink.

The highlight awaits at Summerlands Beach, home to the world-famous Phillip Island Penguin Parade. As dusk falls, witness thousands of Little Penguins—the world's smallest penguin species, standing just 33cm tall—emerge from Bass Strait after a day of fishing. Watch these adorable creatures waddle across the sand in groups, making their way home to their burrows. This nightly ritual is one of Victoria's most beloved wildlife experiences and a truly magical moment you'll never forget.

Travel in comfort aboard a premium midi coach with Wifi, air-conditioning, and guaranteed window seats for every booking. With a maximum of just 15 travelers, enjoy an intimate experience with your knowledgeable local guide. Hassle-free hotel pickup and return from Phillip Island or San Remo accommodation makes this the perfect half-day escape combining the very best of the island's wine, wildlife, and coastal wonders.
