Di Lusso Estate

Di Lusso Estate is an Italian-inspired winery on Eurunderee Lane, about ten minutes from Mudgee, built around Italian varietals and wood-fired pizza with vineyard views. It is a well-established dog-friendly stop, with the outdoor grass and courtyard the natural spot to settle with a dog.

The dog setup. Dogs on a lead are welcome, with the grassed outdoor area and the undercover courtyard the intended spots. Some sources say dogs can join you inside the cellar door, but the safe, courteous default is the grass, so call ahead if you want to confirm. Water bowls are provided in the outdoor seating. If you are staying for a pizza or lunch, mention the dog when booking so you are seated in the right area.

Known for. Over a dozen Italian varietals and blends, including Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Vermentino, plus authentic wood-fired pizzas and seasonal Mediterranean food. The estate also makes its own olive oil and grows figs.

Getting there and parking. It is on Eurunderee Lane, roughly seven kilometres and ten minutes from the town centre, with ample gravel parking on site and flat access to the tasting room and dining areas.

Nearby with the dogs. Lowe Family Wine Co and McIntosh Estate are close by in the same wine district and welcome dogs outdoors. The quiet country roads around Eurunderee suit a leashed walk, though keep dogs on-lead near the farm animals.

Weekends are when the pizza kitchen fires up and the crowds arrive, so a weekday visit is calmer. Good for relaxed dogs who will settle on the grass while you eat.
