Orange F.O.O.D 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, now in its’ 29th year the Orange F.O.O.D Week festival is Australia’s longest running regional food and wine festival and delivers a rich tapestry of eight signature and nearly 100 satellite events held over 10 days each Autumn, during our local 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.
