“There’s some fantastic secret venues dotted throughout Mudgee,” said Ted Cox, President of the Mudgee Wine Grape Growers Association.
“From the alleyway that hides Ably & Esthers across to the Baker Williams Distillery, Mudgee is continuing to build its reputation as one NSW’s best regional food and drink destinations.
"Our vignerons continue to innovate with the next generation of winemakers taking charge and challenging the status quo. Our farmers and producers inspire each other and offer a visitors relaxed charm.
“The new Mudgee Food & Drink Trail opens up this experience in the region. With 17 venues offering a dish and matching beverage, it is the perfect opportunity to literally get a taste of Mudgee.”
The new trail is as eccentric and unique as the producers. From historic buildings to hidden cellar doors, the producers of the region will present dishes such as ‘Rustic Pork Panino’ matched with Mudgee Sangiovese and pomegranate cordial, through to Mudgee Porter beers, vegetarian Tartlets, dukkah, sourdough and one of the newest products, handcrafted Shrubs, fruit vinegars made from local produce.
The 2016 Mudgee Food & Drink trail is a glimpse of the region; its picturesque landscape, pretty streets, rustic cellar doors, robust personalities, prized wines and fresh produce corralled within a self-guided tour over one or two days.
Visitors can purchase Trail Passes for their tours, comprising five unique experiences across the venues.
