PRIVATE PICNICS 7 DAYS, 11 AM - 5 PM Winter Picnics PICNICS GIFT ENQUIRE NOW RESERVE NOW

PICNICS

Since 2002, we’ve invited guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of our estate at a collection of secluded picnic sites – all of which have been specifically chosen for their unique and stunning locations.

Every private picnic begins with a bespoke wine tasting in our Cellar Door. Our trained staff will help you select the perfect wine for your picnic, based on your personal preferences and the generous, seasonal menu featuring personally delivered hot main courses to really warm you up on those chilly mid-winter days.

BEYOND THE CELLAR DOOR

At Montalto, we want to offer you an experience to remember, a moment out of the ordinary. We want to take you beyond the cellar door, to share our story with you and connect you to the source of what we do, here in the beautiful region Mornington Peninsula.

Join us for a trip down the dirt roads and behind the locked gates, or a guided exploration of our 75-acre estate in Red Hill.
