rich fertile soil, the Mornington Peninsula is a food and wine lover’s
paradise.We invite you to experience the local flavours from two iconic

10.30am Montalto | Estate to Plate
The estate to plate philosophy underpins everything they do at Montalto. With
this experience you’re invited to immerse yourself in this philosophy. Your
private 4-hour journey begins with a personal tour of the kitchen gardens –
some of the oldest and largest in Victoria followed by a bespoke wine tasting
in the multi award-winning Cellar Door. The Montalto team will guide you
through the Single Vineyard and Estate wines – a stunning exploration of their
cool climate vineyards.
Following your tasting, it’s time for lunch in The Restaurant. Enjoy an ever-
changing set menu showcasing a seasonal celebration of the estate-grown
heirloom produce, alongside the very best locally sourced ingredients from
across the Mornington Peninsula. A true estate to plate experience overlooking
the very gardens and vineyards you toured earlier in the day.
After lunch, we invite you to explore the Montalto Sculpture Trail. Sculpture
is an integral part of life at Montalto and a highlight of any visit to the
estate. The 1km Sculpture Trail winds through their vines, along wooden
boardwalks and through the wetlands and affords spectacular views of both the
sculptures and the property along the way. Many of the permanent sculptures
were winners of the Montalto Sculpture Prize – among the most valuable private
sculpture prizes in Australia.
