GOLF TRAVEL IN STYLE Prepare for a round at one of Mornington Peninsula’s 19 prestigious golf courses, making the most of an optimal natural landscape that boasts eight of Australia’s top fifty courses. Only a short trip from Melbourne the peninsula is the perfect destination for a weekend golf break. But you also can extend your golf vacation to a week or more. For that our golf package includes a lot of challenging championship courses. The Mornington Peninsula has been creating a rich cultural and artistic history since the first European settlement was established near Sorrento in 1803. Victoria’s second lightstation was built at Cape Schanck in 1859 – it still boasts its original beacon into the night and leads you safe home.
Thanks Localist for the free VIP tickets. We went to the 5.30pm session and sampled some very fine food & drink. Got a few tasty treats to bring home as well. Particularly liked the Europeans meats (we bought a few of those), and the many different types of infused olive oils. Add the divine piquant dukkah we got and lunch the next day was sublime. A well run event well worth the visit.
I won 2 passes to the event through Localist. My boyfriend and I had a brilliant time! We checked in with the Localist Kombi van and were given our VIP passes, bags and a free t-shirt. From there we headed over to the Audi VIP room for our free glass of bubbly and straight back out again to see Gary Rhodes. There was a great assortment of food and drink available, some of which I recognised from Oratia's Farmers Market. We spent $100 at the event and came home with all sorts of fabulous goodies; Manuka Gold, Manuka Smoked Salt, Wild Pork Sausages, Ginger Crunch, Peanut Butter and of course the obligatory wine glasses. I was most upset that mine said Carlton Events rather than Taste of NZ but you can't always have everything :) We ended our evening watching Rick Stein with a glass of Matua Savvy. We will definitely be back next year.

We checked in to the event via the iPhone app and it said show this to the Localist team for a free Tee so I don't know if it was a free for all or an incentive to get users to download the app?
They didn't have any womens tops so they gave me a medium mens which I have passed onto a friend (I'm only 5ft tall and a size 10!) but they had a large mens which was perfect for Tim.

Yeah me too - checked in and got the medium which did not fit, but gave it to a friend.... all sorted! Great day out though.
