Latest news: Montalto featured in The Age Good Food Guide 2021

Montalto

Contemporary. A vintage vineyard with stunning grounds that makes the most of peninsula produce.

Four acres of meticulously manicured kitchen gardens interwoven with vines and art is the hit of freshness you need after 2021. Chef Matt Wilkinson ... continues to lend his green thumbed influence to the menu. Armed with a wood-fired oven, and 30 heirloom varieties of tomatoes alone, both the formal restaurant and more casual outdoor piazza are flush with freshly plucked, and grilled or pickled goods braced with all-local extras from mussels and seaweed to cheese.

Come early for the wine tastings, and if the weather permits, take Wilkinson's newly vamped picnic baskets and find a spot in the verdant grounds. (note: bookings essential)
