Fodor's Expert Review Montalto Vineyard & Olive Grove

Overlooking a vineyard of rolling green hills, this restaurant has an à la carte menu, which changes regularly based on available local produce. The wine list borrows from the best of the estate's vintages, as well as classic wines from other regions. The open-air Piazza Café & Cellar Door (open 11–5 daily) dishes up casual dining. You can picnic on the grounds from hampers prepared by the restaurant, (these are hugely popular, so book well in advance). Take a moment to check out the herb garden and the nut and berry orchard, and admire the sculptures on permanent display. If the timing is right, you'll be able to see the entries in the Montalto Sculpture Prize and vote for your favorite. The expansive property also includes a natural wetlands and specially built boardwalks, from which visitors have a chance of spotting more than 90 bird species.
