About Pt. Leo Estate

High above Western Port Bay, Pt. Leo Estate pairs estate-grown vintages with a coastal outdoor sculpture walk. Milestone lunchers settle in for attentive service that navigates allergies smoothly and marks birthdays without prompting. In the main dining room, tables fill with king prawns, spicy margaritas, and confit potatoes finished with crispy kale, while serious diners head for multi-course menus at Laura. Many grab a glass of estate Pinot Noir to stroll the gravel paths through the monumental art park before finishing with layered apple tart.

  • Monumental Sculpture Park: Wander curated outdoor art pathways set directly against sweeping coastal water views before or after dining.
  • Multi-Tier Dining: Choose between casual wine terrace snacks, main dining room courses, or fine dining at Laura.
  • Considered Hospitality: Attentive floor staff guide estate wine pairings, track allergies with care, and remember celebration details.

  • confit potatoes

    the biggest surprise for me was the confit potatoes. I’m always looking for vegetarian dishes with a bit of creativity, and they transformed a simple potato into something truly memorable with crispy kale and all the beautiful flavours. I’d happily come back just for that dish!
