Mudgee Wine Region & Honey Farm:
Visited October 8 2019
My family and my family friends went on a trip to Mudgee to get a peaceful break from the city and stay out in the countryside for a few days. My dad and uncle had rented out an Airbnb which was a house that was near a few farms and vineyards. From the Campbelltown area to Mudgee it took around 3 hours to travel there. Being with family and friends was great and we were able to take a break from technology as well.
When we arrived, the woman who owned the Airbnb had come to clean up the home for our stay. She gave a warm welcome and when we entered it felt as though I had just entered my home. All the beds were set up and there were plenty of rooms for everyone. Overall the rooms were very clean and tidy. There were brooches set up in the living room area, which allowed us to see what this small town had to offer to us city folk. We looked through and found many vineyards, even though we could see two from the backyard. But there was one interesting place we found called the Mudgee Honey Farm.
After we had finished eating lunch we decided to the Honey Farm. The Honey Farm looked more like a small cafe, but when we went inside we saw there was a back door to go out to see where they get the honey. We couldn’t see the farm itself as we had come a bit too late, but our parents decided to start tasting all the different kinds of honey the place had to offer. They started from the Chilli flavoured honey to the Ginger flavoured honey. My family friend and I, on the other hand, were in the confectionary side where they had honey-caramelised popcorn and honeycomb chocolates. After we bought what our heart desired, we went back to the Airbnb to eat what we had bought.
Our parents had bought the Ginger flavoured honey and the Lemon flavoured honey, so they could make herbal tea for us in the future, just staying prepared. They didn’t dare to buy the Chilli flavoured honey, as it might ruin their love for spicy foods.
At night, when we were going to go to sleep, we started to notice that a lot of bugs, of various sizes, started showing up. It was hard to go to sleep knowing that there is a possibility that I might eat a bug or two while sleeping. So before sleeping I went through the hassle of swatting as many bugs as possible. The next morning I was relieved to see that I had survived the living nightmare of the infuriating insects.
The next day, we had packed ourselves up to go back home. On the way, we stopped at a winery, where they served cheese and wine, but we didn’t have any as we are all Muslims. There wasn’t anything for us to eat, so we all decided to stay outside and take pictures of the scenery.
Overall, we all had a good time, at Mudgee. Although it’s a small town it has a few unique places to offer for all to see. I wish to go there once again, but bring extra bug repellent for a more peaceful sleep.
