Venture out to nestle in

“Food, wine, fashion and stunning landscapes... Orange is the perfect winter escape.”

Orange, located in the Central West of NSW, is proving more and more to be an enticing destination to visit all year round. Orange is of course renowned for its highly regarded restaurant and cafe scene and cool-climate wines, but a 360-degree viewpoint shows every season brings a unique drawcard. With charming villages nestled in the open countryside, an abundance of natural beauty that is on full display no matter what time of year, outdoor adventures, luxurious accommodation, seasonal festivals and a burgeoning retail sector with high-end homewares and fashion, it’s no wonder the region is attracting so many visitors. It may be a little crisp outside during the winter months, but that only adds to the nostalgic appeal when you imagine yourself cosying up by restaurant fire places, being romanced by the brilliant red sunsets and warming up with a delicate shiraz in hand at one of the many cellar doors. The clear night skies by bonfire provide a starry night spectacle that can only be seen in the country and the foggy frost-filled mornings will awaken the soul.

Orange is such a rare and wonderful place and winter is the perfect time to nestle in and embrace what makes winter so special.
