Overview
Charging headlong into its 2017 edition, Taste Orange Food and Wine Festival is set to take over Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel on Sunday, May 7. For six glorious, autumnal hours, you'll get to sip and sample Orange's best offerings, while soaking in all the harbour views.
Numerous wineries will be making the 260-kilometre journey coastwards for this Aussie Wine Month event. Topping the list are Rowlee, whose 2013 Arneis inspired a 4.5/5 glass rating in Halliday's 2015 Wine Guide; Ross Hill, whom Huon Hooke awarded Top Sauvignon Blanc in Australia in 2013; and Tamburlaine, whose organic wines have scored a stack of prizes. Also making appearances will be Philip Shaw, Angullong, Logan, Heifer Station and Cargo Road. You can definitely count on trying some spectacular Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Should you find yourself looking for food matches, you won't have to move. Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel will be setting up food stalls in the park and dishing up some nosh, from succulent pulled pork rolls and barbecue ribs to cheese boards and soup.
Entry to the Taste Orange Food and Wine Festival is free. However, you will need a few bucks on you to do some tasting. Your best bet is to nab tokens in advance — they're available online at ten for $40, which includes a free wine tasting glass.
