Hi. I want to make a similar cake to this one....can anyone tell me how they think the leaves and vines are done? Thanks!

It looks like fondant. If you don't have a leaf cutter, a tear drop cutter can be used. Use a toothpick to make the veins in the leaf if you don't have a veining tool or veiner. Some of the leaves are curved so I would dry some of the leaves on the cake pan you are using (turn the pan upside down) or a cake dummy. For a more realistic leaf, make the vein lines in a "V" shape, like in the pic below.
For the vines, roll fondant into long thin
"snakes" and taper the ends. HTH
@Apti You are very welcome. I'll be sure to check them out.
In general PME (seamless) and Ateco are so much better than Wilton tips. IMO. If you're handy with a piping bag, the leaves and vines could be piped on with royal icing.
