8 | Mid-Western Living | WINTER 2026 Long known as one of Mudgee’s most loved cellar doors, Di Lusso Estate has always been about bringing people together. Good food, great wine and long, relaxed afternoons at the table. Now, with winemaker Alexander Lowe and his wife Claire at the helm, the estate enters a new chapter. One that honours its Italian roots while introducing a fresh perspective across both the cellar door and wood-fired pizza restaurant. Born from a love of family, food and wine, Di Lusso has built its reputation on connection. That philosophy remains at the heart of the experience, with award-winning wines crafted from Italian varietals that thrive in the Mudgee climate. Elegant, expressive and made to be enjoyed alongside food. The recent refurbishment of the cellar door has elevated the space, creating an environment that feels both refined and welcoming. Paired with their iconic wood-fired pizza offering, it’s an experience designed to be shared, where seasonal flavours and estate-grown produce come together with that unmistakable Mudgee warmth. Since reopening in March, the response has been immediate. “We’ve been blown away by the support,” Alexander shares. “There’s been such a strong connection from both locals and visitors. It’s been incredibly rewarding to open the doors again and see people enjoying the estate.” Alongside the vineyard, the estate’s fig orchard continues to play a defining role. A signature of the property and a reflection of the land itself. For returning visitors, much will feel familiar. The setting, the hospitality, the sense of place. But with new ownership comes new energy, and a thoughtful evolution that builds on what was already loved. Bookings are strongly recommended, and once you’re there, it’s easy to see why some places are worth returning to, time and time again. ____ 0480 628 497 dilusso.com.au 162 Eurunderee Ln, Mudgee DI LUSSO ESTATE An Italian-inspired favourite, reimagined
