Peninsula VineHop Festival 2026

The Peninsula VineHop Festival is back for another day of tasting, touring and live music across the Mornington Peninsula. On Saturday 21 November, the festival spreads across seven venues, linking more than 30 local craft drink producers with hop-on, hop-off shuttles and private buses.

Billed as a craft drinks tour on a festival scale, VineHop pours everything the Peninsula does well: cool-climate wines, craft beers, seltzers and ciders, plus boutique gin, vodka, whisky and rum. Add live music, DJs and food trucks, and it's a day out to rival any Melbourne festival, with tastings included across every ticket type.

There are a few ways to play the day. Shuttle tickets (North or South) run a hop-on, hop-off loop taking in four venues; the Festival Hub @ The Briars ticket is for those who'd rather settle into the biggest venue, with more bars, more food and a full festival atmosphere; and Private Bus and GA tickets let groups visit any of the seven venues on their own schedule.

Running since 2017, VineHop is strictly an 18+ affair, and organisers have flagged that a change to the shuttle format means fewer tickets this year, so getting a crew together early is wise. Signing up to the VIP list gets you first access before tickets go on sale.
