Stein - Mudgee Winery, Vineyard & Farm

Stein is a family-run winery, vineyard and working farm on Ulan Road, about ten minutes from Mudgee, with a vintage motorcycle museum thrown in alongside the cellar door. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables and around the cellar door, which makes it an easy stop on a Mudgee wine day rather than a special exception.

Dog access and setup. Dogs can join you at the outdoor seating areas and around the cellar door, on lead and supervised at all times. The on-site Stein Farm Produce food truck handles casual meals, and there's usually outdoor seating nearby where a dog can settle in for the length of a tasting. Bring your own water bowl and check with staff on the day, since farm animals and working vineyard rows mean the rules can tighten depending on what's happening on the property.

Known for. Stein has a strong reputation for its small-batch reds, whites and fortifieds (five red stars from James Halliday), plus a genuinely unusual drawcard: an on-site vintage motorcycle museum. The farm has been run by the same family since 1976, with a regenerative approach to the land.

Getting there and parking. The address is 791 Ulan Road, Budgee Budgee NSW 2850, about ten minutes' drive from central Mudgee. There's on-site parking, easy enough for a group heading out for a day of cellar-door hopping.

Mudgee's wine region has several other dog-friendly cellar doors nearby, including Logan Wines and Lowe Wines, plus Three Tails Brewery in town for a dog-friendly pint afterwards. Best visited outside the busiest weekend lunch rush if you want a table with room for a dog underfoot, and always confirm current pet rules directly with Stein before you go, since cellar door policies can change with the season.
