The Wings, Wheels and Wine weekend escape is the perfect getaway for lovers of a good drop and vintage machinery.
Scott McGregor's Railway Adventures is offering an amazing travel package to the Mudgee Wings, Wheels and Wine air show from April 25-27 next year.
The package includes a rare opportunity to travel by private train from Sydney to Mudgee on the scenic Mudgee Branch Line, which is usually inaccessible.
Passengers will travel on the retro-restored Capertee Valley Explorer.
The deal also includes accommodation at one of several local hotels and resorts and several short tours of Mudgee.
Also known as The Blue Zephyr, the train is made up of carriages and the Dining and Bar cars from the Southern Aurora, which plied the tracks from the 1960s.
The journey will take passengers over the Blue Mountains, around the stunning Capertee Valley and on to Rylstone for a sit-down lunch.
Passengers will then be transported in comfortable carriages to the food and wine lovers' paradise that is the historical town of Mudgee.
After freshening up, it's off to the Lowe Wines estate for an evening of wine, food and music with catering by award-winning chef and owner of The Zin House, Kim Currie.
After breakfast on the second day, there's time for short tours which will give an insight into the town's history and the surrounding wine growing area.
After a wander around town and a coffee, the group will head out to Mudgee Airport for the air show - checking out an impressive collection of warbirds, vintage machines and vehicles, and enjoying fly pasts.
In the late afternoon, the group will head north to Cooks Gap on the Great Dividing Range for a sunset soiree reception at Scott McGregor's railway-themed retreat Ruwenzori before returning to accommodation.
The retreat comprises of a number of vintage railway carriages, set among themed gardens and showcasing a range of memorabilia.
The next morning, the group will head to the former cement making industrial hub of Kandos to explore its museum before morning tea at the old railway station and boarding for the journey home, complete with three-course lunch.
