Practical planner
Details to review before reserving
Please be on time. Allow extra time to check in and use facilities before your booked 60-minute session; travel time to the property is roughly 10 minutes from Rylstone and at least 50 minutes from Mudgee.
There is a 2.5 km driveway from the entrance through the vineyard to the cellar door; factor this approach into your travel plans.
Bring anything you need for a comfortable 60-minute seated tasting and arrive with time for check-in; note that outside food and drink are not permitted on the grounds.
Book for your private party size (2–8 people) and avoid arriving late — if the venue is busy you risk missing the experience.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
