Amour Of The Grape Tours – the Peninsula’s number one ranked small group tour operator on Trip Advisor – offers return transport to picnic races at Balnarring and top class racing at our premier venue Mornington, which is now part of the Melbourne Racing Club.
This is a great way to get to and from the races to be able to enjoy the festivities of the day without the need or stress of driving or trying to find a non-existent taxi.
And with Balnarring races also being BYO we have plenty of room in our vehicle for your food and drinks and your deck chairs to ensure you can relax in style.
And who knows, being a former sportswriter, we may even be able to tip you a winner or two.
*Pick-ups available for groups of two to 11 from the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston Railway Station, southern and eastern suburbs and Melbourne CBD. Prices start at $50 per person depending on group size and pick-up location.
