Gourmet Delight Adventure

The food was excellent quality and plenty of it. We loved meeting and getting to know the story of each of the vendors. A great way to get to know an area better. Most of the clues were fun and easily solved, great that there was also the added safety net of being able to just reveal the answer (for when you just need to check). We battled the unpredictable autumn weather during our hunt for picnic ingredients, but in the end the weather had the last say. We decided to defer the picnic to dinner back at our accommodation and rediscovered a pub we hadn�t been to since before we were married (25+ years ago). For anyone who gets to the same point as us, we stumbled across the very lovely Tallarida winery on Boneo Road. They had a relaxed and spacious indoor wine shed with open fire and access to tables as an alternative in case of deferral due to bad weather. Only really got one photo before the weather started turning. The warm welcome from each vendor was what kept us going.

A great morning visiting the various businesses

A great morning visiting the various businesses. Everyone at the participating businesses were welcoming and everything went very well. We visited places we had never heard of and we are likely to visit them again. Weather was excellent and clues were interesting.

What a wonderful experience!

What a wonderful experience! Although we have been to the Mornington Peninsula many times before, the places we stopped off at we’d never been to or known of before. The produce/items that we were supplied along the way were excellent and more than enough for two people. The clues provided were simple enough and if you couldn’t work out the answer it was provided readily enough. In comparison to a similar mystery picnic from another company, the food items and locations on Mystery Adventures was way better. Thank you :)
