A Mornington Peninsula dairy tale

Mornington Peninsula’s first and only goat’s milk dairy has been nestled high in the hills of Main Ridge since 2001. With its passion for cheese and a commitment to quality, Main Ridge Dairy has become a local gem, producing some of the finest goat’s cheeses in Australia.

The secret to its success starts from the ground up. Sonia Kent, who bought the business with her husband, Wayne, in 2021, puts it simply: "Great cheese begins with great milk, and great milk starts with great grass." Their 300-strong herd of Swiss-heritage Saanen and Toggenburg goats enjoy a life of luxury on the farm, grazing on lush paddocks that stretch as far as the eye can see. These happy goats, considered the true heroes of the business, are treated with care and respect, each one with its own name and a comfy straw bed on which to rest each night.

Every day for a Main Ridge Dairy goat starts with the sunrise. After a nibble on some hay, it is time for the goats to head to the milking shed, where fresh pellets await them. Milking time is as much a routine as it is a treat, the goats racing to their spots, eager for their pellets while they are milked in small groups of 16. The hum of the milk machine is like music to their ears, signalling another day of fresh milk production.

Once the milking is complete, the goats head back to the paddocks for a day of grazing, playing and lounging. They frolic in small groups, climb logs and enjoy the sunshine. Visitors to the farm can even join in the fun, feeding the goats special grains that are available in small bags from Billies, the onsite cheese cellar.

Meanwhile, the freshly collected milk is taken straight to the cheesery, where the magic happens. Using only 100 per cent farm-fresh goat’s milk, the skilled cheesemakers at Main Ridge Dairy handcraft every single cheese. From soft, spreadable cheeses to semi-hard and aged varieties, each cheese is carefully hand-ladled and made with a gentle, artisan process with no automation here. This dedication to craftsmanship has earned them numerous accolades, including recognition with six awards at the recent Australian Food Awards.

Throughout the day, the goats enjoy more than just lounging in the paddocks. One of the highlights of their day is when fresh green grass is laid out on the feeding pad. Despite there being plenty for everyone, it is always a race to the pad, with each goat eager to be first to nibble on the delicious grass.

As the day winds down, it’s time for the second round of milking. Once again, the goats race to the shed, jostling for position, trying to outdo their morning session. Afterwards, they settle back into their cosy straw beds, nibble on some hay, and relax for the night. The cycle repeats itself the next morning when the sun rises, and a new day begins on the farm.

For Sonia and Wayne, the goats aren’t just livestock, they’re the heroes of the business. Sonia’s background in animal welfare shines through in the way the goats are treated, ensuring they live happy, healthy lives. It’s this care, combined with a passion for cheese, that makes Main Ridge Dairy a stand-out.

If you can’t stay to enjoy the farm's atmosphere, you can still take a piece of Main Ridge Dairy home with you. Its cheeses, accompaniments and even merchandise are available at Billies, making for perfect gifts or treats to enjoy at home. And with group bookings available, Main Ridge Dairy is an ideal destination for a day out or even a special event, offering both indoor and outdoor spaces with stunning views of the hills and the playful goats that call them home.

Red Hill Estate

Multi-award-winning wine producer Red Hill Estate has once again elevated its offering. Famous for its cool-climate wines, including the celebrated pinot noir, the estate has recently opened the doors to its new Tuscan-inspired farmhouse restaurant. This addition brings the perfect complement to its award-winning wines and cements its reputation as a highly esteemed destination for both locals and tourists.

Since its founding in 1989, Red Hill Estate has been synonymous with premium wines that showcase elegance, finesse, and classical style. With a commitment to producing exceptional cool-climate wines, Red Hill Estate has grown into one of Australia's most reputable wineries. Its flagship wines, primarily crafted from fruit sourced from the nearby vineyard, epitomise the best the Peninsula has to offer.

Overseen by owner Frank Fabrizio, the estate’s winemaking team is dedicated to refining wines that are as complex as they are approachable. Frank, whose family roots trace back to Italy, continues the legacy of the passion for winemaking instilled by the family’s nonno, Domenico Fabrizio, who Red Hill Estate continues to honour by naming its range of Italian varietals after him. This deep connection to both the art of winemaking and Italian heritage shines through in every bottle, making Red Hill Estate a proud standard-bearer for Australia’s cool-climate wine regions.

The recent opening of the estate’s restaurant marks the start of a bold new chapter. The Tuscan farmhouse design merges old-world charm with modern elegance, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and refined. The welcoming warmth of the restaurant space, with its timber beams, exposed stonework and inviting communal tables, immediately sets the tone for the dining experience. Diners are encouraged to relax, indulge and share, just as you would in the heart of Italy.

Helmed by head chef Luca, the menu features Italian-style cuisine crafted with local seasonal ingredients. Traditional dishes are given a contemporary twist, bringing out the best of both worlds. Signature dishes such as handmade pasta, slow-cooked meats and fresh seafood pair beautifully with the estate’s wines. Guests can also enjoy special wine pairings with their meals, expertly chosen to enhance the flavours of each dish.

The restaurant, open from Thursday to Monday, is already attracting praise for its vibrant, relaxed atmosphere and superb cuisine.

Red Hill Truffles

Truffle hunting at Red Hill Truffles is an exciting food adventure in a delightful rustic setting. The family farm has been producing Périgord black truffles since 2010, while summer truffles – a lighter, creamier version of the black truffle – have been harvested since 2022.

The treasured fungi are hidden beneath oak and hazelnut trees surrounded by native bush and only detected by clever, specially trained dogs. Guests walk the avenues of trees with the dogs and a guide who’s an expert in the world of truffles.

Once a truffle has been detected, guests have the opportunity to kneel on the ground with a cushion, put their nose to the earth and breathe in the pungent aroma before carefully digging it out. Freshly harvested truffles are placed in a trug – a basket used to carry fresh produce – to take back to the welcoming warmth of the pavilion, an old hay shed restored with wood milled from the farm.

Guests are introduced to the fascinating history of truffles before a hunt begins and learn more as the adventure unfolds, including how to clean and prepare them, and of course how best to enjoy them.

Homemade wood-fired pizza served with truffles from the morning’s hunt, which guests can shave themselves, is a feature of the truffle tastes on offer with a hunt. Other truffle-hunting and dining options are available in conjunction with local restaurant partners.

Visitors and hunt guests are also able to purchase fresh truffles when in season, along with locally prepared truffle products including butter, salt, honey, mustard, aioli and mushroom paste, from the farm gate.

Winter truffle hunts are held from June to August and summer truffle hunts from December to February. Book public and private hunts at

Rocky Creek Strawberry Farm

Rocky Creek is a fourth-generation property operated by the Gallace family whose farm gate opened to the public in 1964 as Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm. It provided locals and visitors of all ages the chance to discover the excitement of picking fruit straight from the plant. In 2016 the Gallaces sold the farm, then in 2022 it returned to the family with a new name and a new lease on life but with the same flavourful strawberries.

Situated in the lush Main Ridge hinterland, bountiful fields of ruby-red strawberries are waiting for you to get lost in the popular activity. Pick your juicy strawberries to take home as you bask in the sun and immerse yourself in the experience of farm to table.

Expect to indulge in the tastiest strawberries you’ve ever eaten alongside milkshakes and freshly churned strawberry ice cream. You can’t go past the waffle dish: two Belgian waffles, scoops of strawberry ice cream, whipped cream and melted Belgian couverture chocolate. Spoil yourself with the famous Strawberry Temptation Sundae, with layers of strawberry ice cream, fresh and marinated strawberries, whipped cream, wafers and strawberry sauce piled high in an old-school sundae glass. Devonshire tea with freshly made scones, homemade jam and fresh local cream is another decadent choice. Peruse the local gourmet goods on offer, including jams, freeze-dried strawberries, chocolates and more.

With more than 20 years’ experience breeding new varieties of strawberries, the Gallaces have recently extended their pick-your-own offerings to blueberries, blackberries and raspberries when they’re in season during January and February. Seasonally, these tantalising new additions will appear on the café specials.

No bookings are required; simply bring your appetite and prepare to create memories in the strawberry fields.

Opening hours: daily 10am-5pm from November-April (u-pick season); 11am-4pm Friday-Sunday from May-October (off-season)
