Orange and Mudgee

Orange and Mudgee offer two sides of NSW country life, cool-climate wines and high-country dining in Orange, plus a laid-back tasting scene and produce-led meals in Mudgee. We’ve selected cellar doors, restaurants and local experiences to help you plan a simple escape. Browse, book, and enjoy the drive.

Orange and Mudgee make a great pairing for a NSW country getaway, with two different moods in one trip. Orange sits higher and cooler, which suits crisp whites and elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Mudgee brings a warm, relaxed pace, with local produce on the plate and plenty of interest in Spanish and Italian grape varieties.

We’ve pulled together a shortlist of wineries, dining spots and food experiences across both regions that are genuinely worth your time. Each listing is chosen for quality, local character and a strong reputation with guests, so you can plan a weekend away (or a longer loop) without overthinking it. Browse the collection and build an itinerary that mixes tastings, long lunches and a few producer stops along the way.
