Why Summer Socials is trending for Peninsula locals and visitors
Because it ticks three “summer on the Peninsula” boxes in one hit:
-
It’s easy. You don’t need a full day itinerary — just show up Sunday afternoon and settle in.
-
It’s a “group-friendly” plan. Couples, friends, family visiting from Melbourne — it’s a simple yes.
-
It’s the Peninsula’s signature combo: music + wine + views (without overthinking it).
What to expect on the day
Music
Summer Socials is built around a curated DJ series across summer, with different artists/dates so each session has its own energy.
For 22 Feb 2026, the listing confirms Eric Powell.
Food + drinks
Pt. Leo Estate promotes the sessions as paired with their food and drinks while you enjoy the setting on the lawns.
Setting
The Mornington Peninsula Shire event page describes it as being held on the lawns by the Wine Terrace, with that vineyard/coastline outlook and sunset atmosphere.
Local planning tips
1) Book/plan transport early
If you’re heading to a winery-style event and having a drink, sort your transport first (designated driver, taxi/rideshare where available, or a planned pick-up). It’s the difference between “easy day” and “logistics headache”.
2) Dress for sun and breeze
Merricks can be warm in the afternoon and cooler later — go light layers, hat, sunscreen. If you’re staying into sunset, you’ll be glad you brought something extra.
3) Aim to arrive close to the start
This one runs 2pm–8pm. Arriving earlier helps you settle in, grab food/drinks, and claim a comfortable spot.
4) Make it a weekend
If you’ve got visitors or you’re doing the Peninsula as a mini-break, build around it with:
-
a beach walk in the morning
-
a late lunch nearby
-
Summer Socials in the afternoon
