About This Experience

In Gippsland: Thousands of little penguins waddling up the beach at sunset close this Phillip Island day — general viewing entry to the famous Penguin Parade is the finale of a food, wine and wildlife itinerary from Melbourne. Explore the idyllic coastal township of Cowes with its golden-sand beaches, then settle in at Phillip Island Winery for a privately guided wine tasting with an accompanying grazing platter, followed by a gourmet grazing feast at the winery or a bay-side location. As golden hour arrives, the Nobbies delivers secluded beaches, scenic boardwalks where wallabies and native wildlife abound, and a glass of sparkling wine before the penguins take the stage. • Phillip Island Penguin Parade entry — general viewing • Privately guided cellar door tasting and grazing platter at Phillip Island Winery • Gourmet grazing feast at the winery or a bay-side location • Nobbies golden hour with sparkling wine and scenic wildlife boardwalk • Free time in the coastal village of Cowes • Optional Koala Conservation Reserve add-on (+$15pp) Departs the Melbourne Arts Centre with a complimentary barista coffee — 11-11.30am during daylight saving (Oct-Mar), 10-10.30am otherwise — and runs approximately 10-12 hours, returning with optional city and Southbank hotel drop-offs.
