Exploring Dromana

- with Emily Davenport

Over summer try the new

releases at Karina Estate

from the excellent 2006

vintage including Sauvignon

Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling,

Cabernet Merlot and Pinot

Noir. For nearly twenty five

years this pretty cellar door

has made a range of wines

that are very affordable.

Visitors are invited to bring a

picnic to enjoy with a glass

of wine in the garden and the

large well stocked toy mat near

the tasting bench is always

popular with smaller visitors.

Head to Five Sons Estate

for a fabulous Meze plate

which includes a number of

Mediterranean inspired tastes

to share. Enjoy with a relaxing

glass of wine on the deck. Try

the 2004 Five Sons Pinot Noir which has now bagged five medals at

wine shows around the country. Art exhibitions are run throughout

the year in conjunction with Gallery One in Mornington. Over

summer experience "Subtle Expressions", works by artists Elena

Ryazanoff and Heather Clygston.

Crittenden at Dromana has created a real foodies destination in

Harrisons Road. Stillwater Restaurant is open seven days a week

for lunch, as well as dinner from Thursday to Saturday. The cellar

door has thirteen wines on tasting as well as olive oil and dukkah

to try. Estate produce such as marinated olives and macaroons are

available along with a

range of kitchenware.

The cellar door has its

own café style menu

which can be enjoyed

down by the lake with

your favourite wine.
