Orange Visitor Guide

#orangefoodweek #hattedchefs #finedining Celebrate: The Orange F.O.O.DWeek (Food of Orange District) festival is Australia’s longest running regional food festival and has been acclaimed as one of Australia’s top ten food festivals. Celebrating the diverse and excellent regional produce from the district, the festival continues to promote the region’s amazing producers, chefs, cooks, winemakers, butchers, shops with local produce, cafes, restaurants and all other food, wine and drink outlets. Pick: Known as ‘Australia’s Food Basket’, the region is a haven of vineyard-dotted hills and orchards. The combination of high altitude, a cool climate and rich volcanic soil create prime conditions for growing produce. Savour: For a thoroughly hands-on experience with the region’s local produce a number of cooking classes are available. Using local fare, learn to prepare delicious dishes from some of Australia’s top chefs and local producers. Or simply visit one of the many excellent cafes and restaurants in the region, which pride themselves on menus packed with local produce. /orange360_allyearround /Orange360allyearround 23 #farmersmarkets
