Celebrating the combination of fine wine, food and art, Leeuwin Estate features an award winning restaurant, cellar door and art gallery. The Estate is renowned for staging spectacular events and welcoming visitors from around the world.
Family owned, Leeuwin Estate, one of the five founding wineries of the now famous Margaret River district of Western Australia, is under the stewardship of three generations who work with a team of highly skilled winemakers to consistently produce wines ranking alongside the world’s finest. 

In 1972, legendary Napa Valley winemaker, Robert Mondavi, identified the future site of the Leeuwin vineyard as being ideal for the production of premium wine and provided early mentorship to Denis and Tricia Horgan in the transformation of their cattle farm into Leeuwin Estate. Enjoying its first commercial vintage in 1979, Leeuwin was thrust into the international spotlight when Decanter Magazine gave its highest recommendation to the 1981 “Art Series” Chardonnay. The international accolades have continued and Leeuwin now exports to 30 markets. 

The Leeuwin Restaurant maintains the food philosophy of combining exceptional seasonal West Australian produce, focusing on flavour, texture and aromas, with current and museum release Leeuwin Estate wines. With sweeping verandahs, the restaurant overlooks a meadow surrounded by a forest of majestic karri trees. The Leeuwin “Wine Room”, is available for private dining group bookings.

Leeuwin first developed an association with the arts fraternity when launching the famous “Art Series” wine labels. The collection now comprises over 150 paintings and artworks from artists including John Olsen, Arthur Boyd, Sir Sidney Nolan, Lloyd Rees, Albert Tucker, Fred Williams, Robert Juniper, Clifton Pugh and Imants Tillers, with most on display in the Leeuwin Estate Art Gallery.

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. Alex

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!

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.
