Mont Rouge Estate — Attraction in Melbourne

New favourite peninsula winery unlocked. We had no idea what to expect after randomly selecting this family-run winery for our anniversary lunch - it exceeded all of our expectations. Literally all staff were related, which gave it a warm feeling and service was kind and attentive - even surprising our young daughters with an extra slice of the most incredible caramel cake.

Food was 10/10. Three courses served on a multi tiered tray which was fun - simple, crowd-pleasing dishes, each one delish and perfectly paired with their tasty wines.

Beautiful view of the vines from a comfortable covered outdoor seating area that made even a 40-degree day enjoyable. The best part - a chocolate and ice cream shop on the property (with coffee, much needed after lunch and wines)- is this place heaven? It ticked every box for us and we can’t wait...

I had an amazing experience at this winery. The wine tasting was fantastic. Our host was humorous and shared great insights about the wines. Every wine was superb, easily some of the best I’ve had.

The food was incredible too. The slow-cooked beef was so tender, and those fries - I'm not sure what they did to them, but they were extra good and addictive.

For dessert, the caramel raspberry cake was out of this world. It had a satisfying slight gooey texture and the flavours were spot on, with a nice coconut hint from the coconut flour.

The vineyard views were beautiful, with roses blooming all around. Overall, it was a top-notch experience - great wine, delicious food, and a stunning setting. Highly...

I cannot recommend this place more highly. The wine, chocolate and ice cream were all sensational.

We rocked up at 4pm on Good Friday just before closing. I would have totally understood if they just rushed the tasting to get us out of there. Instead, they were incredibly hospitable. Everybody that worked at that place were just so friendly and generous. Oh, and their wine is fantastic. Their pinot noir is my new favourite wine. And if that is not enough, they have great chocolate and icecream - which is great value as the servings are massive!

They are just everything you want in a winery: great service, friendly staff who are great for a yarn and excellent produce....
