What brought us to put Orange on the list of places to visit on our trip through country NSW was its growing reputation for fine food AND wine.
One of our favourite pleasures of travelling is to taste the local produce, and it seems with any good food producing region you usually can find great wines.
We’d timed our trip perfectly as we arrived in town during Orange F.O.O.D. Week (Food Of Orange District).
This annual event is held over 10 days in April which showcases the local produce, the local chefs and restaurants.

Picturesque Robertson Park played host with over 40 stalls offering a range of dishes, and with communal tables set up under the trees there was a real community spirit.
‘Wine barrel’ bars were spaced out for those sampling the wines, and the local entertainment provided some background music and a lovely country atmosphere.
It was a fun festival atmosphere as we made our way around tasting various cheeses, breads, curries, fruits, desserts, and of course some wine and beer.
