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.
