The Huddle Breakfast Forage Walk

Forging connections amongst Printhie's vineyard and orchard

Celebrating its fourth year in 2024, The Huddle is a weekend of learning and inspiration for businesswomen held in Orange, NSW. Women from all across Australia gather to hear motivational stories and expert advice from a handpicked lineup of female entrepreneurs.

A feature satellite event of The Huddle Conference is the bespoke Breakfast Forage Walk, an optional buy-in activity. In 2023, it was staged for 170 participants at the stunning Printhie Wines Estate. This roving breakfast event involves a curated stroll through the vineyards and orchards, providing an opportunity for delegates, VIP speakers, and mentors to network in a friendly and relaxed environment.

During the Breakfast Forage Walk at Printhie Wines, participants were guided along a scenic three-kilometre trail through apple orchards and vineyards, with four food and wine stations strategically placed along the route. These stations, including the Apple Packing Shed, the Cellar Door, a coffee van area, and the final 'Pastry Point', offered a delightful array of breakfast treats and perfectly matched wines, such as Printhie’s Sparkling Vintage Brut and Swift Sparkling Rosé. Additionally, guests could enjoy spritzers made from aromatic Printhie grapes. After the walk, participants had the option to relax at the Cellar Door, where they could enjoy optional oyster and cheese platters accompanied by Printhie wines.

A highlight was Printhie Wines' innovative oyster tank, showcasing cutting-edge marine technology and offering guests a unique dining experience.

The Huddle Breakfast Forage Walk ensured sustainability by offering recyclable or compostable items, providing delegates with branded ‘The Huddle’ glasses as keepsakes, avoiding the use of plastics, and recycling wine glass lanyards for future events.

"Every year we host a breakfast forage at Printhie and it is always a highlight! Besides the beautiful view and the well-kept vineyard, the Printhie staff go above and beyond to ensure the event runs smoothly. The attention to detail sets Printhie above others - they honestly think of everything! We can't wait for them to host our next event!" Jess Conliffe, Organiser of The Huddle by Jumbled Online
