cups estate

fantastic food with a wonderful view. could not pick a favourite savoury as they were all amazing. we had 3 kids there under 3 who were generally well behaved apart from some noise from the 7 month old however we were treated wonderfully without being rushed.

the food is always fantastic, the staff are always delightful, and the wine tops off this amazing restaurant! the pork belly is a winner and the donuts for dessert are the best donuts you will get! can't wait to go back there!

amazing food and wine. lovely atmosphere, was busy but was still very enjoyable. views are lovely and the staff friendly. will definitely be back.

this is one of our favorite places to come in the morning ton peninsula area. every dish we've had, our 15th visit, has been fantastic. the prawns, calamari, pork and chicken are fresh and all are great dishes. the wine is the perfect compliment

amazing experience. was just looking for a bite to eat after a bush walk at cape shank and stumbled across this beauty. started with some wine tasting and ended up eating and drinking the whole menu. considering we tried everything you expect a few misses. however this was hit after hit. sitting outside in the sun having a ball. as i said an amazing experience. do it.

incredible food with an incredible view. we went on a cold day so didn't get to sit outside but the winery was still beautiful from inside. the tapas were delicious, we had the cheese platter, aranchini balls, prawns and soft shell crab burgers. highly recommend!

if you're looking for something a little different to the average winery then it's worth checking out the cups estate down in the mornington peninsula. the food is european inspired tapas and shared style plates.

the restaurant itself is fairly small so i recommend booking in advance. it is set in a round building with tall glass windows and the dining tables are scattered right around the circular building, giving you views of the lovely estate all around. right in the centre of the restaurant you can do some wine tasting before choosing the bottle of wine to have with your lunch.

we ordered the charcuterie board to start off with which included a selection of cured meats, terrine, pate, chicken rillette, pickles, olives, relish and bread. it was a great board and had good selection of cured meats.

we also ordered the seared yellow fin tuna with remoulade, avocado and sumac,the spicy chicken ribs and the beef carpaccio which i absolutely loved. the beef was super soft and the flavour was enhanced with the truffle oil and mustard aoili. the pork belly sliders were also very nice and had the crispy skin you expect from the pork belly with the brioche bun.

one of my favourite dishes however was the scallops which came with bits of blood sausages and apple in this lovely creamy buttery sauce. all the flavours went so well together. the spanish prawns were also a highlight and they came in a garlic, chilli and paprika sauce. we kept dipping the leftover bread in the sauce because it was so good.

being at a winery we of course had to get a cheese board too so we ended up ordering all three cheeses on the menu: a blue, a brie and a semi-hard cheese with quince paste and fruit. the blue cheese which was from france was exceptional. our friends also ordered the sicilian donuts which came with vanilla icecream and strawberries.

we enjoyed all of this food with a bottle of their 2013 pinot noir and their 2011 syrah, both really good wines. their 2012 sparkling shiraz was also very nice and great on a warm day.

overall their service was also quite good, the food came out fairly quickly and they were very accommodating. worth checking out!

fantastic tapas food. beautiful views. attentative staff, great music on sunday arvo and scrummy wines to match it all.
a hidden gem of peninsula.

for a stunning view and building, truly appalling service and staff attitude. went in for wine, coffee and nibbles, were greeted with rude remarks and complete lack of decent waitering service. staff forgot about our order and consistently walked away during our wine tasting. won't return.

was the with a group and had the estate set menu for $60 a head and the food was great but the quantity was ridiculous. each person got only 1 thing of each of the menu for example 1 oyster and 1 taco etc and everyone at the table was still starving. they really need to stop being so stingy and increase the portions and until then i won't be back.


went back here in 2019 winters and the food was incredible... still very very expensive but a really great place.

nice restaurant with a great atmosphere.  the service was great and very attentive.  we enjoyed the charcuterie board and ordered the beetroot salad which was extremely tasty.   i was expecting a wider selection of wine but was only shown a handful amount.  however, my overall experience was great, i will definitely come back again.

a small modern design restaurant. is beautiful. great atmosphere. every table consist a beautiful vineyard view. the foods are great. lovely taste! but the service wasn't bad.

so enjoying our meals at an outdoor table in a lovely setting on a warm sunday afternoon after horseback winery tour and before mineral pools. each and every dish (we shared 4) is just delish.

circular restaurant perched on the hill amongst olive trees overlooking the vineyard. such an unexpected find! the restaurant is tiny and very simple, however it has a very strong following with an excellent reputation so book in advance. walk ups are not catered for due to the size and excellent service.

tapas style food, however the antipasto platter is mouth watering along with the wine. delicious!!!

the cups estate in fingal is one of the lesser-known yet amazing wineries of the mornington peninsula, vic. just a two minute drive from the peninsula hot springs and a seven minute drive to the foreshore of rye, this small olive grove and winery is a spectacular addition to any day out. the cellar door is open for wine tasting daily, as well as an exclusive dining experience for lunch between thursday-sunday overlooking the olive groves and grape vines.*
