The di Lusso Estate Mudgee


Parla come mangi! – Speak the language of your food
"Over the years, since the early 1990's in fact, I'm beginning to think, and more importantly TALK about wine and food like an Italian. First it was grapes and olives, then figs I 'had' to grow on my farm; then herbs and vegetables. Earlier this year it was saffron. From February I'm 'going locavore' with the wine-tasting food I serve in my winery."

A Seasonal Report, Upcoming Events & October Specials

It's been too long since my last post but now I can fill you in on all thats new at the di Lusso Estate.

Mudgee has experienced its best winter rainfall for at least a decade, and there is plenty of evidence everywhere one looks at di Lusso and throughout Mudgee!

With exception of one frost "event" in late September, our vineyard is looking good – with budburst well and truly over. Olives adore good winter rainfall, and are looking their best for some time. With flowers beginning to form everywhere, we just hope that we don't experience the hot November winds that were so damaging last season. Our figs – being smarter than either grapes or olives (just), are greening steadily now.

This weekend, di Lusso Estate will be at the Mudgee Food and Wine Fair. Don't miss out Sunday 17th October at the International College of Management in Manly ("Saint Pats" to the locals).

Commencing at 10am, visitors can meet wine makers and staff of most of Mudgee's leading wine producers at that beautiful location. The food part of our business – Cucina di Lusso – will also be there, having been chosen to provide a "Mudgee Regional Tasting Plate" comprising produce from our region. We'll offer tasting plates of either Mudgee lamb from Botobolar or incredible organic beef sausages from Tinja Organics, each served with regional vegetables, Mudgee baked sourdough bread, di Lusso fig pastes and vinaigrette, and High Valley cow's feta.

Bring a rug and some water, a sun hat and Sunday newspaper, and head on down (or up!) to Manly for the day. We'll help to make it worth your while with a few SPECIAL OFFERS to both current Comune Members and those joining on the day!

Further down the track, we'll once again be staging our Australia Day Season of Italian Cinema – from Wednesday 26th January to Saturday 29th. Further details will be provided closer to the date.
Specials in October are:

Mudgee Wine and Food Fair at Manly - Membership attracts a 50% discount on our Regional Tasting Plate, a 15% discount on wine (normally 10%).

Visitors to Mudgee in December and January - Qualify for a free course (pizza or a la carte) with every case purchased, plus 15% (normally 10%) discount on our products.
