About The Owner of Plunge Wine Tours

A private Mornington Peninsula wine tour sees a group of wine lovers enjoy giant crayfish on Balnarring Beach.

Arthur O’Bryan offers private Mornington Peninsula wine tours from the perspective of a local wine industry professional with over twenty-five years experience.

From 1997 to 2015, Arthur enjoyed a marketing career organising wine events such as the Pinot South Roadshow, wine workshops and dinners and the annual Stonier International Pinot Noir Tasting where over three-hundred guests gathered in Melbourne, Sydney, and London to learn more about the heartbreak grape.

For a decade he was Global Brand Manager at Stonier Wines before he began writing about the Mornington Peninsula’s wine scene. His two books about Elgee Park Vineyard were commissioned by Baillieu Myer AC with a foreword by James Halliday AM, Australia’s leading wine authority.

Arthur created Plunge Wine Tours specifically for wine lovers; from the casual wine drinker to the seasoned enthusiast.  Each tour is designed to be fun, educational and inclusive. Arthur is a passionate advocate for the region and continues to search for the richness and textural wealth of great Mornington Peninsula wine.
