Nestled in the scenic countryside of Mudgee, Pieter Van Gent Winery & Vineyard offers more than just a visit – it’s an experience to be savoured. With roots tracing back to the 1970s, this iconic estate carries a proud family legacy built on passion, dedication, and a deep appreciation for the art of winemaking. 

Founded by Pieter Van Gent himself, the winery was born from a vision to harness the untapped potential of Mudgee’s unique terroir and transform it into something truly special. With a commitment to quality, detail, and a respect for tradition, Pieter created a winery that celebrates the land while embracing innovation, setting the stage for the future of Australian winemaking.

Today, the 100-acre estate proudly encompasses that vision, crafting wines that reflect the region’s distinctive character and charm. With thirteen hectares under vine, the vineyard is especially renowned for its exceptional fortified wines, offering something unforgettable for both seasoned wine lovers and curious travellers seeking a genuine and enriching experience.

Pieter Van Gent Winery & Vineyard is leading the way in sustainable farming, prioritising the long-term health of its soils and grapes to ensure the continued production of premium-quality wines well into the future. By actively reducing its environmental footprint, the vineyard is not only preserving the land but is also setting a powerful example for future winemakers and entrepreneurs, helping to reshape and modernise the wine industry.

From sustainable farming techniques to the hand-picking of grapes, every step in the winemaking process is thoughtfully considered, resulting in bottles that are truly one-of-a-kind. Each wine speaks for itself, a genuine reflection of the land, climate and the unwavering passion behind its creation. Every cork popped is a celebration of craftsmanship, flavour and tradition.

Visitors are invited to experience these exceptional wines firsthand at the cellar door, which is housed in the original 1970s winery building, offering a nostalgic and immersive journey through time. With a range of alternative varieties and specials available, the tasting experience is as rich as the wines themselves. To complete the experience, on-site accommodation allows guests to relax, fully immersing themselves in the tranquil beauty of the vineyard setting.
