Visit to Montalto Vineyard and Olive Grove December 2009
The Mornington Peninsula has the lot:
Beautiful bay beaches, orchard covered hills, old fashioned towns with relaxed village atmospheres, cliff top mansions and great vine resturants... Red Hill region!!!

Location of Montalto Vineyard Resturant hmmm what about if i say it's overlooking 1500plus olive trees and 11ha vineyards, no wonder it has awardwinning wines & great olive oil... The resturant it self is beautify presented with French-influenced menu -organic herbs and vegetables from the kitchen garden !!!!
It's also has an appealing cellar and nice cafe that sells small meals that can be enjoyed individually or ordered en masse to share !!!! do not forget to try: Red Hill goats cheese in a twice baked souffle... it's a must !!!
At Montalto resturant they are likely to pour the wine you choose for lunch or they can help you with choice... as for the view well it is one of the best on the peninsula as for food it's great ...
On a way home you can pick seasonal cherries & plums, strawberries&raspberries at the farms, get balsamic-style vinegar, local oils and james for home, for a sweet tooth go to Mornington Peninsula Chocolates ( they are hand made daily)
For me this is a true showopice winery...
Interesting :
The local wine industry only began in the 1970's and today the region has more than 220 vineyards over 920ha with more than 55 cellar door open to the public...
