silver compass tours: 'food + wine weekend experiences' #orangensw
DESCRIPTION
Orange is one of the most exciting emerging gourmet destinations in New South Wales. The district and its surrounding historic villages abound with charm, fine wine and good food. It’s little wonder that it was recently named in Australian Traveller magazine as one of Australia’s top five ‘Foodie Weekend’ destinations. Our bespoke and accompanied tours are aimed at introducing intimate groups of 6-12 to the delights of the region. Package include two nights accommodation, a welcome cheese platter + local sparkling, a welcome dinner with paired local wines, breakfast hamper, a 1.5 day tour of the vineyards and historic villages, and a gift pack.TRANSCRIPT
