After an aborted interview with Semillon guru Andrew Thomas the Plonk team drive to Mudgee, where Chris' disillusionment with TV results in a dramatic 'tree change'.

We begin high in the air above Mudgee with Chris taking in the scenery aboard a Balloon Aloft hot air balloon. The Lowe Wines cellar door is then the setting for a dinner that immerses the PLONK crew in the local Mudgee wine scene with David Lowe leading a wine options game. Johnny Furlong from Two Furlongs Wines makes an appearance and offers to train Chris's palate.

With filming completed, the Plonk crew host a party to celebrate the series' first screening.
