Valentine’s Day, celebrated on the 14th of February each year, is a day to cherish the loved ones in your life. Although we typically think of Valentine’s Day as a celebration of romantic love, there are many countries around the world like Finland and Estonia who use Valentine’s Day to acknowledge the value of friendships and familial love. So whether you’ll be spending this Valentine’s Day with your significant other or with friends and family, here’s a list of amazing things to do on the Mornington Peninsula that will make your Valentine’s Day a lovely, memorable and COVIDSafe experience.
1. Take a Romantic Walk on the Mornington Peninsula
There are a variety of amazing walking tracks on the Mornington Peninsula that give you the opportunity to explore the beaches, bushes and towns of the Peninsula. We have written a whole blog post about which includes information such as how long each walk takes and where to stop for coffee. Spending a couple of hours exploring the many walking tracks at our doorstep is the perfect way to spend quality, one-on-one time with your partner this Valentine’s Day. Make it even more romantic by going in the evening and watching the sun set along the coast!
2. Enjoy a Valentine's Day Picnic for Two
Is there anything more romantic than sitting in a lovely spot outside, sharing a delicious picnic and enjoying the beautiful afternoon sun with your loved one? We think that picnics are about as romantic as you can get, so grab a blanket, pack a picnic and find a nice spot to enjoy a lovely Valentine’s Day picnic. If you’re looking for the romantic picnic experience without all of the hassle, we’ve got you covered! Our Farm Picnic for 2 includes everything you need to enjoy a romantic picnic with your loved one - from the rug, cutlery and glasses to the delicious farm produce and wine.

3. Take In the Amazing Views of the Peninsula on the Arthur's Seat Eagle
Board a state-of-the-art gondola at the Arthurs Seat Eagle and fly over the state forest to the highest point of the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. The views over the bay are spectacular and the whole ride is a great opportunity to witness the beauty of the Peninsula with that special someone on Valentine’s Day. There are a variety of packages available such as the Private Gondola for Two which includes sparkling wine and a grazing platter to enjoy while on the Eagle, but you can also make a day of it and enjoy a food and wine lunch at the farm before heading off for your Eagle adventure.
4. Enjoy Valentine's Day with the Kids
Since Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday, we know that there will be a lot of parents out there who will need to bring the kids along on their Valentine’s Day adventure. The Enchanted Maze Garden, Point Leo Estate Sculpture Park and the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park are all attractions that suit both the kids and the adults. The adults can enjoy the beautiful surroundings of all three venues and the kids have the space to run around, explore and play. Both sculpture parks have food available on site, or you can take a short trip up to the farm and indulge in grazing style food and wine (including yummy meals for kids!)
5. Share a Romantic Food and Wine Lunch
Spend Valentine’s Day admiring the view of the vineyard, the kitchen garden and the ducks on the dam whilst sharing a selection of seasonal farm grown grazing plates with your loved one. It will certainly be Valentine’s Day to remember! Our Farmer’s Lunch is a romantic farm experience that includes two glasses of estate grown wine, two Grazing Plates to share, two dessert and tea or coffee.
