Last weekend, a couple of friends and I travelled to the beautiful Mudgee wine region.
As it was my first time in Mudgee, I was very excited to see what the town had to offer. I had only heard great things and Mudgee surely did not disappoint. The cherry blossoms were out, the food was delicious, the locals were lovely and extremely accommodating.
We went to a selection of lovely wineries, a boutique distillery and a popular local brewery.
The day consisted of essentially wine tasting and cheese sampling, It was perfect.
Despite the storm clouds that constantly loomed above us, the atmosphere and location was breathtaking. Every winery we popped into was simply beautiful; the service, scenery and wine selection were most outstanding. The afternoon was spent enjoying a hot roast lunch at the gorgeous LOWE winery by an open fire and looking over their maze of vineyards.
*I also made a new friend (below). Meet Louise Lowe everyone.
A couple more photos I took during the trip below. :)
The sun came out as Sunday came around, and so did home time. Back to reality, but not before a visit to the town centre, and making an essential stop for some fresh local honey from Honey Haven. Every now and then it is nice to have a little getaway from busy city life, relax and enjoy the grapes. I especially enjoyed the Mudgee wineries, and will definitely come back again and perhaps stay even longer.
It was a comfortable drive; thanks to Ford Australia for the getting us a car!
