Phaedrus Estate has been crafting wines on the Mornington Peninsula since 1998, with owners Ewan Campbell and Maïtèna Zantvoort dedicated to making wines that reflect the region’s character. With more than 25 vintages behind them, they continue to focus on creating wines with personality, producing a diverse range including Sparkling, Fiano, Pinot Gris, Fumé Blanc, Chardonnay, Rosé, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz. Each wine is made with a balance of tradition and innovation, showcasing the vineyard’s cool-climate influence.
The estate’s approach to winemaking prioritises expressive, full-flavoured wines that remain true to their varietal characteristics. By combining careful vineyard management with small-batch production, Phaedrus Estate offers a selection of wines that highlight the strengths of the Mornington Peninsula. With a relaxed and welcoming philosophy, the winery continues to evolve while staying true to its original vision.

Alongside tastings, the Cellar Door serves a cheese platter featuring local and international selections, paired with a variety of wines by the glass or bottle.
