Mudgee Wine and Food Festival 2014

Overview

Fun fact: Mudgee is the third largest grape-growing region in New South Wales, housing more than 35 family-run cellars. The city also happens to house a pretty rocking food scene — culinary specialities that the good folks of Mudgee are bringing to Balmoral Beach on August 10 for the 24th annual Mudgee Food & Wine Festival.

From 11am-5pm, Balmoral Beach will be covered with marquees and stalls displaying Mudgee's finest fare and wine. Admission is free, with taste packages starting from $20. For the more adventurous, there is also a VIP Marquee 'grazing' event, where guests are able to chat to the producers while enjoying a menu of local and seasonal fare and wine, courtesy of renowned Mudgee chef Rachel McCarthy.

Plan on drinking? Event organisers have even organised a shuttle bus to transport you around the northern suburbs. Bookings are essential. Tickets can be purchased here.
