As the festive season approaches, we’re excited to host unforgettable Christmas celebrations. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering for 20 or a grand celebration for 130, we offer avariety of dining options to suit every festive occasion.
Montalto has earned numerous accolades over the years, including annual features in The Age Good Food Guide - picking up our 20th Good Food Hat this year. The secret to our success lies in our ever-changing seasonal menus, inspired by our 4-acre kitchen garden, which provides year-round heirloom produce alongside the very best locally sourced ingredients from across the Mornington Peninsula. The result is a culinary experience that is as unique as it is delicious, perfectly complemented by our award-winning wines.
The Restaurant at Montalto, refreshed in 2022 by Williams Boag Architects, exudes relaxed elegance. Raw timber floors and hand-carved tables by local artisans create a spectacular setting for any celebration. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer an iconic view of the vines, estate gardens, and sculptures. As the sun sets, the textural features of the space create a feeling of timeless warmth and sophistication, making it the perfect venue for your winery Christmas function.
For a more intimate gathering, our Private Dining Room offers the same breathtaking views as the main dining room. This bespoke space also includes a private deck overlooking the vines, making for a perfect spot for pre or post-dinner drinks.
For a more relaxed dining style, The Piazza offers alfresco dining experiences for larger groups. The top section of The Piazza is a semi-private area, yours to enjoy for lunch or dinner.
Our signature shared set menu takes the stress out of catering for a group. Featuring three roving canapés, followed by ten dishes over four courses, the menu is carefully curated by our skilful kitchen team using our seasonal, estate-grown produce along with locally sourced ingredients from across the Peninsula. Complement your meal with our perfect selection of wines, from Pennon Hill, through to our Single Vineyards.
We offer a range of packages to enhance your experience, exclusive to events booked at Montalto.
This festive season, treat your loved ones to a well-deserved day out on the Peninsula. Secure your reservation for a joyous Christmas experience with Montalto in Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula and create unforgettable memories.
