The festival continues to evolve each year with new and exciting events being created along with the constant updating and refreshment of annual favourites

In Mudgee wersquore lucky to have a wine industry dominated by small independent and family-run wineries More often than not the person you meet in the cellar door is the person that owns the business and all of us share a passion for what we do We pride ourselves on exceptional service and a world-class product The same can be said for our food producers and farmers who are providing the region with only the best and freshest local produce

The Mudgee Wine and Food Festival is the perfect time to experience the best of Mudgee for a whole monthmdashfrom Friday September 12th all the way through to Monday October 6th Fantastic events and special offers take place every day and are designed to inspire and delight For those of you who have attended the festival before wersquore looking forward to welcoming you back and once again providing an unforgettable wine and food experience For those who havenrsquot yet had the chance to enjoy the festivities wersquore excited to be able to showcase the best of the Mudgee region for you

With a viticultural history that stretches back to 1858 Mudgee is now one of the top wine producing regions in NSW Each year this is celebrated by thousands who flock to Mudgee for a month long event that has been running since the 1970s On any given day there are an array of special offers and events taking place centred around wine or foodmdashand quite often both

When you visit during the festival we ask that you assist our often busy cellar door staff by purchasing a festival tasting glass and carrying it with you to each of your wine stops

This allows us to serve you in a timely manner is environmentally friendly and provides you a great souvenir of your visit These glasses are available at cellar doors for $6 each

Itrsquos also not only wine and food we celebrate eithermdashdid you know Mudgee has both a micro-brewery AND a distillery Mudgee Brewing Co and Baker Williams Distillery are just as much part of the celebration as the wineries

With a viticultural history that stretches back to 1858 Mudgee is now one of the top wine producing regions in NSW Each year this is celebrated by thousands who flock to Mudgee for a month long event that has been running since the 1970s On any given day there are an array of special offers and events taking place centred around wine or foodmdashand quite often both

When you visit during the festival we ask that you assist our often busy cellar door staff by purchasing a festival tasting glass and carrying it with you to each of your wine stops

This allows us to serve you in a timely manner is environmentally friendly and provides you a great souvenir of your visit These glasses are available at cellar doors for $6 each

Itrsquos also not only wine and food we celebrate eithermdashdid you know Mudgee has both a micro-brewery AND a distillery Mudgee Brewing Co and Baker Williams Distillery are just as much part of the celebration as the wineries
