Orange, on the slopes of the extinct volcano Mount Canobolas, is one of NSW’s great cool-climate food-and-wine trails. The high altitude gives crisp, elegant wines — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and aromatic whites — while the rich volcanic soil produces apples, cherries, stone fruit and cool-climate vegetables sold at farm gates and the region’s celebrated restaurants.
What to taste
Follow the cellar doors ringing Mount Canobolas, graze the farm-gate stalls for orchard fruit and cider, and book a table at Orange’s hatted regional restaurants. Time your visit for Orange F.O.O.D Week in April, one of Australia’s longest-running regional food festivals.
How to do the trail
Base yourself in Orange town and explore by car with a designated driver. It’s about 3.5 hours west of Sydney. Combine it with nearby wineries and Central West road trips.
