Mudgee is well and truly wine country. One of Australia’s oldest wines making regions and home to over 60 wineries, this glorious NSW locality is the number one place to sample homegrown varieties from Chardonnay to Shiraz.

With a cellar door, artisan bakery, farmhouse restaurant and boutique accommodation, the Lowe Family Wine Co. offers one of the most multidimensional experiences you will find at any Mudgee vineyard. Make a trip to this incredible destination to soak up the food, drink, and scenery. In fact, why not make a weekend of it with a stay at its Shed by Zin studio?

What is the Lowe Family Wine Co. story?

Founded by award-winning winemaker David Lowe, the Lowe Family Wine Co. is very much a family affair indeed. After helping his father plant the first vines almost fifty years ago, today David is a trailblazer on the Australian wine scene with his organic & biodynamic vineyard.

Together with executive chef Kim Currie, David has transformed the Lowe Family Wine Co winery into an extraordinary dining and lifestyle destination. The best way to experience its signature Dragonfly Red and White blends? A cellar door tasting.

Book in a tasting session on the scenic terrace and learn about the wine’s tasting notes and how it’s made. Nibble on a tasty platter of regional cheeses, house-made charcuterie and preserves straight from the cellar door kitchen.

How can I dine at the Lowe Family Wine Co.?

With an exceptional restaurant and bakery, the Lowe Family Wine Co. is a dining haven as much as a drinking one. Reserve a table at Zin House for a farm-to-table long-lunch extravaganza. A five-course menu awaits, made with produce plucked from the garden. As one would expect, each dish is accompanied by a wine hand-selected by David that elevates the food’s flavours.

Be sure to call in to the Althea by Zin bakery in Mudgee before you leave. Named after Kim’s mother, it is a love letter to her passion for baking. Grab a coffee, pick up a tasty pastry and a loaf of freshly baked bread to take home.

Staying at Lowe Family Wine Co.

For a romantic stay in Mudgee, the Shed by Zin accommodates two. While it does indeed resemble a humble shed from the outside, within you’ll find it’s a cosy and characterful studio with all the modern touches you’d so desire. Nestled amongst the extensive kitchen gardens, and overlooking the organic & biodynamic farm, the Shed invites you to unwind into a slower, pastoral way of life.
