Where it started

Since we've recently opened our Balnarring Village store, as well as our small team all having lived on the Mornington Peninsular for a long time,We've been talking pretty flat out about all that Balnarring and the surrounding areas, have to offer. An hour and a bit out of Melbourne and you feel like you've possibly landed somewhere in the Mediterranean at times. Natural beauty is abundant, the water is crystal clear, the air is crisp,the landscape is dynamic and the local cuisine is to die for. There is absolutely no shortage of outstanding food choices and as for wine, Its impossible to run out of options, several wineries from small boutique to large growers dot the peninsular.

The coast and the country marries perfectly together sharing unique and diverse scenery, exceptional produce and an endless supply of things to be seen, drank, eaten or just absorbed. Below are a few of my own favourite phtots that we have taken of little Balnarring moments. On the Western port side of the peninsular, Balnarring neighbours the likes of Red Hill, Merricks, Point Leo and Phillip Island. I'ts hard to summarise the magnitude of whats on offer, But these few photos showcase some of its raw, natural and diverse beauty. For ever inspiring and delicious.
