Orange FOOD WEEK is leading the way in Culinary Tourism

What started out as an idea dreamt up by a small group of passionate local foodies three decades ago to showcase the provenance and rich diversity of the Orange region's produce and to celebrate its producers and vignerons, has blossomed into a festival of national standing.

From humble beginnings in 1991, the Orange FOOD (Food Of Orange District) Week festival is now Australia’s longest running regional food and wine festival and delivers a rich tapestry of events held over 10 days each March/April, during our local Autumn harvest and vintage season.

It is a celebration of the region’s abundance, embracing an ethos of sustainable practices and community spirit, and in 2018 became Australia’s first globally ISO 20121-certified food and wine Sustainable Event.

We are committed to championing the provenance of the Orange region’s produce, celebrating our local heroes and positioning the region as one of Australia’s most aspirational culinary tourism destinations – where every week is food and wine week.
