It has never been easier to stretch a day out into a mini-break with new and exciting accommodation options springing up in wine regions across Australia.  Always keen to enhance visitor experience, the Ultimate Wineries are leading the charge with fabulous overnight stays just footsteps from those glorious vines we love to admire.

Set on Willow Creek's pristine vineyard on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, Jackalope offers a boutique luxury experience, cutting edge design and world class facilities in a peaceful rural location.

Combine a stay at Jackalope with a winery experience at neighbour and fellow Ultimate Winery, Montalto, on one of three Mornington Peninsula packages or use Jackalope as your luxe basecamp while you explore the region.

In Victoria’s stunning King Valley, The Mountain View Hotel is a boutique gastro-pub situated in Whitfield. The hotel, surrounded by beautiful established gardens, sits alongside Jessie's Creek and is a stone’s throw from the picturesque vineyards of the King Valley.
