At Montalto, we want to offer you an experience to remember, a moment out of the ordinary. We want to take you beyond the cellar door, to share our story with you and connect you to the source of what we do, here in the beautiful region Mornington Peninsula.

Our Estate to Plate experience is a unique experience during any season of the year. You could taste the grapes around vintage, learn how we grow and make use of our seasonal produce or explore the property’s natural wetlands and extensive permanent sculpture collection.

What to expect

A guided exploration of our 75-acre estate in Red Hill will show you the best of the season here at Montalto. We combine a working vineyard and olive grove, kitchen gardens, fruit orchard and berry plantation with a commitment to the arts and an extensive sculpture collection, home to the famous Montalto Sculpture Prize, among the most valuable private sculpture prizes in Australia.

Experience Montalto’s ‘Estate to Plate’ philosophy with a guided walk with our chef through our estate kitchen gardens. After the Kitchen Garden walk is a guided, seated tasting, with panoramic views overlooking our Red Hill vineyards, featuring Single Vineyard and Estate wines that truly reflect the cool climate location of the vines and of such quality that we are recognised as a “Red Five Star” Halliday rated winery.

Finally, a stunning celebratory multi-course tasting experience with award-winning wines overlooking the breathtaking views – either in the stylish, covered courtyard or amongst the lush kitchen gardens. After lunch, you are welcome to continue your exploration of the property, with a self-guided tour of the estate’s natural wetlands and extensive permanent sculpture exhibition.
