Overview

Climb aboard the Bushranger's Bullet train this June long weekend and you'll be whisked away on a mighty adventure involving food, wine, art deco cinema, live music and country pubs.

Hosted by Silver Compass Tours, The Roaring Days Food and Wine Trail carries you deep into NSW's wild Central West. The shenanigans begin in a private train carriage, which leaves Central Station on the morning of Friday, June 7. It'll be loaded with wine and delicious snacks, including Dreamtime Tuka treats featuring native ingredients, to enjoy on your journey to Orange.

Over the next three days, you'll watch The Legend of Ben Hall in a 1930s picture theatre, visit numerous cellar doors and explore tiny country villages in the heartland of bushranger region. Oh, and you'll eat a lot — from dinner in an old-fashioned woolshed to a gin-fuelled Devonshire tea.

On Saturday evening, your tour group will get locked inside a country pub by 'bushranger Ben Hall and his gang' in an epic re-creation of an 1863 siege, which turned into a wild three-day party. Like the real event, the reimagining will feature live music, a barbecue and beers (but this time it'll only last a few hours).

Your ticket includes almost everything – most meals, snacks and wine tastings, three nights in a boutique hotel in Orange and transfers. If you're not keen to catch the train, you're welcome to self-drive. There'll be day passes available if you're only interested in Saturday's festivities, too.

Tickets for The Roaring Days Food and Wine Travel Experience start from $897 per person and are available here.
