Merricks Wine District
The Merricks Wine District includes wineries between the towns of Merricks and Red Hill South on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne. The area is home to a chocolate factory and the Peninsula Quarter Horse Association. Also in district are the Merricks Creek vineyard that focuses on Pinot noir based wines and the famous Stoniers Winery, dating from1978, and that produces delightful Chardonnay and Pinot noir wines. Stonier is renowned for crafting excellent varietal wines on the Mornington Peninsula in this district.

East and Coolart Creeks.
