Main Ridge Dairy

MORNINGTON PENINSULA

Nestled amongst the rolling hills of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, Main Ridge Dairy offers visitors a distinctly Australian farm experience with a refined culinary edge. Just over an hour from Melbourne, this working farm and goat dairy invites guests to slow down, savour, and connect with the land.

Home to a large herd lovingly cared-for Saanen and Toggenburg goats, the farm is built on a philosophy of gentle handling, sustainable regenerative farming, and respect for nature. Here, everything begins with the soil, healthy land nurtures healthy animals, producing exceptional milk that is transformed into sophisticated, award-winning cheeses.

At Billies, the on-site cheese cellar, indulge in a true paddock-to-plate journey and dining experience. Enjoy thoughtfully crafted dishes that showcase the dairy’s cheese, from grazing boards to seasonal plates. Pair with local wines, craft beverages, or barista-made coffee, all while overlooking paddocks and native Australian bushland.

Beyond the table, guests can meet the friendly goats along the fences, and take in the natural beauty, where birdlife thrives.

Proudly Australian family-owned, Main Ridge Dairy has been a pioneer of goat cheese since 2001, offering an authentic, memorable experience taste of regional Australia.
