Leura Park Estate
About
Overview & Vibe
Leura Park Estate is a working vineyard on Portarlington Road at Curlewis, fifteen minutes from Geelong — meandering vines, majestic cypress trees, rustic posts and dams, with a cellar door and an architectural vault that trade in rustic charm.
Setting & Style
Couples pick their own ceremony spot among the vines, the cypresses and the dams, then guests meander to the rolling front lawn for drinks while the photographs happen. Three spaces carry the celebration: the Cellar Door with its original brick flooring, brick fireplace and commanding 'fire station' glass doors; the Al Fresco lawn and contemporary lounge; and The Vault, an 'Opera House-esque' living art compound with vaulted ceilings, natural light and a suspended feature fireplace — which doubles as the wet-weather ceremony backup. Weddings take exclusive use of the entire estate and seat up to 70 for an intimate dinner or 200 cocktail-style, with tables, chairs, china, stemware, flatware, printed menus, dance floor space, background music and onsite parking included. Three catering packages run from canapés through a barbecue buffet to a shared feast, all built on a five-hour reception and paired with the estate's award-winning cool-climate wines and Flying Brick cider.
Ideal For
