Leeuwin Estate - Art And Wine

OVERVIEW

See how the virtues of art and wine are beautifully expressed at Leeuwin Estate, a family-owned winery in the idyllic Margaret River region. As you settle in over a cup of tea, you will hear about the estate’s deep commitment to the arts and winemaking. It is an extraordinary marriage as you will discover while browsing the on-site art gallery, whose collection features paintings and sculptures from many of Australia’s leading artists. Inspired by their talent, the estate bought the rights to feature many of the works on their wine labels. These Art Series wines are among the finest that the Leeuwin Estate has ever produced, and they will be served during your three-course degustation. The exact wines to be paired will be selected the day of the excursion, but you can be assured that they will reflect the ideal terroir, which is heavily influenced by the marine climate and sandy loamy soil.
