ORANGE FOOD WEEK & MUDGEE HARVEST ESCAPE

Celebrate the flavours, stories, and colours of country New South Wales on this five-day journey through the heart of food and wine country. From Mudgee’s vineyards and charming villages to the bustling producers’ markets of Orange, this tour blends history, culture, and indulgence in equal measure. 

We begin with a taste of the Blue Mountains and the quiet charm of Rylstone, before immersing ourselves in Mudgee’s warm hospitality – sampling honey, chocolate, and fine wines, with a touch of history and song at the Opera House in Gulgong. Travelling through gold rush towns and Bathurst’s countryside, we make our way to Orange just in time for its world-renowned F.O.O.D Week, where growers, chefs, and artisans showcase the best of the region. Brunch among the producers, fruit straight from the orchard and cool-climate wines are just some of the highlights. 

We round out the journey in the heritage village of Millthorpe and the Blue Mountains, returning home with hearts (and bellies!) full. With every detail taken care of, all that’s left is to relax, explore, and savour each experience.

• Entry to Orange F.O.O.D Week with brunch at the Sunday Producers’ Market
