Foxeys Hangout Wine Company
The Lee brothers experience and instinct for food and wine shows in the Foxeys Hangout winery. The stylish, relaxed cellar door occupies an ultra-smart, airy, wood-panelled room with a wall of glass bringing a vista of pines, eucalypts and a cosy little amphitheatre of vines to the doorstep. Quality wine-bar-type snacks slot well with the very good estate wines, and you can even help make your own sparkling wine. Ralph Kyte-Powell
Family-owned winery Foxeys Hangout grows, makes and sells acclaimed cool-climate wines in the beautiful hills of the Mornington Peninsula, just an hour s drive south of Melbourne.
Winemaker brothers Michael and Tony Lee are former Melbourne restaurateurs who turned their years of love and knowledge of fine wines into a livelihood when they planted the first of their three small Peninsula vineyards.
The brothers personally make the wines and specialise in the Peninsula s flagship varieties, pinot noir and chardonnay, and the region s emerging star, pinot gris.
The Foxeys range also features Peninsula shiraz, including a popular and highly rated sparkling version and a vintage port.
The Foxeys wines have been well received by some of Australia s most respected critics and the range overall is rated at four and a half stars by wine authority James Halliday.
The Foxeys cellar door and kitchen is located at picturesque Red Hill on a historic farming property. Personally staffed by Michael and Tony, it is an intimate but striking architect-designed space with superb valley views over the vineyard.
Tony is also a trained chef and serves wine-bar style snacks from the cellar door s open kitchen, while Michael oversees tastings and runs Foxeys unique customised sparkling bottling sessions.
