More than 20 premium wineries, food and tourism stallholders will be showcasing their cool-climate wares at this year’s Taste Orange @ Sydney in Martin Place. Grab the opportunity to meet the wine-growers, winemakers and producers in person for a friendly introduction to the region and an insight into what makes wines from the Orange region stand out from the rest. Hint: it’s all in the elevation.
Entry is free, with wine tastings and food available for purchase at the event. Wine tastings at the event are $8 per full glass (120ml), or $4 per half glass (60ml) of wine, beer or cider. Taste Orange @ Sydney branded wine glasses for wine tastings are available at an additional $5 per glass, and once purchased can be reused as you taste wines from the different stallholders.
To save time and to be able to jump straight in for cool-climate wine tastings, you can pre-purchase a Taste Orange @ Sydney Wine Tasting Pack online via www.wewilltakeyouthere.com.au.
Newtown’s favourite fromagerie, the Stinking Bishops, are hosting an in-store, month-long menu promotion of the Orange region throughout September. The Stinking Bishops team will also be joining Taste Orange @ Sydney with a stall featuring the best Taste of Orange Mac and Cheese this side of the sandstone curtain.
