About
Polperro is a 25-acre estate at 150 Red Hill Road on the Mornington Peninsula, where winemaker Sam Coverdale tends eight owned vineyards whose harvest times can differ by up to six weeks despite their proximity — a testament to the site diversity that drives complexity in the single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The farm is certified organic, supplying the on-site restaurant, and the broader Even Keel label draws on cool-climate fruit from Tasmania, Tumbarumba, and Heathcote. Beyond wine, the estate integrates vineyard dining (Wed–Sun), luxury accommodation, yoga, and a fashion boutique into a genuine destination experience.
