Lowe Family Wine Co

Overview

Lowe Wines owner David Lowe was up on natural winemaking long before it was considered cool. He's producing certified organic wines in small batches — so small, in fact, that you'll be hard pressed to find his drops outside of the cellar door.

Located just a short drive from the Mudgee centre, the winery is in a region well-suited to red varieties like shiraz and merlot, as well as the vineyard's signature drop: zinfandel. For eats alongside the wine, there are regional grazing platters that use all local produce and smallgoods.

While you're there, take a stroll around the stunning vineyard, which includes a wooden picnic area, rescued donkeys (for patting) and access to 360-degree views of Mudgee from Federation Hill. The tasting room also hosts regular events including wine making, cooking and ceramics workshops.
