Make a Day of It

In Mudgee, a wine tour is more than just a tasting - it can be a full-day experience filled with local food, spectacular views, and the kind of slow-paced moments that stay with you long after the last glass is poured.
Whether you’re booking a guided tour or heading out on your own, planning a few thoughtful extras can turn a great day into a memorable one.
Here’s your go-to checklist for a day well spent:

1. Plan a Grazing Lunch
Support local - many wineries offer platters or are close to regional produce cafes.
2. Leave Room in the Boot
You’ll want to take a few bottles home.
3. Take the Scenic Route
Wind your way through Rylstone, Gulgong or Eurunderee for postcard-worthy views.
4. Dress the Part
Sun hat, comfy shoes and sunnies - essentials for style and comfort.
