Celebrating Orange wine with altitude

Orange wine. Not the cloudy, foul-smelling stuff.

Cool-climate wine from Orange in the Central West of New South Wales. 

The wine region will celebrate the joys of spring with the Orange Wine Festival, the program for which is now live. 

The festival runs from September 30-October 29 with events including behind-the-scenes access to wineries, dine-with-the-winemaker opportunities and culinary experiences paired with the region’s best wines. 

Orange is a wine region with altitude. 

The event will feature two new signature events this year: the Vintners Table and Altitude, both of which will provide guests with the opportunity to taste local wine in spectacular locations. 

Altitude is set to be the Orange Wine Festival's closing event and will be held at Lake Canobolas. 

Guests will enjoy a roving degustation around the lake visiting various stations offering different wines and foods from the region, along with live music. 

The Vintner’s Table is a series of intimate dining events where winemakers will host guests at a venue of their choice with fresh, local, and seasonal produce showcased alongside a vineyard's own wines. The winemakers will tell the story of their vines and share their own approaches to winemaking.

In a timely move, Qantas recently announced the launch of three new weekly services between Orange and Sydney effective from September 12.
