Based in the heart of the Central Western region, Orange is famous for excellent food and wine with our local vineyards regularly winning awards nationally and internationally. Alongside good wine comes spectacular food, and Orange has a flourishing gourmet restaurant and cafe culture that’s sure to delight your tastebuds, if not your waistline.

If you’re ready to live in a safe, rural environment with the amenities of a regional centre, Orange is a terrific place to live and raise a family. And did we mention the lack of traffic?
