Bus to Long Lunch

We are looking forward to seeing you at our Long Lunch in the Vines on Saturday, 1st March 2025!

Please note this ticket is for your bus booking only, not the Long Lunch. You need to buy the Long Lunch ticket separately and purchase this ticket if you require a bus to/from the Lunch.

We will be offering a return bus from Mudgee and Rylstone. Seats must be purchased in advance, and once it's full, it's full :-).

We encourage everyone to travel by bus so you can truly enjoy the day. We will have very limited parking, so cars don't block the view. If travelling by car, please let us know, and ensure there is a designated driver.

Please take note of the bus route and the pick up/drop off points, as it will affect where you can stay. There is no flexibility in the bus route as it is running to a tight timetable!

Please also be at the bus pick up points at least 5 minutes before the declared time, as it will not wait as that risks everyone being late to the lunch and missing out on wine and food.

The bus will travel from Mudgee to Rylstone, via the Lue Rd.

All bus collection/drop off points are located on the main road. The bus does not pick up from specific accommodation.

ACCOMODATION

We encourage you to book accommodation in Rylstone. Apart from being our beautiful hometown and we'd love you to support local, your transit time to and from our Long Lunch will be considerably shorter than if you stay in Mudgee (about 40 minutes each way)! Plus, our local pub, the Globe Hotel, will be pumping on Saturday night for those who would like to continue on.

Please book accommodation early, as it books up fast out here.

Below are some suggestions, matched with the bus stops.
