A guided exploration of our 75-acre estate in Red Hill will show you the best of the seasonal cycle at Montalto.
Montalto combines 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.
This is a unique visitor experience during any season of the year. You could taste the grapes around vintage, learn how Montalto grow and make use of seasonal produce or explore the property’s natural wetlands and extensive permanent sculpture collection.
Experience Montalto’s ‘Estate to Plate’ philosophy with a guided walk through the estate kitchen gardens. A passion for seasonal, locally grown produce has seen Montalto kitchen gardens expand to almost four acres in recent years. Explore the expansive gardens and learn how our growers and Montalto kitchen work hand in hand to maximise the natural bounty of the
estate. After the Kitchen Garden walk is a guided, seated tasting, with panoramic views overlooking Montalto’s Red Hill vineyards, featuring Single Vineyard and Estate wines that truly reflect the cool climate location of the vines and of such quality that they are recognised as a “Red Five Star” Halliday rated winery.
Finally, experience Montalto’s estate to plate philosophy in action, with a celebratory multi-course tasting experience with award-winning wines. Montalto dining focuses on produce from the estate and the region is honoured with the menus that are built around it, grab a table 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 an extensive permanent sculpture exhibition.
The perfect gift for any die-hard foodie, the Montalto Estate to Plate Gift Voucher is an experience out of the ordinary.

The
perfect experience for a passionate wine lover: visit Montalto’s winery and
experience our winemaking process with this unique behind the scenes tour,
hosted by our multi-award-winning team.

An
educating and entertaining tour of the winery that will bring to life our
winemaking philosophy, as we explain what we do and why we do it here in the cool-climate of the Mornington Peninsula. Taste our wines straight from the barrel alongside
our winemaker and discuss the important changes taking place over time as the wines
mature and develop. You will taste and come
to understand the differences from vineyard to vineyard as they individually
reflect the winemaking quality and why we are recognised as a “Red Five Star”
Halliday rated winery.

After your ‘Behind the Scenes’ winery experience, we will host you
to a long, leisurely lunch in the stunning surrounds of our casual courtyard
Piazza in Red Hill. Take the time to sit back and relax our 75-acre estate

drinking on the Mornington Peninsula comes together here … Montalto understands
the Peninsula’s strengths and truly shines” After lunch, take your time to
explore the contemporary sculpture collection set amongst natural wetlands, the
produce gardens and vineyards of the estate, home to the famous Montalto
Sculpture Prize, among the most valuable private sculpture prizes in Australia.

A
stunning experience for any wine lover.

Join us for a trip down the dirt roads and behind the locked gates on Montalto’s secret “Grand Cru” touring route. No signs, no
maps, just a guided tour to the hidden Mornington Peninsula vineyards that grow our very best Pinot Noir.


The Montalto Single Vineyard tour begins in the winery, where a member of our award winning winemaking team will guide you
through a barrel tasting of current vintage wines while explaining how each was made.


Then, armed with a selection of Montalto provisions for the journey, it’s time for a picturesque road-trip of Peninsula microclimates.
You’ll experience first-hand the ’sense of place’ that characterises our premium Single Vineyard Pinot Noir range. Visiting
our vineyards at Tuerong, Merricks and Main Ridge, you’ll see the soil, touch the vines and taste the finished wines from each
site.


After gaining a true appreciation for the diversity of each location and its expression in the glass, you’ll head to Montalto restaurant
for a six-course degustation lunch with matched wine while taking in stunning views across the home vineyard. Finally, take
a lasting memory home with you of the vineyards you visited, and the wines you tasted, with a six-bottle collection of our Single
Vineyard wines.
