Food and wine around Mudgee

Vineyards were established as early as the 1850s around Mudgee - and, today, one of the highlights of a visit to the region is to taste local wines. The specialty is red, especially cabernet sauvignon and shiraz and you can sample them at one of the 40 wineries in the area.

There are some novel ways to travel around the vineyards such as hiring a bike or via a cellar door tour to taste the wide range of local specialities as well as dessert wines and organic vintages.

Food and wine events are regular fixtures on Mudgee's events calendar. Sample fresh gourmet produce at the Mudgee Farmers' Markets, held on the third Saturday of each month - lookout for honey, cheese and olive oils. In July, you can learn about farm life at the Mudgee Small Farm Field Days, now in its 34th year; in September, the Mudgee Wine and Food Festival attracts visitors who have a real passion for good wine and fine food.

Don't miss local produce from the Farmer's Pantry, High Valley Wine and Cheese Co. and local brews from the Mudgee Brewing Company.
