Mornington’s The Winey Cow is one of three Peninsula restaurants to have taken top honours at the 2023 Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence for Victoria and Tasmania. It won the Breakfast Restaurant category, with Samphire at RACV Cape Schanck Resort picking up Contemporary Australian Restaurant – Informal, and Cape Restaurant at RACV Cape Schanck Resort taking out the Premium Dining category.
The Winey Cow owner Campbell Henderson said: “This win is a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication over some of the worst years the hospitality industry has seen. We truly couldn’t be prouder.” General manager Rui Lourenco said: “It is the product of true dedication and the talent of so many individuals; we couldn’t have done it without our amazing staff or our loyal customers. Brunch is a huge part of Victorian culture, where people can dine in and connect with their loved ones over a delicious meal. To be praised as the best breakfast restaurant where we can facilitate that for people is the reason why we do what we do.”
