May on the Mornington Peninsula is pure magic. The vineyards glow with autumn colours, the air is crisp and fresh, and there’s a sense of slowing down to soak up the beauty of the season. It’s the perfect time to celebrate all the incredible mums, those that have and continue to love and care for us, and remain the most special people in our lives.
This Mother’s Day, Montalto is all about bringing people together over beautiful food, award-winning wine, and breathtaking views. Whether it’s a long lunch, a relaxed picnic, or a stunning walk through the estate, we’re here to help you make it a day to remember.
If you’re looking to treat Mum to something truly special, The Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience. Our set menu is a celebration of the season, featuring the freshest estate-grown heirloom produce and the very best ingredients from across the Mornington Peninsula.
From the first bite to the last sip, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. And to make the day even more special, Mum will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of Montalto Sparkling Rosé – a perfect sparkly way to start the day.
Reservations essential.
For those who prefer a more casual setting, The Piazza is all about great food, shared moments, and stunning vineyard views. With an à la carte menu featuring wood-fired favourites and seasonal dishes, it’s the perfect spot to settle in, enjoy a delicious meal, and simply be together.
Bookings are available at 11am, 1pm and 3pm, and they always fill fast – but don’t worry if you miss out, we love welcoming walk-ins too.
There’s nothing quite like an autumn picnic at Montalto. Tucked away in your own private picnic site, you’ll be surrounded by golden vines, rolling hills, and the warmth of an open fire. A beautifully prepared picnic feast awaits, packed with seasonal delights designed to be savoured at a slower pace.
It’s intimate, it’s cosy, and it’s an experience Mum will never forget.
Reservations essential.
Wine always tastes better when it’s shared, and a tasting in The Cellar Door is the perfect way to discover something special together. Explore a selection of our premium cool-climate wines, find a new favourite, and take a bottle (or two) home as a lasting reminder of a beautiful day.
Online reservations available, walk ins always welcome.
For those who love to explore, the Montalto Sculpture Trail is a must. Wander through the vines, wetlands and woodlands, discovering breathtaking sculptures along the way. It’s the perfect way to stretch your legs, take in the fresh autumn air, and capture some beautiful moments together.
The Sculpture Trail is open from 11am – 5pm and is free for all visitors to the estate.
