Cowra Shopping Tips by tiabunna

Name of Shop: Mulyan Garage Cellars

It was late in the day after a busy car club programme, when someone suggested we head out to the Mulyan Garage Cellars to test their wines. Never one to knock back a good idea such as that, we promptly joined in and I’m very glad we did.

The tasting room in Mulyan Garage Cellars is in a former garage, erected by a former owner to house his racing motor cars in the 1920s. Outside, it’s guarded by a giant metal crab, fashioned from old farm items. Inside, it’s totally refurbished, only some photos provide testament to its former use. What a marvellous setting too, looking out over the vineyards. I’m glad it’s now open to the public.

Their advert says that these are award winning wines. I didn’t ask about the awards, but I certainly enjoyed tucking into … oops, try again… sampling the chardonnay, merlot and shiraz wines on offer. There are two ranges of wines, ‘Mulyan’ and ‘Bushrangers Bounty’. Both were enjoyable, but the line of bottles on the counter became steadily longer as we continued our sampling. You may be assured that I was doing all thish only in the intereshts of reporting on the exerchise for my palsh at VT! Hic!

In all seriousness, the wines were very good quality and value. We all took home several bottles and I’d certainly suggest you pay a visit. The MGC also sells a range of local jams, olive oils and other produce. I should also note that there are quite a few other wineries in this area to help add interest to your visit – the Information Office can provide details.
