Mudgee's historic clock tower greets visitors to its central business district.

Best time to visit

Mudgee's climate is different to its Hunter Valley neighbour, with longer winters and more hours of sunshine. Mudgee also enjoys lower humidity and less rainfall, but its autumn harvest is often a month behind the Hunter Valley's. Autumn, however, is still a pleasantly warm month, but not as uncomfortably hot as summer can be. Morning frosts last well into the spring.
