Having been in operation since 1923, Roth's Wine Bar represents a slice of Mudgee’s history. Roth's Wine Bar began in 1923 when Bob Roth left Craigmoor (now Orlando Wyndham winery) at 22 years of age to do his own thing. He purchased the historic terrace that houses the wine bar and originally set it up as a general store that sold, among other things, wine.

Roth’s Wine Bar is particularly well known for being the base for the Home Rule Band who performed at the bar one night a month for 20 years. They were often joined by local poets and impromptu performers

The new owners, Simon and Mandy Gilbert are conscious of the significance of the history of Roth's - Simon being a fifth generation winemaker whose family established the prestigious Pewsey Vale vineyard in the Barossa Valley. Together with his dynamic wife, Mandy, a veteran of the food and wine industry, Roth's has taken on a new lease of life.
