PICNICS AT MONTALTO

Every private picnic begins with a bespoke wine tasting in our Cellar Door. Our highly trained, friendly staff will help you select the perfect wine for your picnic, based on your personal preferences and the generous, seasonal menu showcasing our estate-grown heirloom produce, alongside the very best locally sourced ingredients from across the Mornington Peninsula.

With wine and a detailed map in hand, you’ll gently make your way to your covered, private picnic site where you’ll find your table beautifully set with white linen, tableware and glassware. Enjoy a glass of wine in the sunshine before settling in for lunch.

A selection of stunning starters will be ready for you to enjoy upon your arrival to your picnic site. Magnificent main courses and decadent desserts will be personally delivered by our dedicated Picnic Patrol team.

Need more wine? You can radio our Picnic Patrol anytime and we’ll come straight out with whatever you need. We’re at your service.

When the day is done, wander through The Sculpture Trail before heading back to The Piazza for one last glass of wine looking out across the estate before you go. Don’t forget to pop your head into The Cellar Door to pick up a bottle of your favourite wine to enjoy at home.
