About Leura Park Estate
Leura Park Estate is a family-owned vineyard at 1400 Portarlington Road in Curlewis, on the Bellarine Peninsula between Geelong and Drysdale. The 150-acre property grows its own cool-climate grapes, with sparkling wines made in the traditional French method. The estate has three main spaces for events. The Vault is a striking concrete pavilion with vaulted ceilings, plenty of natural light and a suspended fireplace, while the cellar door has original brick floors, an old brick fireplace and large glass doors in the style of a fire station. Outside, a broad lawn and an alfresco lounge area suit garden parties and pre-dinner drinks. The venue seats about 70 guests for a dinner and holds up to 200 for a cocktail-style event. Wedding parties get exclusive use of the whole estate, with ceremonies held among the vines, cypress trees, rustic posts and dams. Packages include tables, chairs, crockery, printed menus, background music and room for a dance floor, plus on-site parking. The kitchen offers three reception packages: a canapé menu with a mini meal, a barbecue buffet and a shared feast. Each can be booked food only or with a five-hour drinks package featuring the estate's own wines, local cider and beer. Smaller celebrations such as engagements, birthdays, baby showers, hens parties and Christmas functions can use the grazing menu or the à la carte menu. The functions manager handles private events, and site inspections for weddings run Thursday to Saturday.
