Crittenden WINES was first planted in 1982 and is now home to some of the oldest vines on the Mornington Peninsula.
Crittenden is a family-owned winery on the Mornington Peninsula, where wine, food and accommodation come together in one place. Set around a vineyard lake in Dromana, our Lakeside Villas offer a unique opportunity to stay on a working winery, just moments from the region’s best food and coastal experiences.
Established by the Crittenden family, the property has been shaped over decades with a focus on cool-climate wines, sustainable vineyard practices and a genuine connection to place. Today, guests can experience the full offering, from relaxed tastings at the Cellar Door to long lunches at Crittenden Restaurant, all within walking distance of the villas.
Crittenden is one of the few places on the Mornington Peninsula where you can stay on a winery with an on-site restaurant and cellar door.
