Petersons Winery MUDGEE

The short version. Petersons Winery Mudgee is a relaxed, country-style cellar door on expansive grounds at Eurunderee, about a 10-minute drive from town. Dogs are welcome across the lawns and patio with no entry fee, so it is an easy, unhurried stop on a Mudgee wine day.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the grounds and outdoors on the lawns and patio, and you can sit through a tasting with your dog beside you. Keep your dog leashed at all times and mindful of other guests and vineyard wildlife. Outdoor water bowls and dog treats are typically on hand, though it is still worth carrying your own bowl and backup treats.

Good to know. The estate pours boutique, cellar-worthy wines, with Shiraz, Chardonnay and Semillon among the regulars, plus a sparkling muscato, in a quiet rural setting away from the busier town cellar doors. The appeal is the tranquil, personal tasting rather than a big crowd.

Getting there and parking. It sits roughly 10km from the Mudgee CBD, off the Castlereagh Highway via Eurunderee Lane. Gravel parking is available right near the cellar door with easy, step-free access to the outdoor tasting areas.

Nearby with the dogs. The wider Mudgee area is very dog-friendly, so you can pair this with other leashed-welcome cellar doors nearby. For a proper run-around, the Glen Willow Sports Complex has a large fenced off-leash dog area, and Three Tails Brewery in town is a well-known dog-friendly spot for a bite afterwards.

When to go. Weekday and early weekend visits are the quietest for a calm tasting with a dog along. Pack water for warm afternoons on the open grounds. Good for owners after a peaceful, out-of-town stop with room for the dog to settle.
