A long weekend of food and wine in Orange, NSW – a beautiful region known for its incredible restaurants, wineries and delicious local produce. The perfect destination for a girls weekend away with my mum and sister, and for foodies and wine lovers alike!
Over three days, we made our way around some of the region’s best wineries, including Printhie and its gorgeous sunset views, Orange Mountain Wines (our personal favourite wines), Ross Hill where we also enjoyed a tasting plate, Colmar Estate, Mayfield Vineyard and it’s lovely farm setting with alpacas, De Salis Wines, Philip Shaw Winery, ChaLou Wines & Borrodell Winery where we spotted kangaroos in the vineyards.
Of course, it wasn’t all about wine! Some of our food highlights included dinner at Mr Lim’s, a wander through the orchards and a visit to the fresh fruit shop at Hillside Harvest, a fancy and delicious long lunch at The Union Bank, lunch and live music at The Agrestic Grocer, and a good old-fashioned pub dinner at the Parkview Hotel.
However, the absolute highlight of the whole weekend was dinner at Charred, where we enjoyed an incredible tasting menu paired with matching wines. Sadly, the restaurant closed in August 2024, but it was certainly a memorable dining experience.
Not far from Orange is the charming little town of Millthorpe where we enjoyed a tasting at Slow Wine Co and some beautiful red wines at Angullong Winery.
