Kate Legge at Montalto

Join award-winning journalist Kate Legge for lunch at Montalto as she explores the complex topic of infidelity. 

In her latest work of non-fiction, renowned journalist and author Kate Legge turns her attention to the oft-taboo topic of infidelity. Drawing from her own experiences, Legge’s Infidelity and Other Affairs critically examines the concept of lifelong monogamy and explores whether the urge to be unfaithful can be considered a hereditary trait. This June, the Wheeler Centre heads to Red Hill’s acclaimed winery Montalto for an intimate lunch and thought-provoking conversation between Legge and radio producer and presenter Elizabeth McCarthy. Together they will unpack Legge’s latest work, reflecting on the process of bringing personal experiences to the page, and the complexities of modern relationships and inherited histories. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage with one of Australia's most respected journalists on a topic that is rarely discussed in public forums.
