“The best view of any vineyard in the world”

Ian Sutton, Former CEO, Australian Winemakers Federation

Our Story

Max’s Restaurant is the original winery restaurant on the Mornington Peninsula.

A little over 20 years ago, a young Max Paganoni returned from his travels through Europe with the dream of showcasing his home, the (then) little known region of the Mornington Peninsula to the world. With a passion for local produce and wines, he set out to create the Peninsula’s first winery restaurant.

Fast forward to today and the multi-award winning, highly regarded restaurant is serving local, seasonal modern dishes to guests from all over the world every day of the year. The restaurant is joined by two accommodation properties and a tour business and Max’s dream is realised.
