About Us

Mudgee Explorer Tours began as a social experiment, following a trip to Peru in late 2015. I was impressed by the hospitality of the Peruvian people, and noticed that they seemed very connected to each other, and to their beautiful environment. I wanted to bring some of that flavour home and recreate a similar experience in Aus.

In acknowledgement of our roots, we now send $1.30 from every tour ticket sold, back to Peru to help my friends through the collapse of international tourism, following Covid 19. Domestic tourism in Australia is doing very well, and so we share our good fortune.

Mudgee Explorer Tours started operating in June 2016, with one Explorer and one minibus. Now with tweleve staff, eight minibuses and one guesthouse, we’re having more fun than ever!

Mudgee Wine Tours are our speciality. We’re Mudgee’s premier wine tour company for a reason. 100% relationship-based, we take you only to the wineries where you are treated as #1. Because great service is our number one priority. We choose staff who genuinely love people, and treat you like friends. So you’ll come away with memories to treasure for life.

While we try to take you to wineries where tasting fees are kept at a minimum, please budget $5 per person per stop, for tasting fees.
