Depart unrushed

  • Arrive from 3pm — unpack slowly, walk the paddocks, light the fire, open a bottle.

  • A local breakfast hamper is waiting, so your first morning is already taken care of.

  • No agenda. Just space to exhale.

  • Your private driver collects you at 9am for a day among the region's best makers.

  • Aril Estate — award-winning olive grove and pomegranate orchard, straight from the farmer.

  • Mudgee Honey Haven — taste regional honeys and mead, pick up local products.

  • The Cellar by Gilbert — wine tasting with a High Valley Cheese Co. grazing board.

  • Dropped back mid-afternoon for quiet downtime at the homestead.

  • A slower morning at Wandarra before your driver returns at 11am.

  • Huntington Estate (est. 1969) — one of Mudgee's oldest vineyards. Enjoy their Icon Range tasting.

  • The Barn at Blue Wren Farm — relaxed Mediterranean farm-to-table lunch.

  • Spencer Cocoa — bean-to-bar chocolate made from Vanuatu cacao.

  • Back by 4pm for a quiet evening by the firepit or in the private underground bar.

  • Check-out at 11am — plenty of time for a leisurely final morning.

  • Coffee on the verandah, kangaroos grazing quietly beyond the fence line.

  • Enjoy a relaxed breakfast. No rush to beat traffic.

  • Leave well-fed, well-rested, and carrying the stories of what you've tasted.
