Overview

Orange has a long history of fruit growing - apples, cherries, stone fruit and of course grapes. Grapes have been grown in the Orange district since it was settled in the nineteenth century. The first commercial production of table grapes followed the arrival of the railway in 1877. By 1925, 450 acres (180 hectares) were planted to table grapes. The modern development of the wine industry in the Orange region began in the early 1980s and by the late 1990's there were 1350 hectares under vine. Read more

Orange has a long history of fruit growing - apples, cherries, stone fruit and of course grapes. Grapes have been grown in the Orange district since it was settled in the nineteenth century. The first commercial production of table grapes followed the arrival of the railway in 1877. By 1925, 450 acres (180 hectares) were planted to table grapes. The modern development of the wine industry in the Orange region began in the early 1980s and by the late 1990's there were 1350 hectares under vine.

The Orange wine region is defined as the area above 600m in the local government areas of Orange, Cabonne and Blayney and can be usefully described as a circle around Orange. The Orange region is good for grapegrowing and winemaking due to a combination of geology, soils, climate and temperature. Together these factors combine to produce grapes and wine of distinct flavours and colour. The climate perhaps plays the biggest part in giving Orange some distinct natural advantages - the cool temperatures during most of the growing season coupled with dry autumn conditions are ideal for grapegrowing.

The Orange Wine Region is centred on the city of Orange in the Central Ranges Zone of New South Wales. It is the newest and coolest of the three regions in the zone, the others being the Mudgee Wine Region to the north and the Cowra Wine Region to the south. The region is the highest in Australia with vines growing up to 1100m.

The extinct volcano Mount Canobolas, is a dominate feature of the surrounding landscape.
