Mudgee's Wine Industry
The Ulan coal mines are in the district. During the 19th century, the area was a major goldmining area and the district also produces marble, pottery clays, shale and dolomite. The tourism industry is also a growing industry based largely on the wineries. A laboratory was established in 1987 to test meat for pesticide residues.
Mudgee has a greater number of grape vines in the ground than the Hunter Valley . The Hunter Valley receives over 200 000 visitors each year, Mudgee attracts only around 10% of that number.[citation needed]
Mudgee has a hospitality sector with many bed & breakfasts, cafes and restaurants which add flair to its diverse wine community.
