Ocean Eight: A Modern Winery in Mornington Peninsula

This winery offers guests a unique tasting experience in its contemporary underground cellar, designed for wine enthusiasts seeking a memorable outing. Throughout the year, Ocean Eight hosts a variety of traditional and commercial events, welcoming visitors from around the globe.

Founded by the Aylward Family about a decade ago, Ocean Eight has quickly gained recognition in Australia’s wine scene. Michael Aylward, the current owner, honed his winemaking skills by touring vineyards and cellars in France before establishing this dream winery with his wife, Hollie. Today, the Aylward Family passionately exports their wines worldwide, showcasing their commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Exceptional Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay

Spanning 17 hectares, the vineyards at Ocean Eight benefit from ocean breezes, fertile soils, and lush landscapes. This family-owned estate is home to premium varieties such as Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. Their flagship wines, characterized by rich reds and crisp whites, reflect the unique terroir of one of Australia’s most sought-after wine regions.

Modern Wine Cellar with Stunning Views

Over the years, Ocean Eight has evolved, and its aging cellar has been modernized. The winery now features a small degustation room that offers breathtaking views of the barrel room. Visitors are invited to enjoy the stunning scenery while savoring the exceptional wines crafted in the heart of Mornington Peninsula.

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).

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!

Visited ocean eight last week and we did a tasting and it was so gorg, the room where the bar is used to be a stable and is so nice and filled with light (even a lil dog that popped through). I don’t think we got the winemaker’s name but he was great and looked a bit like crispin glover and he told us about how they have a small team that are part of every bit of the winemaking process. We walked around the gardens and they were so enchanted fairy garden core, and there are so many lil spots to sit and drink a glass and feel like ur entering elfdom. loved the pinot gris

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!

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