Red Hill is a town on the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, approximately 63 km (39 mi) south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the Shire of Mornington Peninsula local government area.
[1] Red Hill is located in the hinterland of the Mornington Peninsula, about an hour's drive south of Melbourne.
The area now known as Red Hill contains land in three parishes: Kangerong, Wannaeue (only 626 acres) and Balnarring.
[3] Patrons can still watch old-time games like Pétanque being played and smell the roasting of chestnuts.
Since the 1970s, wineries have been established around Red Hill to take advantage of the microclimates that suits cool-climate grapes, and especially pinot noir.
