The Cups Estate

This place caters well to dietaries. I had the vegan set menu and needed to have it nut free too and it was no problem for them (just let them know in advance). Service was prompt and attentive, food and wine delicious. Left satisfied and just the right amount of full.

Thank you to Andy for making our weekend! You were so attentive and friendly. We have had such a great afternoon of food and wine. Could not recommend more!

We loved the set menu, quick service and the staff were absolutely lovely. Ill be recommending them to everyone.

Every mouthful was delicious. The service exceptional, Waiters friendly and happy to answer any questions. Highly recommend a visit.

First time visiting the Cups Estate and experiencing their degustation lunch… it was phenomenal! Each dish was perfection.bursting with flavors, each bite was an experience on its own! We had a mini wine tasting to see which wines we wanted to accompany with lunch and our picks were the Pinot Rose, Pinot Noir and Merlot.our waiter Andy had great knowledge of the food and winery which made the dining experience even better.definitely a place not to miss on your visit to the Mornington Peninsula.

We had a great visit to The Cups Estate. Hadn't been here for a few years and everything was still as good as we'd remembered. The wait staff were friendly, professional and really welcoming of our big table which included kids. The food and wine were amazing. Good ambience too. Thanks again.

Went there a couple of months ago. Sunday lunch, beautiful an easy set menu. Beautiful wines and great outlook.

One of my fav winery of the Morpen

Quite possibly the best meal i have eaten this year - every mouthful was a flavour bomb - the service was 5 star our waiter andy was so attentive and we had lunch on a monday so wasn't too crowded at all highly recommend and we will be back in the summer time to enjoy the new seasonal menu!

Visited the cups today with my family, all of us were so happy with our meals and service! We will definitely come back again? Also the winery doggo Izzy is such a cutie. She was the highlight of my day

Rudest staff I’ve ever encountered. We were looked down on, people served before us. We were told there was only bottle service when others were being sold glasses. Would not recommend going here, we were made feel so unwelcome.

Definitely a Must Visit winery on the peninsula. Delicious food and wine and very friendly, helpful staff. Has been a perfect visit every time we have been here.

I was very disappointed by my experience. The servers were professional and friendly and food was tasty. However the wait times were extremely long. For a place that serves everyone the same set menu, it took us more than 2 hours to get our final mains. The serving sizes were quite small, and despite spending $80 per person, I left feeling hungry. The serving choices were often odd: the two of us were served three pieces of fish (so we had to cut one in half) ; in another instance the main vegetables had one carrot (not only a stingy serving but also impractical for what is designed to be a sharing menu). Lastly, the $15 cheesecake dessert was extremely salty (!?) to the point I didn't finish it despite still being hungry

If Mornington Peninsula is a golfing paradise, then The Cups Estate is the Promised Land. Overlooking Moonah Links, it’s only a short pitch away from all the great MP courses and a much better way to finish 18 that the clubhouse! The tapas is magnificent and has recently stepped up another notch from what was already a high benchmark. The Pinot Gris and Merlot, our favourites, accompany the delicious treats superbly, but all their wines are fantastic. When you drop in for a tasting or more, don’t ask Lee about his handicap – he has sacrificed it to bring us this gem of a winery! Thanks Lee and all staff! - Sydney Golf Group

We had lunch at The Cups Vineyard today. What a delight, quite intimate in size but with the expansive views of the vineyard you feel you are part of the broader landscape…. Add that to the amazing menu and wine and you have the perfect afternoon. Thanks guys……. We had a great Mornington Penninsula food and wine experience.

Andy absolutely stepped up to the plate with our wine tasting, super friendly and knowledgeable! Cant wait to come back!

Was here in the weekend, been here before. Great to see it was busy, a lot people having fun.
Service was great! Food was great! View was great! And the merlot was We will be back

The Cups Estate is a multi-award winning, boutique 30-acre vineyard, olive grove and cellar door situated in Fingal on the Mornington Peninsula. The name comes from ‘the cups', the area known for its picturesque and undulating sand dunes.

The Restaurant is open for lunch Friday-Sunday, offering a delicious sharing menu inspired by the family's Sicilian heritage and compliments their wines. I started with a glass of their beautiful Pinot Rose.

The Calamari Taco was actually up there with one of the best tacos I’ve ever had and come to think of it I’ve never had one before! The Caprese Salad and Kingfish dishes were both very refreshing.

Our favourite dish from the menu was the Nduja Crusted Hapuka Fillet which was insane, I’m still drooling over it. A close runner up were the Sicilian Doughnuts paired with White Choc Ganache, Vanilla Icecream and Strawberries.

The weather was perfect the day we visited so we chose to dine on the outdoor tables overlooking the vineyard. I think it needed some music to cut the silence but it was also quite serene. Unsure if it is a common occurrence but all of the tables spent the entire seating swatting away insects so if this bothers you definitely sit inside. You will also most likely meet Izzy, the estate dog who will ask you to throw her ball for her.

It was a stunning meal, which starts at $75pp averages out to around $20 a dish. I believe it is meant to be a light lunch, the dishes were quite small to share so I recommend ordering a few of their additional courses as we did (*).

Food was good, but service was very poor, very noisy. No change of plates or cutlery between courses, in fact they laid our used cutlery back on the table when they cleared the plates. When we asked for it to be changed they had that look when they were about to roll their eyes. For $100 a head, very disappointed.

We had the most wonderful and delicious lunch at the cups estate today. Exceptional service and beautiful food. The chef menu is perfectly balanced and wines are delightful. Cannot recommend highly enough and will be making this a must visit whenever we are at the peninsula

Lovely little restaurant with amazing food and service! It was too cold and windy outside the day we went but we'll be back on a nice day.
