“The catch cry at Blacklea is: ‘It’s the experience you’ll remember’. Blacklea offers a point of difference to other Mudgee wineries/cellar doors. Along with a fully functioning kitchen and restaurant, it offers a unique range of olive oil, balsamic vinegars and numerous other condiments using its olive oil and/or grapes as the base ingredient. All made on the property, they are available for tasting. Come and match the flavours of these condiments with the flavours of the wines. Between June and November, the ‘amazing’ Green Garlic Oil becomes a big part of ‘the experience’. This innovation is made from the cloves and stems of home grown garlic, picked young and cooked in extra virgin olive oil. It has a “creaminess” quite unlike anything you’ve previously tasted. Selling between 40 and 50 bottles each week, its uses are endless: prawns, steak, pizza, pasta – wonderful when spread on toast and topped with a fried, poached or scrambled egg.
Every weekend Gai is magically transformed into Blacklea’s ‘Chef’.
Her Degustation Lunches nicely round out ‘the experience you’ll remember – every Sat & Sun from 12 noon until 3pm (Bookings are essential). You won’t know what you’ve been missing until you’ve experienced one of these mouth watering events. And all at the great value of $50 per head.”

A trip to the First Ridge Wines cellar door is a must for all visitors to the Mudgee region, taking in their beautiful wines, cellar door and stunning views.
First Ridge Wines create exciting and vibrant Italian varietal wines from grapes that are grown on their vineyard in Mudgee. Their award winning wines include, Barbera, Vermentino, Fiano and Rose, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, sparkling Sangiovese and Prosecco.
It is not commonly known, but Mudgee has been home to Italian varietals for many years now. Back in 1974, Carlo Santeri and Franco Belgiorno Nettis planted a range of Italian varietals here under the Montrose label. The owners of First Ridge knew of the lengthy association with Italian varietals and have hand-picked every varietal to best suit the ancient rocky ridges on which their beautiful vineyard sits. For us winemaking is a real balance between science and art and our onsite viticulturist and wine maker work very closely to ensure the balance is achieved each harvest, guaranteeing wine that we are all proud of.

Huntington Estate
‘One of Australia’s best small wineries’ – Halliday, Hooke and the Barefoot Drinker
Established in 1969, Huntington Estate is one of the most celebrated vineyards and wineries in Mudgee. The fifty-year-old vines grow thick and gnarled in the ancient, lean soils on the slopes of a high valley where warm days and cool nights are perfectly suited to the cultivation of a wide variety of wine grapes.
Our passion and purpose is to produce ‘great’ wines at great value. age worthy and with a sense of place, each the best expression of the terroir and the season, and to achieve this we grow, make and bottle the wine ourselves on the Estate.
We choose to invest our time and money on the vines, the grapes and the winemaking over fancy packaging or swanky cellar doors. We also believe in building on our 50 years of success and knowledge, learning from experience and the latest research about how to do what we do well even better, instead of chasing the latest fashion in grape variety or winemaking techniques.
We love where we live and work, we love the grapes we grow and the wine we make, and we love to share our wine, and that’s why we only ever sell direct to our customers.

Lowe Wines
“We grow our grapes according to organic and biodynamic farming principles. Our fruit comes from strong and healthy plants, growing in soil that supports their ongoing heath. Growing this way, we not only ensure the flavour and quality of our wine now, but long into the future.
We make our wine using innovative techniques, tempered by years of experience. Each vintage, our winemakers are joined by a team from around the globe. These are always passionate people, eager to give and receive the knowledge needed to make great wine. In small batches, we are able to give each wine the care and attention that it requires, while preserving the unique characteristics of its origin. The finished product is an expression of this combined knowledge, experience, and care.
We sell our wine to people who enjoy it. Full stop. All of the time spent growing and making our wine would be meaningless if the glass in front of you didn’t impart joy. So we believe this experience should be a personal one, that is why the Lowe tasting room is positioned within view of the grapes, and only ten steps from the centre of production. It’s also why we don’t sell to supermarkets. There is no greater compliment to us than you taking our wine home. It’s humbling, and proof we’re doing it right.”

In 1979, Pieter set up his own Winery and Vineyard, bringing Chardonnay cuttings from Craigmoor Vineyard- the oldest in Australia. Pieter retired in 2006 after achieving a successful career and building a sound business.

Rosby Wines & Guesthouse
The Rosby Cellar Door and Sculpture Garden is a truly unique Mudgee wine and art experience where cellar door wine tastings are conducted casually outdoors in the Rosby Sculpture Garden. Rosby Wines are the epitome of low-impact viticulture and truly boutique wine production. Borne from 15 acres of 20-year-old cabernet sauvignon and shiraz grapes — planted, pruned and picked by hand — the vineyard is carefully managed to produce high-quality, low-yield crops. Varietals are pressed in small parcels at a local winery, and lovingly tended by both vigneron and winemaker to produce a fine, fruit-driven wine designed to age well. In 2014, new blocks of riesling, chardonnay and sangiovese were planted as a future complement to the reds already in the cellar. The small fruit yields underpinning the Norton-Knight’s low-impact farming philosophy mean that Rosby wines won’t ever be found in bottle shops. Instead, orders are taken online, by phone, email, or by literally knocking on Kay and Gerald’s door. “Many vignerons like to think that their vineyard has special qualities, but in this instance the belief is well-based.” – James Halliday
