Max’s Restaurant at Red Hill Estate Events
As one of the first wineries to open on the Mornington Peninsula, Red Hill Estate is one of the most established and reputable venues in the region. Located just an hour’s drive from the Melbourne CBD, this intimate multi-award winning venue is home to Max’s Restaurant, which serves as the location of every wedding, corporate gathering, and social event held on the Red Hill property.
The modern and contemporary interior is highlighted with timber and greenery touches, incorporating elements of the surrounding landscape throughout the venue. Customised menus are created by an executive chef with consideration for your dietary requirements and special requests.
There are multiple locations for your event; a large lawn area is perfect for lunches, wedding ceremonies, and activities, or retreat to the Terrace for casual meetings, birthday parties, or team drinks. The restaurant itself is ideal for large gatherings, seating up to 110 people comfortably.
Sit down to a celebratory feast inside the restaurant, or toast to the day with cocktails and canapes on the Terrace whilst watching the sun sink over Western Port Bay. The end of the evening doesn’t mean the end of your experience; book a stay at Max’s Retreat, a cosy cabin that is ideal for up to eight adults.
