Leeuwin Estate

Visited Leeuwin Estate from Melbourne with my partner for tastings and lunch on a beautiful mid – February Monday. Weather was stunning matching the aesthetic of the estate.

Wine Tasting:
Despite being a walk-in, we were greeted with open arms and availability and were treated to a very comprehensive and knowledgeable tasting. The sommelier Chenae provided exceptional cellar door service. She had extensive knowledge, friendly demeanour and provided tailored recommendations appropriately. She advised we sample lunch with paired wines that were excluded from the tasting to experience the full breadth of range at Leeuwin. The wine was so good we returned for a second tasting of the Museum wines post lunch.

Paired Seasonal Lunch:
We had the 6 course seasonal lunch menu with paired wines. All of the food and wine was exceptional and our waitress Marina provided both compliments and service of the highest quality.
Started with sourdough with cultured butter and a Chef’s canape which was inhaled thus didn’t get a chance to take a photo.
First course was a Scallop Crudo which was delicate and light paired with a Riesling.
Second course was Stracchino paired with a Sauvignon Blanc.
Third course was Fish paired with a Chardonnay.
Fourth course was Margaret River wagyu with was tender and buttery paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon.
Fifth course was a dramatic blueberry dish.
Sixth course was the Cambray reserve cheddar with cornbread and spiced raisin. An interesting interpretation of a cheeseboard which was light and delightful to the senses.

Gallery:
Explored the gallery to digest the delicious lunch and tastings.
The collection featured landscape works of Australian Art Modernists including Albert Tucker and Arthur Boyd.

Leeuwin also have a service that ships your wine home which is handy for interstate visitors. Naturally we bought a case to take advantage.

A wonderful sensory experience that we would highly recommend to those visiting the Margaret River region

Absolutely do a tasting and lunch here. Cameron was amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. This man loves his job! Dining on the patio was a pleasure and the food was great

Absolutely stunning pace to visit. Fabulous environment and lovely wines. Personable staff who were wonderful to chat with about the wines, of which they truly demonstrated detailed knowledge. Thank you to Gusto (hope I've spelled your name correctly? Apologies if I have not).

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Leeuwin Estate in Margaret River and I must say, it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. I went with some friends from the Perth and we were blown away by the exceptional service and beautiful views.

We opted for the set menu with museum wine pairing and it was truly a delightful combination. The food was fantastic, and even when there was a slight mishap with my fish dish, the kitchen quickly rectified the situation and even provided me with an extra glass of the perfectly matched wine.

Speaking of wine, Leeuwin Estate is definitely at the top of its game when it comes to wineries in Margaret River. The art series chardonnay, especially the aged ones, left a lasting impression on me. In fact, it's probably the best chardonnay I've had in a while. The wine pairing during our lunch felt more like a harmonious symphony of flavors, with the wines truly standing out when enjoyed alongside the delectable food.

Not only was the estate itself absolutely gorgeous, but the staff were also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They made us feel at ease and were willing to go above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The art gallery downstairs was an added bonus, showcasing beautiful art pieces that were once featured as wine labels.

If you only have time for one winery in Margaret River, Leeuwin Estate should be at the top of your list. It offers a prestigious selection of fine wines, stunning food, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend the ultimate experience package for an unforgettable visit. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome.

Took friends from the Gold Coast here. Was amazing end to end.

We had the set menu with museum wine pairing.

Service was excellent from Bella and even when the kitchen stuff up my fish they dishes it back up and also gave me the matched wine again.

Beautiful views, fantastic food and the wines were good as well.

Highly recommended.

Majestic grounds, an iconic must visit at Margaret river. There's an art gallery on the lower floor that is open for viewing. Professional sommeliers are there to assist in choosing a wine.

There's a need to book ahead for lunches, so unfortunately they were full when we tried to book the day before.

Beautiful estate. Big riot of kookaburra in charge of the lawn! Wine was lovely, we had a wine tasting and our sommelier was fabulous.

We had a fantastic experience in the restaurant - well thought out menu paired with impeccable service and, of course, excellent wines. We went for the museum wine pairing which was a very special experience and matched perfectly with the food. We were specially impressed with the vegan options - the barley-mushroom-caulini dish was exceptional!
We'll be back for more!

Sorry for my English, isn't very well. My first expérience is amazing. The landscape, the food and the personnel is very very good. I recommand the restaurant. I like dégustation the wine. Welcome was very friendly. Thank you very much.

Leeuwin is the top winery of all the wineries we visited in Margaret River. The art series chardonnay, especially the aged ones, is probably the best chardonnay I've had in a while. We did the lunch with wine pairing which felt more like wine with lunch pairing, as the wines really stood out when accompanied by the food. If you have only time for one winery in Margaret River, this is the one you want to go to.

We had a reservation at Leeuwin Estate for lunch and we arrived early and were able to taste all of their current wines at no extra cost before the lunch. The lunch went for about 2 hours with courses spaced out with enough time to thoroughly enjoy them. Paid $115 each for a 3 course set menu. Nice staff who have great knowledge about the food being served.

The $95pp set menu plus $36pp for wine pairing is the absolute best deal you can get in Margaret River, at this level of fine dining. The food was plenty and so well-thought-out. It's just one of those experiences you need to pamper yourself with every once in a while.

Thanks to the chefs, the floor staff and specially Lisa for making my partner's birthday even more special, plus for catering to her gluten free diet.

Would recommend to anyone looking for something different. You'll be happily surprised.

Really great lunch in this sprawling estate with beautiful grounds. Food was really interesting and beautifully prepared and presented. Estate wines a perfect match. Photos are: asparagus, cuttlefish, scallops, lamb, fish, raspberry dessert, cheese, the interior and the exterior. A lovely, sophisticated space.

If I’m back in MR, it would be top of my list to visit Leeuwin. Leeuwin Estate Winery presents a unique blend of wines and culinary delights. Their lunch offering showcases locally sourced ingredients transformed into dishes that harmonize flawlessly with their wines. The setting is tranquil, providing panoramic views of the vineyard that enhance the overall experience. Leeuwin Estate Winery stands out as a destination not to be missed for those seeking a memorable exploration of wine and food in Margaret River.

We enjoyed our tasting here - one of few wineries where everything on offer was incredible! And the core range tasting is complimentary to boot - probably because they know you’re going to buy some anyway.
The staff were attentive, professional and knowledgeable.

Absolutely gorgeous estate, stunning food and fabulous wine.
I’d recommend the ultimate experience package.
The staff were also so friendly and delightful, nothing was too much trouble.

We came for a long, lazy Sunday lunch. And we weren't disappointed. You won't be either.

A beautiful setting, sat upstairs in the restaurant looking out across the grounds.

The food was excellent. From the scallops and the chicken with abalone starters, to the fish and the Wagyu for main.

Of course, all complemented with gorgeous wines, made right there on the estate.

Highly recommended.

Amazing place with great views. Awesome wines and really good degustation menu. It is worthy to do the wine paring. Good service.

Outside is dog friendly
Cellar isn't

Ordered the degustation for 2 and kids menu for 3. Bread/drinks was NOT included for kids. Had the wine pairing which came without a dessert wine. We were offered the Madeira for 15$ a glass it was very disappointing. So many great sweet wines in the region why import something bad...
All up the setting was great, food only 3 out 5 stars, all a bit blend.

Really enjoyed our lunch here at this estate.
The food was very good in our opinion.
What made it even better was the tranquility we got here, just enjoying the food and wine.
We tried both Current release and Museum release fines and Museum release wines stood out :)
They also have an art gallery which you can visit in between your meal to slow things down as you could get quite drunk if you finish all the wines for each course.
