Be the envy of your friends and be the dinner invitee that everyone is clamouring for, as you dazzle the assembled with tales of your October exploits in Orange. 

Even better take along one of your favourite drops you picked up while in town and watch them lean forward with hushed gaze, as you evidence your now encyclopaedic knowledge of the winery, the conversation with the winemaker, the terroir, the masterclass you attended and more!!

Where to stay - when in town??  Well, you can always stay with us of course, we'd love to have you.  Check our calendar and see if there's availability.

What ever you do, be sure not to procrastinate, the events are very popular and many are limited - so look through the 2019 event calendar and decide what you might like to do, get your friends organised, get somewhere tp stay and start planning.
