About Orange Area
Orange and its surrounding area are enjoying a growing reputation for rare and exotic produce thanks to its cool climate and rich volcanic soils. The produce ranges from stone fruits and sheep's cheeses to fungi and grapes.
About 40 cool-climate wineries operate in the area that has now become one of the most exciting wine regions in Australia.
Not far from Orange is Blayney wind farm, best viewed from Carcoar Dam which is also popular for sailing, windsurfing, swimming and fishing. In historic Millthorpe, you can take a self-guide walking tour, enjoy country drives or admire beautiful gardens in season.
