Forget the fight for a beach towel this summer. Mudgee's calling and we've got way more to offer than questionable tan lines.

Let's be honest, summer is for indulging. Think about long lunches that turn into lazy afternoons, plates piled high with fresh produce and regional specialties. Top it all off with award-winning wines that'll have you raising a toast to good life decisions.
