We went on a short getaway last April to Rye and on our way home we had lunch at the Montalto Winery in Red Hill. This is a late post and I just didn’t get the chance to write about this.
Anyway, the winery is located in Red Hill, a small town on the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, approximately 63 km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD.
We went there for lunch at this wonderful outdoor setting on a beautiful sunny day.

This place is known for its sculptures around the grounds so off we went after lunch to shed off those extra kilos on our bellies.

Aside from the winery, there are 30 permanent sculptures on the Sculpture Trail throughout Montalto … amongst the vines

And of course there should be somewhere to sit and rest.

And here’s one sculpture that I wanted to try but I guess my legs are too short to reach.

Such a warm and beautiful spot. The food looks tasty too. 😋
Yes, that is true…food is yum! Thanks for the comment Pepper ❤️
Teresa, A walk in sunshine, surrounded by beautiful sculptures and vineyards, looks wonderful to me. Lunch looks delicious, too. Thank you for sharing this with us at PPAC/ WCS.
Perfect combination makes a wonderful day. Thanks Natalie ❤️
These are wonderful, Teresa! I rarely understand sculpture these days but so many of these are appealing. Thanks a lot for sharing 🤗🍇💗
Maybe I have edited out some pieces that I don’t understand as well. Haha
A good meal in a beautiful setting and outdoor sculptures to explore – my sort of day out for sure!
Very relaxing for sure ❤️
It looks like a great place to take a walk, admire some art, and eat what looked like a delicious lunch!
A joyful combination of activities, right?
Right!😀
What a perfect location. I really enjoy them on this gray chilly day.
Glad you liked it…it’s summer but it’s kinda chilly here as well
