Mudgee Wine & Food Festival Returns to Balmoral Beach

The Mudgee Wine & Food Festival is returning to Balmoral Beach in August in a one day event showcasing the region’s most popular wineries and producers.

Mudgee Wine & Food Festival

Running on Sunday 11 August from 11am-5pm, the event is longest-running regional wine and food festival in Sydney and will also launch the official 40th Mudgee Wine + Food Festival program and the 2019 Mudgee Region magazine.

The entire foreshore of Balmoral Beach will be transformed for the event to a space where festival-goers can sip on wines by Craigmoor Wines, De Beaurepaire Wines, Moothi Estate, Robert Stein Winery and First Ridge Estate to name a few, while enjoying local producers such as High Valley Cheese Co., Lomondo Olive Oil, Milnes of Mudgee and Rylstone Olive Press.

The Balmoral Wine & Food Festival is a good introduction to the region, and is a great day for the whole family – offering a petting zoo for the kids and live music throughout the afternoon.

Additionally, Mudgee Region Tourism will also surprise one lucky attendee with the ultimate short-break escape to Mudgee valued at over $2,000, including return flights, accommodation and activities.

The Mudgee Region is a destination known primarily for its boutique wine and sophisticated country charm with around 40 family-owned wineries, a distillery and brewery, it is nestled in the hills and surrounded by quaint country towns, rich with heritage and a variety of established quality visitor experiences.

Located less than 270km northwest of Sydney, it’s just a 3.5-hour drive from Sydney, or 45-minute flight from Sydney airport with flights departing each day.
