Leeuwin Estate

Leeuwin Estate is one of the defining names of Australian wine — an estate that helped establish Margaret River's international reputation when the region was still finding its feet, and one that continues to set benchmarks more than four decades later. The Art Series Chardonnay, in particular, is considered one of Australia's finest white wines in any vintage. Founded in 1974 with direction from Robert Mondavi himself, Leeuwin sits on 120 hectares of the Margaret River plateau, its vineyards producing Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc of consistently remarkable quality. The estate has hosted a legendary concert series since 1985, bringing international acts to perform under the stars in the vineyard — further cementing its place as a cultural institution, not just a winery. Visitors to the cellar door can taste across the estate's full range, from the entry-level Siblings tier through to the benchmark Art Series. The on-site restaurant delivers one of Margaret River's finest dining experiences, matching estate wines with a menu that showcases the region's exceptional produce. Guided winery tours offer a deeper look behind the scenes — the barrel halls, the vineyards, the story of a family and a region that grew up together. For any itinerary through Margaret River that has serious wine credentials, Leeuwin Estate is essential. This is the cellar door that raises every visit around it. Ready to book?
