Pt. Leo Estate

Perched high on the Mornington Peninsula—staring down Port Phillip Bay—Pt. Leo Estate is an absolute masterclass in coastal elegance. Those who chase serious terroir make a beeline for this sprawling vineyard, where the estate-grown vintages pour flawlessly alongside a striking, monumental sculpture park. People in the hospitality circuit constantly whisper about the hyper-attentive service here—the kind of intuitive, old-school care that anticipates celebrations and navigates severe allergies without skipping a beat. Expect wildly creative, beautifully plated dishes. The king prawns are spectacular, but the culinary crowd points straight to the confit potatoes—a masterful vegetarian flex elevated by crispy kale. Finish with a perfectly balanced spicy margarita and an intricately layered apple tart. Book ahead, wander the art, and let the sommelier guide your glass.
