Swing amongst the vines at Tucks 

Experience

The vibe here is fun and fresh with a light and bright renovated cellar door and restaurant, but don’t be fooled, the wines are still some of the best you’ll find in Mornington. Tastings are detailed and informative, with knowledgeable staff who like to keep things casual. Now owned by the crew next door at Montalto, there’s a great synergy between wine tasting and dining, which makes for a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon.

Wines

Two ranges are available for tasting and purchase from the cellar door. The newer, NOW range is designed to be the approachable wines for those who like quality and like to drink now. Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Rosè and an amazingly good Pinot Noir are all included in the NOW range, and are all under $30.

The classic estate range we’ve all come to know and love over the years is only available to purchase from the cellar door, and is the more serious range of staple Mornington varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, as well as a Savagnin, a delightful Cuveè Sparkling, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz. The standout being the Buckle Pinot Noir, made from the oldest vines of the estate, first planted in 1985.

Food

The menu here at Tucks is designed around a casual sharing menu featuring slow fried chicken, roasted eggplant and market fish. Complimented by a delicious range of snacks, sides, salads and sweets. The dishes here are a a casual yet tasty affair. Don’t expect fine dining but do expect flavour always beautifully presented and so delicious.

The sharing menu can also cater really well for the vego and vegan crowds (source: Tucks Wine instagram)

Setting

A new owners in Montalto have breathed new life into this boutique winery. The views from the outdoor dining area are some of the best on the Peninsula, with plenty of space to wonder or relax with a glass or two from the estate. The cellar door may be smaller than others, but the views are unparalleled.

Unbeatable views over the vineyards of Tucks 

What we like

The beautiful views and surrounds, coupled with an amazing and extensive range of wines, make this an unbeatable cellar door experience.

Outdoor dining at its best at Tucks

What we don’t like

The cellar door can get a little crowded on weekends so sometimes you feel staff struggle to keep up with the pace, they still manage to keep a smile on their face though so it’s hard to get annoyed at that.
