Overview
Mornington Peninsula's Red Hill Estate has opened its new outdoor dining and drinking offering in time for the summer months. Gigi's Piazza, set on the lawns of the estate, invites guests to enjoy the Italian way of life, featuring a share-style Italian menu and crowd-favourite wines by the glass.
The new casual hang-out spot is suitable for everything from first dates to family days out. The picnic-style menu, served from the nearby cottage kitchen, showcases casual Italian fare. Think arancini, antipasto, focaccia, pastas, salads, tiramisu and more.
Red Hill Estate's General Manager, Dominic Fabrizio says, "No one does long lunches better than the Italians — everybody together, unrushed, enjoying the outdoors and appreciating good food. Gigi's Piazza was designed for visitors to slow down, unwind, and sip and savour every moment."
The estate's renowned wines, including the rosé, pinot noir, chardonnay and newly released Blanc de Blancs sparkling, are poured by the glass, perfect for roaming the lawns and playing a game. There's giant Jenga and Hoopla, and your pooches are also welcome to enjoy the outdoor setting.
Fabrizio says Gigi's Piazza offers the ultimate "dolce vita" experience, where guests can relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures. "We want our guests to feel right at home — enjoy a glass of wine, a bite to eat and take in the stunning surroundings of Red Hill Estate while you pause from the hustle of everyday life."
