Montalto is a family-run winery and restaurant set on a 50-acre property in Red Hill South, founded by John and Wendy Mitchell as what began as a retirement project before growing into a Mornington Peninsula landmark. The estate includes 30 acres of vines on site, with the family managing a further six vineyards leased across the Peninsula, all overseen by an award-winning winemaking team led by Simon Black producing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties across three labels. The Restaurant, open for lunch Friday to Monday, presents an ever-changing set menu built around estate-grown heirloom produce and locally sourced Peninsula ingredients, designed to share across a series of courses. A more casual dining option, The Piazza, sits among the gardens overlooking the vines and sculptures, while a dedicated cellar door offers wine tasting seven days a week. Montalto's grounds include an olive grove and a kilometre-long Sculpture Trail winding through vines, wetlands and boardwalks, featuring works from the Montalto Sculpture Prize, one of Australia's most valuable private art prizes. Eleven secret picnic spots across the property can also be booked for a fully catered picnic experience. With its combination of fine dining, wine, art and landscape, Montalto is considered one of the Mornington Peninsula's premier destinations for a half-day or full-day visit.
