Augustine Mudgee
About
Overview & Vibe
Augustine sits on 70 acres of vineyard, gardens and rolling hills five kilometres from Mudgee — close enough to be easy, far enough to be private. It is a country wine-country venue rather than a formal one, and its signature is an undercover outdoor stage built on the bed of a vintage truck, strung with festoon lights against the hills.
Setting & Style
There is no single ceremony spot: the venue offers multiple ceremony sites, each with a wet weather option, across the property. Its own photography shows a white pergola on lawn with the ranges behind, timber gates opening onto a gravel aisle, a vine-covered walkway, and ceremonies under an old shade tree. Receptions run indoors on long timber tables or outdoors under the festoons, with the truck-bed stage for live music. The rest of the estate reads the way Mudgee reads — rusting farm trucks, roses, corrugated iron and a stone fountain.
Ideal For
Couples who want a relaxed vineyard wedding that can go either way on format: 80 guests seated or 200-plus for cocktails. Everything is in-house — catering with fully customisable menus, a licensed bar with tab options, bar and wait staff, crockery, cutlery, glassware and napery, plus set-up and pack-down — so the day needs fewer suppliers than most country venues. The undercover stage means live music is designed in rather than improvised.
The Need-to-Knows
No pricing is published — menus are described as fully customisable and everything is quoted on enquiry, so budget conversations start with an email. Augustine is a licensed venue: BYO is not permitted, and it will not serve anyone under 18. There is no accommodation on site, though Mudgee is five kilometres away. The venue publishes no dietary detail beyond the menus being customisable, which is worth settling early.
Standout Feature
The truck. An undercover stage set on a rustic truck bed, lit by festoons, with 70 acres of vineyard behind it — a permanent live-music setup on a wedding property, which almost no venue in this campaign has.

Price Notes
- NOTHING IS PRICED, BUT THE INCLUSION LIST IS EXPLICIT — this is what the venue itself says it provides for a wedding: multiple unique ceremony sites with wet weather options; 80 guests for a sit-down menu or 200+ for cocktail style; FULLY CUSTOMISABLE MENUS BY ONSITE CATERING; bar facilities and TAB OPTIONS; bar and waitstaff; crockery, cutlery, glassware and napkin options; SET UP AND PACK DOWN; and bathroom facilities. For a country venue that is an unusually complete in-house list — it removes hire, staffing and styling logistics that most comparable venues leave to the couple. LICENSING IS STATED PLAINLY AND MATTERS: "Augustine Mudgee is a licenced venue. We cannot allow BYO and will not serve patrons under 18 years of age." No BYO of any kind, and the bar runs on a tab arrangement rather than being self-managed. THE VENUE IS NOT WEDDINGS-ONLY, and the other uses tell you about the facilities: "Music + Special Events" run off an UNDERCOVER OUTDOOR STAGE SET ON A RUSTIC TRUCK BED — "With our undercover outdoor stage, set on a rustic truck bed, live music events at Augustine are always incredible"; corporate training and events are supported by "comfortable indoor spaces, audio visual equipment and catering options"; and the venue also hosts after-life services, describing itself as "a private, relaxed and professional venue" for them. THE SITE ALSO PUBLISHES A VENDORS PAGE, listing the suppliers it works with — useful at enquiry, and a sign the venue expects to coordinate rather than hand over a list.
- NO PHONE NUMBER IS PUBLISHED. Contact is hello@augustinemudgee.com.au and a web form only. That is worth knowing before planning a site visit, and it is the single biggest gap on an otherwise specific site.
