Pieter van Gent Winery and Vineyard is a family-owned business with a rich history dating back to 1979. This winery is dedicated to producing exceptional handcrafted wines using organic growing methods. With a winemaking lineage that stretches back to 1790, the family brings generations of expertise to every bottle.
Chardonnay, a grape variety imported from France in 1832, played a significant role in shaping Australian winemaking. Mudgee, where Pieter van Gent Winery is located, was among the first regions in Australia to cultivate this grape.
Pieter van Gent served as the winemaker for Craigmoor Wines before establishing his own winery in 1979, contributing to Mudgee's reputation as one of Australia's top wine regions. The winery spans a 100-acre estate, where a variety of grapes flourish, including Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay, Verdelho, Moscato, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Durif, and Sangiovese. These grapes are the foundation for their diverse selection of handcrafted red, white, rosé, dessert, and fortified wines.
The winery is particularly known for its fortified wines, with the Mudgee Pipeclay White standing out. This unique wine offers a smooth, luscious experience with hints of nectar, making it delightful whether served over ice with fresh lime, as an aperitif, or enjoyed after dinner. Visitors can sample the full range of wines in the authentic barrel hall, which also serves as the Cellar Door.

Write a reviewI genuinely wish that “selfish me” 😂 was typing from this truly beautiful & majestic place RIGHT NOW 🤩. It’s exquisite. Friends & I house booked a weekend in town in Mudgee & prior research (correctly) informed us “this place is a MUST”. I didn’t even know White Port existed, much less was created here! I’ve had theirs in my cupboard at all times (Never without it!) ever since. My liver & tastebuds & brain all prefer it over red port (which I still also adore). I’m not a Vigneron (if only I were!) but I’m from 3 gens of dairy farmers (horrible life, unlike growing up on a winery) & my parents’ place at The Pocket (Nthn NSW) was 175 acres, which I know to be “not that huge”. So I’m still positively impressed (read: astonished) that the brilliants here create all of these “unquestionable WONDERS” on 100 acres. YEP! They make all of this on 100 acres. That alone proves their skills & worth. Sincere thanks FOREVER. No matter who you are nor where you live - don’t worry if you can’t get here - pop into any decent large bottle shop in Oz (eg: Dan Murphy’s, BWS, any of the biggies, etc) & ENSURE you buy the white port from here. It’s not just for drinking - chill 30mls per dish & pour over vanilla ice cream & fresh peaches for an affordable dessert which will blow your dinner guests away with “something amazing we can do at home” 🥰🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈👯♀️👯♀️👯♀️🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇 xxx

The greatest experience! Jeremy was an absolute class act, a wealth of knowledge and so entertaining! After running a few minutes late on our tour bus and the previous winery declining us Jeremy and the team happily took our group in last minute after closing time and gave us an incredible experience, highlight of our day!
