ORANGE & DISTRICT WINE & FOOD GuIDE with cellar doors, farm gates, produce and dining

ORANGE & DISTRICT WINE & FOOD GUIDE Pick up a FREE copy from the Orange Visitor Information Centre, Cellar Doors and Farm Gates in the Orange Region, download it from our website www.tasteorange.com.au, or scan the QR Code. Scan the QR code with your smartphone (you may need to install a QR code app.)

In Orange, we make wines that people like to drink. In a world of warming, increasing pace and excess, Orange provides the cool climate, the patience and restraint to produce world class wines of balance and finesse. Like all of the world’s great wine areas, Orange’s unique climate and geography is the key.

9

Altitude is essential. As night falls in the warmer months, so does the temperature and the sun’s ripening work of the day is tempered as vines are allowed time to rest and reflect. This gradual process allows us to build flavours slowly and ripen grapes well into Autumn, a luxury that allows us to pick fruit at its peak. Soil too, plays a crucial role. Whether it’s the volcanic basalt of Canobolas or red-brown clay further afield, Orange’s soils provide a rich and fertile environment in which vines can take deep roots and thrive. As the world’s collective palate moves away from overripe, heavy and jammy wines, Orange is in a key position. The Orange area continues to attract some of Australia’s great winemakers – reinforcing the belief of visionaries before them. Cellar doors offer as diverse an experience as the personalities that pour their wines. More often than not it is the hand that crafts the wine that pours it for you with a smile.

In Orange we love our food. Food of all sorts: enjoying the widest range of quality restaurants in regional NSW, picking up fresh produce from farm gate or Farmer’s Market, local seasonal produce cooked to share with friends and family, or enjoying one of the many food focused events which are held on a regular basis. F.O.O.D – Food of Orange District is now in its 22nd year, making it one of Australia’s pioneering regional promotions. F.O.O.D Week is in April each year but you will find the region is tuned into its regional produce year round. We also promote and support the 100 Mile diet concept, encouraging our community and visitors to explore produce which has been grown or made within 160kms. This has benefits in terms of health and freshness whilst supporting regional producers. Another important initiative is the Orange Apple promotion. Orange is one of Australia’s leading producers of quality apples and you’ll increasingly see the “Taste an Orange Apple” brand out and about. A trip to Orange is the perfect opportunity to try and buy cool climate apples first hand. In the following pages you’ll find a range of options to explore and enjoy food whilst in Orange and there’s also a handy index at the back of this guide. Don’t forget to visit the Orange Region Farmer’s Market on the second Saturday of each month. Visit www.orangefarmersmarket.org.au and www.tasteorange.com.au for more information.

Canowindra Canowindra (est 1846) has a streetscape of outstanding heritage value, with its crooked main street following the old bullock trail. Country pubs and late 19th century buildings line the street, now housing boutique shops and galleries supporting Canowindra’s flourishing art scene. A chance discovery when a rock slab was overturned by a roadworker in 1955 revealed detailed impressions of more than 100 Late Devonian fish fossils - around 360 million years old. These fossils form the internationally acclaimed Age of Fishes Museum - a hands-on display and educational centre for people of all ages. A regional food and wine centre and a number of cellar doors showcase Canowindra’s burgeoning food and wine industry.

Celebrating a rich natural, cultural and man-made heritage, the region was traditionally owned by the Wiradjuri people with European settlement dating around 1823.

Why Orange? Orange was named by Sir Thomas Mitchell in honour of Prince William of Orange with whom he served during the Peninsular War in Spain and who later became the King of Holland.

A first for gold The first payable gold in Australia was discovered at Ophir near Orange in 1851 and thousands of people flocked to the diggings. Only months later gold was found at Lucknow, where two looming poppet heads from the 1930’s dominate the landscape.

Architectural era It was gold that brought the impetus to the growth of Orange and like many towns born of this era several landmark buildings remain. Grand stately homes such as Duntryleague, Croagh Patrick and Wolaroi mansion are a reminder of the prosperity of the region, while Bloomfield Hospital showcases federation and art-deco style buildings amongst several hectares of park-like grounds.

32

Banjo Australian poet, Andrew Barton ‘Banjo’ Paterson was born just outside of Orange in 1864 and spent time growing up in the village of Yeoval. The Banjo Paterson memorial park is at the site of his birthplace along Ophir Road.

Central NSW Museums Visiting the museums and historic sites of Orange, Cabonne and Blayney provides an opportunity to experience the rural lifestyle and mining history of the region. Displays of our historical past can be viewed at the Golden Memories Museum in Millthorpe or the Canowindra Historical Society Museum in Canowindra.

100 Miles for Orange....

Our region has embraced the 100–Mile catch-cry of local not global to promote sustainability, economic prosperity and to teach city dwellers the joy of eating seasonally and locally.

100 Mile Diet

The 100 Mile Diet concept originated in Canada where a couple pledged to eat only produce that came from within 100 miles (160km) radius of their home town for 12 months. Arguably there are fewer regions in Australia than Orange better placed to enjoy a rich and rewarding 100 Mile eating experience. Our bounty includes meat, fruit, berries and vegetables, to flour, nuts, cheese, milk, eggs and even truffles. Oh, and of course, wine.
