A Taste of Mudgee’s Wine Heritage
With a winemaking history dating back to the 1850s, Mudgee is one of Australia’s oldest wine-growing regions — and proudly home to more than 40 cellar doors, each with its own character and story. The region is best known for its bold reds and elegant whites, from rich Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon to crisp Chardonnay and aromatic Viognier. Many wineries remain family-owned, where you’ll often find the winemaker themselves pouring tastings and sharing stories about their vines.
Cellar Doors Worth Discovering
Start your journey at Lowe Family Wine Co, a certified organic winery where biodynamic practices and sweeping valley views create a truly special experience. Logan Wines combines award-winning drops with one of the best tasting-room outlooks in NSW, while Robert Stein Winery pairs top-tier wines with an on-site brewery and acclaimed restaurant.
For a more boutique experience, visit Bunnamagoo Estate Wines, Huntington Estate, or First Ridge Wines — each offering a unique perspective on Mudgee’s terroir. Many cellar doors feature cheese platters, grazing boards, or picnic lawns where you can sit back, relax, and soak up the sunshine.
Wine Trails & Scenic Drives
Exploring the Mudgee wine trail is as easy as it is rewarding. The Central Mudgee trail includes several walkable options from the town centre, while the Northern and Southern trails wind through stunning countryside dotted with olive groves, orchards, and farm gates. Most cellar doors are within 5–20 minutes of Mudgee Holiday Park, making it simple to design your own tasting adventure.
If you’d rather leave the driving to someone else, consider joining a local wine tour — a friendly, fuss-free way to meet new people and discover hidden gems.
