Mudgee

Mudgee is on Wiradjuri land and was first settled by Colonial settlers in 1822 when George and Henry Cox drove 500 livestock and established Menah, Mudgee’s oldest grazing property.  Fast forward 200 years and the Mudgee region offers a thriving township of over 15,000 people, 41 wineries with Cellar Doors, a host of fabulous restaurants and cafes, a wide range of boutique retail outlets, specialist Providores for a bottle of local olive oil or jar of chutney or jam, and a regional arts precinct..  

Some of our food and wine favourites are:

Wineries – Lowe Family Wine Co, Robert Stein Vineyard and Winery, Petersons, Di Lusso Wines, Huntington Estate, Logan Wines, Moothi Estate.
