The beautiful Leogate Estate offers visitors an elegant and sophisticated cellar door, a beautiful restaurant serving dry aged angus beef and a truly magnificent wedding and function venue.
Reviewed By FarmerJohn45 - Singleton, Australia
Some friends came up from Sydney for a special occasion and we chose to go to Leogate for Lunch - what a great choice!! Our table was by a large window, looking out over lawns and the vineyard, with ducks wandering about and kangaroos in sight as well on the neat lawns. From the time we were seated the excellent service began, with water offered initially then the menus and drinks all seamless and unobtrusive. When our food arrived it all lived up to our expectations and was picturesque, tasty and filling, then the desserts--- O Boy! they were worth the visit in themselves, each of us received a work of art as well as a fantastic, flavourfull and generous platefull. Not cheap but certainly worth the money for a great lunch experience in wonderful surroundings.

Reviewed By ianmacd44 - Griffith, Australia
We were at Short Sheep again on our annual trip to Mudgee. As previously, it is an enjoyable cellar door, with interesting wines from which I always find something worth purchasing. This place is a great contrast to some of the bigger wineries of the area. The cellar door is appropriately small with a chance to take a peek into the winery. Sue and Tony are great on their ability to share what they are doing with the wines. It will be on our list again for our next visit to Mudgee.
4. Rowlee Wines

Rowlee is a boutique producer of cool climate wines located in Orange, New South Wales. Our tasting room is open everyday between 11am and 5pm for tastings and wine sales. Wines are also available for purchase by the glass or bottle to enjoy on the deck overlooking the vineyard.

On a beautiful winter’s day we visited Rowlee Wines on a quest for the divine Arneis. We had a 1pm booking for tasting, and the awesome Natasha welcomed us to the cellar door. It’s a great spot to sample the wines: a modern, open room with well-spaced tables, a wood-burning fire, and views out over the vineyard. Sparkling clean glasses were lined up ready for our tasting. All Covid protocols were in place. We have bought wine from Rowlee before, and we were hoping to try and buy the new vintage Arneis. Natasha is very knowledgeable about all the wines, and we ended up joining the wine club, and coming away with a case of the Arneis, as well as some beautiful Fumé Blanc and Pinot Gris. This cellar door is a relaxing, peaceful place in the heart of Orange’s wine growing district. A visit is highly recommended.

My favourite place to vist in the Hunter Valley. The wine is delicious and from now on I will need a constant supply of that amazing chocolate liqueur in my fridge. The staff are so friendly and down to earth - the recommendations they sent through after I made a cellar door booking was a really nice touch as well. Every other cellar door visit in the Hunter Valley was disappointing compared to this one.

My partner and I booked a wine tasting experience here recently. Having been to wineries in the hunter valley, Mudgee and other highly rated cellar doors in Orange, this was undoubtably our favourite. The wines, spectacular. Every single wine was delicious. The service, unbeatable. They are happy to accomodate your interests and taste buds without the extra price tag unlike many other places. They are extremely knowledgeable re the wines, and are happy to share this with you, without it being too overwhelming. YOU MUST ENJOY A PICNIC. The picnic set up was also extremely delicious. We were supplied with everything we needed which was above and beyond what we expected. But nothing compares to the intimate experience of enjoying it privately in the views with the ultimate view of Orange. On your next visit, you would truly be missing out if you did not experience all this cellar door has to offer.

Still looks identical to my previous visit over 10 years ago and they certainly maintain their humble persona. Excellent iconic wines and my only disappointment was they ran low on stock of some of the good ones due to increased demand with COVID. I went with friends who were members so I did experience a premium tasting experience which was lovely.
