The Taste of Orange Comes to Sydney

Orange has more delicious produce and wines than almost any region in NSW. The area’s high altitude, cool climate and rich volcanic soils work like magic for local producers, making it the perfect growing environment. Usually you would have to drive for several hours to experience the goodness of Orange, but this month the goodness comes to you, as Taste Orange bringing the region’s best wine and food to Sydney.

On August 21-22, Martin Place will offer tastings, cooking demonstrations, discussions and live music from the town’s culinary elite. Arrive between 11.30am and 2.30pm to sample the region’s plumpest fruits, olives and meats at the farmers market and watch Orange local and Master Chef winner, Kate Bracks, host a live cooking demonstration using local ingredients. There will be a Millamolong Polo lounge in the evenings where you can chill and enter a draw to win tickets for you and nine friends to visit the state’s premier polo tournament on a bus named ‘Driving Force’.

Return at 5pm for an outdoor pop-up bar serving the region’s award winning wine at $7 a glass. The bar will feature 24 of the region’s best wines, including Citibank NSW Wine Award winners Logan, and Angullong, whose Cabernet Merlot and Shiraz were featured on the 40 best wines of the state. If you want to learn more about the region’s premium wine and food production, Bracks, the farmers and the winemakers will be happy to chat.

You may not be surrounded by the colours of the state’s Central West but Taste Orange will provide a rare opportunity to taste and buy produce straight from the makers themselves.
