RED HILL

Lifestyle

Welcome to wine country! Named after the rich red soil that coloured the region, Red Hill is famed for its award-winning vineyards, dramatic surf beaches, and beautiful sandy bay beaches.

Red Hill is a mecca for delicious dining where locals enjoy the finest in Victoria’s local food and drink scene. Indulge in a mouthwatering slice of wine bread at Red Hill Bakery, go truffle hunting at Red Hill Truffles before being blown away by the farm-to-table food at Tedesca.

If wine is your love language, you’re in for a treat. The region boasts around 50 wineries and produces 200 premium wines from the area. Residents and visitors often partake in wine tastings and leisurely strolls through the picturesque vineyards, creating a delightful balance of relaxation and indulgence.

Red Hills’ coastline is nothing short of spectacular, and with over 40-kilometres of surf beaches, everyone from beginner to experienced surfers can take advantage of this glorious stretch of ocean. Locals make the most of the stunning coastal walks, which showcase the dazzling views of Phillip Island, dramatic clifftops, and, if you’re lucky, koalas, kookaburras, and king parrots.

With a population of just 1,009, Red Hill is the perfect place to live for those seeking a more subdued yet sophisticated lifestyle. The town attracts a mix of residents, from young families to retirees. Property options are equally as appealing, with tree-lined streets, large lots, and classic timber homes and cottages on the market.

The community is close and bands together at regular events, like the famous Red Hill Community Market, which is held on the first Saturday of the month from September until May. Expect to find one-of-a-kind products and crafts made by emerging artists and taste mouthwatering local foods.

In terms of schools, Red Hill Consolidated School caters from Foundation through to year six, and it’s close to other respected institutions like Toorak College, a private co-ed primary and high school, and Peninsula Grammar, a co-ed private high school. 

If you’re a foodie and a nature lover, then Red Hill will not disappoint. Life here unfolds slower, fostering a sense of community, connection, and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty surrounding this enchanting pocket on the Mornington Peninsula.
