Since 2003, Cellar & Pantry has been the local grocer, café, and community hub in Red Hill. More than just a store, it’s where great friends, food, wine, and experiences come together right in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula. Located across the Red Hill playground and trails, it’s a welcoming stop for locals and visitors alike.
A True Red Hill Institution
From its early beginnings, Cellar & Pantry Red Hill set out to showcase the incredible flavours and craftsmanship of the Mornington Peninsula. Stocking over 700 handpicked local products, and swelling to around 800 at the height of the season, the store draws from more than 100 regional suppliers. Fresh produce, artisanal cheese, smallgoods, charcuterie, wine, beer, cider, and spirits – if it’s made with passion on the Peninsula, you’ll likely find it here.
Although the shelves also feature specialty products from further afield and a few international imports, the spirit of the business has always been to highlight what’s close to home. This focus on community and provenance is why Cellar & Pantry has become a Mornington Peninsula icon.
A Grocer, Deli, and Café in One
Step inside and you’ll quickly see it’s not just a shop, it’s an experience. As a Red Hill deli and wine destination, Cellar & Pantry carries everything from gourmet provisions to charcuterie boards, freshly baked breads, and fine cheeses. The café side makes it just as much a meeting place as a grocer.
You can grab your morning coffee before a walk, relax on the deck with friends over lunch, or enjoy a casual 5pm happy hour with wine & beer, or cocktails. The atmosphere is low-key and unassuming, but always buzzing with energy! You’ll likely see cyclists stopping by, families gathering after a playground visit, or locals catching up after work.
The Cellar: A Wine Store for Every Occasion
The Cellar & Pantry wine store is another reason people make the trip to Red Hill. It’s a carefully curated collection that celebrates the Peninsula’s world-class cool-climate wines. From pinot noir and chardonnay to sparkling and rosé, each bottle reflects the region’s distinctive terroir.
The shelves also feature standout Australian wines, whiskey, gin, and craft beer, perfect for stocking up at home or planning a special occasion. And with a knowledgeable team ready to help, finding the right match for your meal, event, or picnic is always a pleasure.
More Than a Business: A Community Space
At the heart of Cellar & Pantry is people. For more than 20 years, it has been a space where locals gather, friendships form, and community thrives. Families grab takeaway platters for picnics, kids enjoy a play while parents sip coffee in the sun, and visitors discover the warm hospitality that Red Hill is known for.
The staff are just as much a part of that story. Quirky, friendly, and passionate about good food and wine, they embody the relaxed Peninsula vibe while delivering personal, attentive service that customers love. Whether it’s remembering a regular’s coffee order or recommending a new local product to try, it’s that genuine connection that makes Cellar & Pantry special.
Where Locals Meet, and Visitors Feel at Home
Beyond the groceries, the deli, and the café, Cellar & Pantry is about lifestyle. It’s about celebrating the good things: food, drink, friends, and fresh air. It’s about kids laughing in the park while parents relax with a glass of local wine. It’s about long afternoons on the deck surrounded by happy people.
And it’s about being part of something bigger: the fabric of Red Hill and the Mornington Peninsula community.
For anyone looking to experience the true flavour of the Peninsula, Cellar & Pantry is the ideal destination. From everyday essentials and Mornington Peninsula produce to gourmet deli platters and boutique wines, it has everything you need, shared with heart since 2003.
