2023 Verve Chardonnay release

2023 Pinot Noir & Aylward Pinot Noir release

January Cellar door opening hours

Welcome to Ocean Eight

When defining what identifies the Ocean Eight wines, Mike Aylward always returns to two ideas he has worked on since the first release wine; how well are they going to match with food and will they best represent the climate and grape growing conditions of the Mornington Peninsula.

New 2023 Pinot Noir now available

The 2023 vintage was made from a smaller than usual crop yield, due to disrupted anthesis and subsequent pollination. From this fruit, the wine produced has a lovely bouquet of freshly picked light red fruits that leaps out of the glass. To taste, there is the sensation of dark red cherries supported by gentle tannins to complete the package of an elegant Pinot Noir.

Opening hours at the Cellar Door

Ocean Eight weekly cellar door opening hours.

Open 7 days a week in January 2025

The gardens at Ocean Eight are a beautiful place to enjoy our wines by the glass, and visitors are welcome to bring their own picnic food.

If you are planning a trip to the Mornington Peninsula, do yourself a favour and make sure you stop in to the Cellar Door at Ocean Eight Winery. The winery itself is so beautiful, the visual as you enter the driveway, framed with trees, hills in the backdrop... is just breathtaking. And then there are the wines... these wines are highly sought after and you will find them on the best bespoke wine lists in Melbourne restaurants. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. 100% recommend a trip to Ocean Eight Winery, my pick for the Mornington Peninsula. Enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous spot to picnic on the grass (bring your own) under the trees and enjoy some wine and some Vietnamese food. Unfortunately the cellar door will not let you taste wine , but they do sell wine by the glass. There’s a pop-up Bia Hoi selling freshly made Vietnamese dishes. The “Bunnings sausage” was sensational, and the dumplings and pork bao both delicious. Very popular so get there early (before 12.30).

Great little winery, we were lucky to have a look at the cellar downstairs, incredible experience! The wines are lovely, sampled 6 and bought 3 back. Recommend to drop in, I don't believe you can book.

One of my all time faves! Visited again recently and the grounds had changed so much since the last time I’d been. It’s an absolutely breathtaking place. The staff are an absolute delight and so knowledgeable. We had a tasting, went with a glass of Pinot each & took home a bottle of their rosé. Gorgeous!

Enjoyed a wine tasting earlier in the day - their bespoke Chardonnay is phenomenal. Lovely and peaceful setting in gorgeous surrounds.
