Introduction:

Red Hill is located inland on the Mornington Peninsula, between the coastal towns of Dromana and Balnarring.

Red Hill is very much a rural area, with the landscape consisting of scenic hills and native forests. Scattered throughout the area is a proliferation of vineyards, orchards and berry farms. Many of the vineyards are boutique wineries, offering visitors the opportunity to experience fine dining, wine tasting and the purchase of local produce of the region. Most of the wineries also feature attractive gardens, free for visitors to wander through or have a picnic within. One of the most scenic wineries is the Red Hill Estate, perched on the side of a hill, with the vines giving way to a stunning backdrop of the waters of Western Port.

The commercial centre of Red Hill is spread along four distinct spots on Arthurs Seat Road, Flinders Road and Shoreham Road, featuring a variety of eateries and services. Tucked away along roads and shady laneways around Red Hill, visitors will also find several galleries and cafes.

Red Hill is a major centre on the Mornington Peninsula for entertainment events. The Red Hill Show is an agriculturally themed event attracting thousands of visitors, while the Red Hill Country Music Festival showcases the talents of many local performers.
