Okay Read MoreGuide To Mudgee
11th April 2019
Mudgee is the perfect escape for a gourmet country adventure. We’ve compiled a short guide to a region which we believe is a must-visit! Stay with us at Parklands Resort and Conference Centre, the ideal place to get away. Surrounded by over 30 acres of land with beautiful manicured gardens, it is the ultimate place to indulge. If you’re looking for a wine weekend with friends, or to simply get away from the business of city life, Mudgee should be on your radar.
DRINK
The first winery you’ll see on your way into Sydney, Logan Wines is a sight to behold. The tasting room is Insta goals with unique architecture helping you achieve the perfect snap. Using grapes from the Mudgee Region as well as Orange, it is the perfect start to the Mudgee experience.

For a unique winery experience, Lowe Wines specialise in organic and biodynamic wines. You won’t go wrong with whatever wines you end up trying and/or taking home, just ask the knowledgeable staff for advice. Be sure to order some food to pair with your tastings, it’s incredible.
EAT
Set in a gorgeous modern farmhouse overlooking the countryside, this is the perfect place for a long and lazy lunch. Sourcing the produce from as close as possible (even from their own garden), the food here may be simple, but it truly lets the ingredients play a starring role. Take a break between courses and wander the garden, or pat the donkeys, and start the next course.
