WINTER WINE WEEKEND ON THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA

The King's Birthday long weekend is one of the most anticipated moments on the Mornington Peninsula calendar, and there's no better way to celebrate than with Winter Wine Weekend, hosted by MP Wine. This year, Montalto invites you to experience our most awarded wines in a series of thoughtfully curated experiences, both at the region-wide celebration at the Red Hill Showgrounds and onsite across our estate in Red Hill South.

 

 

Join us on Saturday at the Red Hill Showgrounds for the official Winter Wine Weekend tasting event. With over 40 local wineries pouring their finest, it’s the ultimate way to explore the very best of the Mornington Peninsula in a single afternoon.

Montalto will be showcasing five standout wines that have each been recognised at the highest levels across the country:

· 2017 Cuvée One Sparkling Best Sparkling Wine – 2025 Mornington Peninsula Wine Show

· 2021 Pennon Hill Chardonnay Best Regional Chardonnay – 2022 James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge

· 2022 Pennon Hill Pinot Noir Best Pinot Noir and Red Wine of Show – 2023 Sydney Royal Wine Show

This is a rare opportunity to taste Montalto’s most celebrated wines all in one place, alongside other exceptional producers.
