Overview

The annual Orange Wine Festival is back for its 13th run, with ten days of events highlighting the region's sophisticated winemaking from October 12 through October 21. Patrons can expect wine shows, tastings, dinners and educational workshops, all of which showcase the rich diversity of Orange's rich culinary culture.

This year's packed-out program includes over 90 events, which are open to all wine lovers, from the connoisseurs to those still getting to know their palate. The region is known for its cool climate which creates wines with bright fruit and deep, balanced flavours, making them some of the best drops in the country.

While there are events on every day of the two weeks, you shouldn't miss the festival's flagship Night Market on October 19 — over 50 food stalls and wine bars will pop up in in Orange's Robertson Park for a night of wining and dining under the country sky. If you want to try as many wines as possible, the Orange Wine Show Tasting on October 12 will give you a taste of 200 wines for a reasonable $60.

Even with all the events, you won't have any time to sit still — the region is home to 80 vineyards and over 30 cellar doors. We recommend organising a driver so you can drink it all.
