Wine and Cheese Discovery

About this tour

Spend an hour at Petit Tracteur Bistro learning how wine and cheese work together on your palate. Your host guides you through four tastings—two white, two red—from the winery's cool-climate vineyard, each paired with carefully chosen local and international cheeses. You'll pick up the logic behind pairing and hear the story of the Mornington Peninsula's distinctive growing conditions, all in a laid-back setting that rewards curiosity over pretence.

Highlights

• Four guided tastings: two whites, two reds from estate vineyard
• Local and imported cheeses matched to each wine

• Learn practical pairing principles you can apply at home

What to expect

Your host will walk you through each pairing methodically, explaining why particular wines suit particular cheeses—how acidity, tannin, fat and salt play together. You'll taste the wines first, then the cheese, noticing how flavours shift. Expect straightforward talk about the winery's production and the Mornington Peninsula's cool climate, which shapes the character of these wines. The pace is unhurried; this is conversation-friendly, not rushed.
