Mudgee Vineyard Stay
Forget the drone of the city for a moment, the ever-present hum of the Harbour Bridge. Imagine instead the gentle clink of glasses as the sun dips below rolling Mudgee hills, a crisp Riesling chilling your palate, the scent of a wood-fired pizza wafting on the breeze. This isn’t a dream sequence; it’s Manly’s chance to uncork a little slice of wine country for you.
What is it? This August, What's In Sydney is bringing the heart of Mudgee's wine region directly to Manly, transforming a secret spot (we're keeping it under wraps for now) into a vineyard experience like no other. More than just a tasting, this is an immersive staycation, albeit a brief one. We’re collaborating with some of Mudgee’s most celebrated boutique wineries, offering guided wine flights, gourmet food pairings straight from regional producers, and workshops on everything from grape varietals to sustainable viticulture. Think of it as a premium, pop-up cellar door, but with the added bonus of an overnight escape.
Why go? You’ll want to snag a spot for this because it’s your golden ticket to escaping the city without actually leaving it. Picture this: sinking into a plush armchair, Cabernet Sauvignon swirling in your glass, as a local Mudgee winemaker shares their passion, their stories, and the secrets behind their award-winning drops. This event is for the curious foodie, the discerning wine lover, or anyone simply yearning for a sophisticated, sensory escape. Expect intimate tasting sessions, opportunities to purchase rare bottles directly, and perhaps even a live acoustic set providing the perfect backdrop to your vinous adventure. If you appreciate the finer things in life, but with a laid-back, regional charm, this is tailor-made for you.
Need to know Given our Manly locale, public transport is your friend – a leisurely ferry ride is the perfect prelude. We'll reveal the exact venue closer to the date, but rest assured, it’ll be easily accessible. Dress smart casual; think relaxed country chic, but don't forget a stylish scarf for those August evenings. Early booking is highly recommended – we’re keeping this intimate and tickets are limited. Keep an eye on your inbox once you’ve booked for precise arrival instructions and any last-minute surprises. This is a grown-up affair, so leave the little ones at home.
