“Life is short – celebrate well!” goes the motto of Leura Park Estate, whose award-winning wines, fun vibe and gourmet fare make it hard not to oblige. Located in Curlewis on the picturesque Bellarine Peninsula, this boutique winery is renowned as one of the region’s best, but that’s only part of its appeal. Rustically chic with its brick floor and sturdy wooden tables and chairs, the cellar door offers not only wine tastings, but also live music every Sunday and simple, flavoursome food to enjoy inside by the fire or out under umbrellas on the sunny lawn and terrace. From generous platters to stone-based pizzas and other options like salt and pepper calamari served with Greek salad, everything is made in house using local produce and designed to complement Leura Park Estate’s wines.
