Hens Party Venues Mornington Peninsula

A Peninsula hens day is usually built around wine. Groups book a long lunch or a tasting at a hinterland cellar door, then finish at a pub or brewpub nearer the bay, often staying the night in a rented house in one of the beach towns.

The list for hens is small so far, with six venues, so it's worth reading every one before you narrow it down. Most will happily take a group of ten to thirty for a set menu and a private or semi-private table.

What a hens booking tends to cost:

• The few venues that list a price run from about $40 to $80 a head, with roughly $50 typical for a set lunch or shared menu
• Wine tastings and matched drinks are usually charged separately from the food
• Ask whether the table or room is private, and how long the group can stay
• Check the venue is happy with sashes, small decorations or a cake

Transport is the part to sort first. The cellar doors are spread out across the hinterland and taxis are scarce, so a booked minibus or coach between stops, and back to your accommodation, keeps the day relaxed and safe.

Send a couple of venues an enquiry with your group size and date to compare menus and timing. There's no fee or commission through Party Hero, so the price you're quoted comes straight from the venue.
