Private Picnic

Since 2002, Montalto has invited guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the estate at a collection of secluded picnic sites, each chosen for its unique and stunning location.

Every private picnic begins with a bespoke wine tasting in the Cellar Door, where the friendly team will help you select the perfect wine to match your preferences and the generous seasonal menu. The menu showcases the estate grown heirloom produce alongside the best locally sourced ingredients from across the Mornington Peninsula.

With wine and a detailed map in hand, you’ll make your way to your covered, private picnic site, where your table is set with white linen, tableware and glassware.

Enjoy a glass of wine in the sunshine while a selection of starters awaits on arrival. Main courses and desserts are then delivered to your table by Montalto's dedicated Picnic Patrol team. If you need more wine, simply radio the Picnic Patrol and they’ll come straight out to you.

When the day is done, wander The Sculpture Trail, then return to The Piazza for one last glass of wine looking out across the estate.

Before you leave, call into The Cellar Door to pick up a bottle of your favourite wine to enjoy at home.
