But for the full winery experience, treat yourself to the tasting menu, built around some of the kitchen’s signature favourites.

A must-visit in the Mornington Peninsula, Laura at Pt. Leo Estate is a fine‑dining standout where sweeping coastal views meet art, wine and impeccable seasonal cuisine.

Set among the rolling green hills of Gippsland, Hogget Kitchen presents a produce-driven dining experience just outside Warragul.
