Sunny Ridge Strawberries in Main Ridge on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula is currently the largest strawberry producer in Australia, Sunny Ridge now spans 250 acres of land with properties in Main Ridge and Boneo. The property now grows strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries, and avocados.

Sunny Ridge's famous strawberries are sold all over Australia and have been exported to Singapore, Malaysia, the USA and Europe. They have been a feature at the Australian Motor Grand Prix and were even requested by the Queen!

Pick Your Own strawberries officially started at Sunny Ridge in the 1980's. Eventually the concept became so popular that a tourist facility including café was built in 1997.

It is now a major regional Victoria tourist attraction with annual visitation of over 300 000. Travelers come from all over the globe to taste the sweet strawberries with Singapore being the most enthusiastic international market. There is also strong interest from Malaysia, Hong Kong, China and the USA.

Apart from being Australia's largest strawberry producer, Sunny Ridge has also been winning acclaim for their valued added product range, and most notably their fruit wines and liqueurs. Due to its location within the beautiful hinterland of Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, area renowned for its world class vineyards, Sunny Ridge has introduced a twist to the tradition of wine making.

All handcrafted on the Main Ridge property, Sunny Ridge's alcoholic products have won numerous awards within the Australian fruit wine industry, helped by a 2006 Australian Federal Government grant enabling the expansion of wine production capabilities and allowing for a push into national distribution and export.

The intense and complex flavours of Sunny Ridge's boutique wines are a result of their real strawberry content. Each batch will contain up to four strawberry varieties chosen for the characteristics, colours, aromas and flavours they will add to the final product.
