Taste Orange Food and Wine Festival 2014

Overview

Wishing you had time for a quick country getaway, but just can’t fit it into your ridiculously crazy schedule? Take a deep breath and write the words 'Taste Orange Food and Wine Festival' in your diary.

Orange’s growers and wine-makers know that we city-folk can’t always make room for the 257km journey to their town. So, in conjunction with the Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel, they’re doing us a little favour and coming to Sydney for a day.

On Sunday, May 25, Watsons Bay’s Robertson Park will transform into a mini-Orange (with the benefit of Harbour views!) filled with food stalls offering the best of local produce, from irresistible cheeses to dips to antipasti, which you’ll be able to pair up with one (or many) of a hundred or so wines.

By way of entertainment, there’ll be acoustic music from The Silver Lining and an old-fashioned, country-style apple bobbing comp. Keep your day at an appropriately lackadaisical pace by catching the ferry there and back. Taste Orange Food and Wine Festival is part of Aussie Wine Month.
