Boutique accommodations welcome visitors exploring the expanding winery map, artisanal shops, and farmers’ markets offering local delights. Elevated agricultural land around Orange creates prime grape-growing conditions, with Mt Canobolas overseeing the vineyards' prosperity.

Since the late 1970s, enthusiastic growers have established vineyards focusing on renowned varieties such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Today, new varieties like Tempranillo and Barbera thrive alongside classic ones, contributing to the region's reputation for crisp whites and light-bodied reds. Chardonnay leads among white grapes, often oak-enhanced, while Shiraz stands out for its fruity profile.

Additionally, Orange's exceptional sparkling wine ranges have not only earned recognition in the Australian scene but also continue to excite wine enthusiasts on an international scale, thanks to its unique climate, soil, and elevation.
