Experience the best of Kimberley station life and luxury: dramatic ancient landscapes and modern comforts, unique outback adventures and gourmet refreshments.
Arrive in Melbourne and collect your rental car. Hit the road and head for the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne’s deliciously diverse weekend playground. Call in to Montalto to enjoy a guided tasting of a collection of the estate’s current and back vintages, including limited wines not available anywhere else. Stay for lunch and enjoy a seasonal menu showcasing produce drawn from the estate gardens, then take a stroll through the wetlands and vineyards to explore the Montalto Sculpture Prize collection. From here, it is only a short drive to Jackalope, your home among the vines for the next three nights.
A full-day private tour tailored to your tastes, provides personalised introductions to local winemakers and guided tastings at a collection of the region’s best wineries.
Dinner with matched wines at the hatted Doot Doot Doot is a highlight of your stay at Jackalope that also includes a Willow Creek wine experience. Wander among the vines and through the working winery with your guide before sitting down to enjoy a tasting and blending experience overlooking the vineyard followed by lunch at Rare Hare restaurant. Then relax and rejuvenate with an afternoon bathing in the local geothermal mineral waters.
Explore the region at your own pace: hike the coast, browse the local galleries and sample fresh produce from the farm gates. Then call in to Bass & Flinders Distillery to enjoy a gin masterclass, blending local botanicals to craft your own gin to take home as a memento of your Mornington Peninsula adventures before returning to Melbourne for your onward travel arrangements.

We have been blown away by everything - hotels, food, people, golf, wine - the list is endless. You did an amazing job
Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
From our arrival in Sydney .. to our last stop in Queenstown .. we will carry with us the best memories of our trip and all of your efforts. The incredible private boat tours .. the bespoke wine tours with the best guides .. our accommodations .. and the excellent itinerary and pacing, made for a perfect trip.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!
Your country, its people and your team could not have made us feel more welcome.
Thank you for all the special moments you enabled us to experience.
