On Sunday, November 3, Sydney's gastronomes should head to Burns Bay Reserve on the North Shore, where they can sample a tempting selection of top drops from vineyards whose bottles speak for themselves. With a winemaking tradition that dates back to the mid-1800s, Mudgee has earned a reputation for producing some of Australia's best pours, including award-winning riesling, chardonnay, shiraz, and a plethora of Italian and Spanish varietals. At Lane Cove Food and Wine by the River, the winemakers behind these superb sips will share the secrets of their craft.
While these locally produced wines are a major drawcard, the event is also a showcase for the region's other delicious delights, including beers, spirits and gourmet treats — set against the backdrop of the Lane Cove River. With more than 20 different vendors creating a pop-up market, as well as live music performances, yummy street eats and fun activities for the kids, there's plenty to keep the whole family smiling.
Mudgee Wine Association president Deborah Clear says the event is a chance to show off the region's renowned wines and produce. "Mudgee has long been a top destination for Sydneysiders looking for a weekend escape filled with delicious food and wine served in a stunning landscape, surrounded by genuine country hospitality. This event continues to offer a unique chance to bring a slice of Mudgee's charm to the city, showcasing what makes us special—exquisite food, superb wines, and exceptional service".
