Montalto Winery offers a delightful escape for both wine enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. For a modest fee of $15, guests can indulge in a wine tasting experience that impresses with its quality and variety, making it a standout option for those looking to savor the local vineyard offerings. While the piazza food is reasonably priced and generally satisfactory, it's the pizzas that truly shine. Beyond the culinary delights, Montalto also features a captivating sculpture trail, which visitors can explore during a leisurely 45-minute walk. This trail not only adds a cultural touch to the visit but enhances the overall experience, making Montalto a must-visit destination!

First time here, very nice place lots of green around just a perfect autumn day. We had luxury experience vouchers and we choose to go a Montalto. We had a wine tasting at the start our host very knowledgeable and we appreciate it the time she spend with us explaining all the wines. After the tasting we been moved to the piazza restaurant for our meal. Really nice experience food was delicious nice service and great wine. Thank you for your hospitality

We were gifted a picnic at Montalto and absolutely loved the experience. It begins with a wine tasting in the main building and we got to take a bottle of our favourite wine with us. We then walked through the vineyards to our private picnic table which was set with white linen. Our entree was waiting for us, and mains and desserts were delivered later by motorbike. We could have had more drinks delivered as well but we were driving. My recommendation is to get a taxi here so you can really enjoy a lazy, long lunch! We loved our day here and will be copying the gift idea for any future weddings we go to!

Date/time of visit: 5 January 2024 at 12:15pm A beautiful show case of food. We dined at The Restaurant and you are served a set menu for a fixed price. There are options to have wine pairings with each course at a higher price or order by the bottle or by the glass (we ordered by the glass). There are also a couple of options for additional sides, choice of two, for an extra price (we ordered an extra side of a tiger prawn). Each dish was a sharing dish with enough food for the number of people seated at your table. A dining session is approximately two hours and this was our only complaint…we felt rushed at the beginning of our meal and still had 45 minutes to spare at the end of the meal before we officially had to leave. The food itself was delicately prepared. Every ingredient was familiar and, therefore, not daring us to eat it. Instead, the chefs highlighted how every day ingredients (carrots, beans, fish, lamb, snow peas, sugar snap peas, bread, butter) can be raised up to something more. Vegetables were showcased in their own dishes with magnificence without the need for a protein. The fish and the lamb were beautiful. The staff were excellent. The venue was fine dining but relaxed. The dining room has a lovely view over the valley and the surround hills. After lunch we explored the sculpture trail (which is also well worth the visit). Bookings are essential (we had to book approximately 2 weeks in advance to get the sitting time we preferred). Price point to food quality and service was excellent.

Nestled amidst stunning vistas, the winery offers a breathtaking backdrop for a leisurely day out. However, the charm falters when it comes to service, lacking attentiveness and warmth. Disappointingly, the Easter Sunday set menu lacks customization options and fails to cater to diverse tastes. Moreover, the waiter did not offer us the option of still or sparking water and only served sparking water. I have not attended this winery on a regular day so I cannot comment on the other food options.
