DINE IN THE PIAZZA OVERLOOKING WENDY'S GARDEN
Montalto is all about sharing: food, wine and good times with loved ones; connecting with each other and to the surrounding environment. The Piazza is an outdoor dining experience where you can sit overlooking Wendy’s Garden and likely see chefs picking produce, herbs and flowers for the day’s menus.
From early beginnings of a few small garden beds planted by Wendy Mitchell, our kitchen garden is one of the oldest in Victoria and has grown to become of the largest operations in Australia. Now at three acres, and managed by our Produce Manager Julie Bennett, the installation of 100m2 of polytunnels allows delicate crops to flourish over the cooler months and brings another dynamic to year-round production.
