Our winemaking competition is an open amateur winemaking competition showcasing home-made wines from fruit/vegetable/flowers/herbs and red/white grape wines. Competition categories to be judged include still, sparkling, fortified wines and liqueurs.   

In addition to tasting the many wines available, you may meet the winemakers and learn the techniques required to make your own wine.

You may sample wines made from citrus fruits, stone fruits, berries, guavas, carrots, parsnips, herbs and many other exotic ingredients. Red and white wines such as shiraz, cabernet, merlot, pinot noir, riesling, chardonnay, muscat are usually well represented.   

The Briars Park has many other activities for those interested in coming along. These include picnic facilities, visitor information centre, easy wildlife bushwalks, bird hide viewing areas, and historic 1840’s homestead with Napoleonic memorabilia, Josephine’s Restaurant and historic farm implement display.   

Located on the Mornington Peninsula, the venue is close to the peninsula’s beaches, tourist attractions and country side. Commercial wineries are close at hand along with many fine foods and produce outlets.   

Come and try our excellent wines. Why not have the whole day out on the peninsula, starting with our wine tasting and wine show!
