The Mudgee Black & White Committee for Vision Australia is busily preparing one of Mudgee’s most picturesque but largely unknown gardens to be open to everyone for one day only on Sunday, December 2, from 10am.
This is a rare opportunity to stroll through the garden complete with olive grove, fishpond, hedged flower and vegetable gardens, with views to the distant hills over verdant grapevines to raise funds to assist Vision Australia’s local sight impaired and blind residents.
You can spot the alpacas, guinea fowl, chooks and three resident border collies who call Miramar home.
The location has been an iconic Mudgee winery since its first vintage in 1977, the proud winner of over 600 medals for their wines and trophies both local and international.
There will be lots of activity, live music from Ross Kurtz and the Stringybark Band, Merri and Val Ryan, Andrea Saubier and more.

Delicious food options include barbecue, fresh hot pizza, cakes and slices, ice creams, Devonshire tea, cappuccino and wine by the glass or by the bottle from Mirarmar and Lazy Oak Wines.
There will be lots of stalls offering food, wine, books, local art and craft, patchwork, leadlight, jewellery, soap and much more.
Face painting and other children’s activities will be available.
A special Christmas stall will offer fruit cakes, shortbread and other Christmas treats for your own table or for gifts.
Mudgee Black & White Committee raises much needed funds for the 21 blind and sight impaired locals to help fund orthologists and occupational therapists a well as for iPads, screen readers and computers, some of which cost up to $7,000.
