Food and wine in Mudgee
Mudgee is just under a four-hour drive from Sydney and a favourite short break if you enjoy food, wine, the great outdoors and the comfort of sophisticated accommodation. Discover fine food and wine on the Mudgee Taste Trail and Mudgee Gourmet Trail.
About Mudgee Area
Famous for its wines, the area around Mudgee has about 50 wineries, some operating since the 1850s. Hire a bike and go touring around the wineries, many in picturesque locations by the Cudgegong River.
The town of Gulgong has 130 National Trust-listed buildings in one street – stop at the Pioneers Museum to see a fascinating record of Australian 19th-century frontier life. Writer Henry Lawson grew up in neighbouring Eurunderee, and you can follow a drive around the significant sites of his childhood. Or get close to nature at Rylstone, which sits in a magnificent green valley near Wollemi National Park, where the ancient Wollemi Pine was discovered in 1994.
