Our Story

A Family Legacy of Passion and Winemaking Excellence

Nestled in the heart of Mudgee, New South Wales, Pieter Van Gent Winery & Vineyard is more than just a destination—it’s a family legacy built on passion, dedication, and a deep-rooted love for the art of winemaking. Our story began over three decades ago when Pieter Van Gent, a visionary with a dream, recognised the untapped potential of the Mudgee region’s unique terroir.

With a commitment to quality and a respect for tradition, Pieter established a winery that would honour the land while embracing innovation. Today, that legacy continues to thrive under the guidance of the Van Gent family, who remain dedicated to crafting exceptional wines that reflect the character and beauty of Mudgee.
