This is my favourite spot for a long lunch. The menu has not changed for years but there is a great reason why! Make sure you either go early (before 12pm) to get a table or later (after 2pm) as it gets very busy on weekends and holidays.

This is such a beautiful winery and is so close to Charlie’s. It is fine dining food but a rather casual setting. One of the best lunches/dinners on the Peninsula.

Sightseeing
This is my absolute favourite walk on the Peninsula. Park on Lentell Ave, Sorento and go through the gate on the left at the end with the big yellow sign on it.

Another favourite walk. This is the most beautiful country side. Don’t do this walk if it has been raining though - can be very muddy!

I highly recommend a walk on the local Tootgarook beach near Charlie’s. Simply cross the road at the traffic lights at the bottom of Carmichael St and you are there!
