T’Gallant Cellar Door

Went to T’Gallant for quick casual lunch today. It was great. The venue was very busy but staff were very attentive and courteous. We ordered the pizzas and would highly recommend particularly the mushroom and Gorgonzola version. We ordered two glasses of the Pinot Noir, which at $ 6.00 per glass was very well priced. Highly recommend

Beautiful location wasted on a poor establishment. 1.5 hour wait for pizza, which they ran out of but didn’t notify us for 1.20min after ordering. No apologies or acknowledgment of this. One of the wait staff– after he had clocked off & on his way out the door– asked how it was, and when we said unacceptable then proceeded to question and challenge our complaint, then insulted one of friends to they point where he and his wife left. Would not recommend or return. Disgusting service.

This winery is one of the most accessible I’ve ever been to. With am extensive tasting list and a range of food options there is something for everyone.
On this visit we only did tastings at the cellar door. I love the depth of wines on offer. From the Juliet which are lighter wines and a great starting point to the avant guard Claudius and premium tribute range.
I have to say that the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Despite a packed cellar door we had attentive service from the girl behind the bar with tips, suggestions and tasting note advice. It was like we were the only people there.
The Claudius is a must try wine. Not for everyone it’s a white made using the same method as a red.
Other noteworthy wines include the Chardonnay (not my usual pick) and the Tribute Pinot noir.
The site itself is picturesque with an outdoor eating area overlooking rolling vineyards. Great place to take mornington peninsula newbies.
