What to Do in Mudgee NSW, Mudgee, Australia

Mudgee Australia is in the state of New South Wales and is just a 4-hour drive away from Sydney. A perfect location for your staycation or if you are an overseas visitor a great way to experience the Australian countryside and one of the best wine regions in New South Wales (NSW). With over 65 family-owned vineyards and 35 cellar doors, you will need to allow some time to visit. Mudgee means ‘nest in the hills’ which is an aboriginal name from the Wiradjuri group.

Mudgee is part of the Mid Western Region which also includes the historic towns of Gulgong, Rylstone and Kandos. We spent 3 nights staying in beautiful accommodation, enjoying the flavours of Mudgee and its gastronomic delights, sampling some of the best NSW Wines and Gin we have tasted, as well as a morning spent visiting Gulgong, a historic town close by.

We came away from Mudgee with the highest respect for the people of Mudgee and Gulgong. They are the friendliest and most welcoming of country folk in NSW. We were impressed with their natural ability to share their life stories. They did not hesitate to refer us to other wineries if they were not open for lunch or dinner and there were definitely no signs of competition between any of the growers. To us they felt just like a ‘big country family’. Our guide on where to stay, where to eat and what to do is suitable for families, couples, solos and groups of friends travelling together. ......
