Shoreham VIC 3916

Pier 10 is located in Shoreham on Victoria's picturesque Mornington Peninsula. What was originally a weekender became the Pier 10 Vineyard in 1996 with plantings of 4 acres of Pinot Noir, 1 ½ acres of Pinot Gris and 2 ½ acres of Chardonnay. The weekender soon became full time weekend work with training the vines, leak plucking and all the work required to maintain a new young vineyard.
Both Eric & Sue had full time positions in the city, Eric being a very sucessful businessman with his own art and picture framing business of 30 years and Sue in the corporate world of Police Headquarters.
The vision was to create a beautiful lifestyle on the gorgeous Mornington Peninsula while also imagining a very relaxing retirement.
Pier 10 is a small family owned and run vineyard, restaurant and cellar door.
Eric's son Stuart who has worked in fine dining in the city now works in the restaurant, Eric's youger son Scott is a builder and has come in very handy during the building and renovations. Sue's sons Paul & Jordan have also been regular faces on the restaurant floor and cellar door. All boys have pitched in during vintages.
Now it is a very busy, fully licensed restaurant with a strong following of locals who enjoy a sumptuous menu, a very extensive range of cool climate wines and the entertainment of a large stable of local musicians.
The quiet weekender is now keeping everyone busy with its own winery on site, restauarant and cellar door always buzzing with activity.
The annual production is approximately 2000 cases of wine per year which is mostly sold through the cellar door, restaurant and online sales.
