It’s a fun family event with a great festival atmosphere. There’s a massage service for competitors, food and drinks, and most importantly, great coffee! Take a long weekend to enjoy your Mudgee experience. There are great cafes, charming wine bars and casual brasseries, with no less than 40 wineries within easy reach.
