The story

Orange F.O.O.D Week in Orange

This roughly ten-day food and wine festival spreads long lunches, degustation dinners, farmers markets and open cellar doors across Orange and its surrounding villages. Built around the district's cool-climate wine and produce industry, it gives direct access to winemakers, chefs and growers rather than following a single festival-ground format.

Orange sits at a higher elevation than most of inland NSW, and that cool climate underpins both its wine industry and this food and wine festival spread across the district each autumn.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Orange's elevation gives it a genuine cool-climate wine and produce identity distinct from most of inland NSW, and the festival is built around that regional specialty rather than generic food-festival programming

02

The mystery stays covered

Because events are run independently by individual wineries, restaurants and producers rather than centralised at one site, visitors get direct access to the people making the wine and food rather than a curated stall format

03

The city starts moving

Surrounding villages like Millthorpe host their own festival events, extending the experience across the wider Central West region

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first

Living ritual

Long lunches hosted at individual wineries and open cellar door weekends across the district have anchored the festival's format since it began
