Orange, New South Wales

Orange is cool-climate country elegance: vineyards and orchards planted on the slopes of an ancient volcano, heritage streetscapes and a food-and-wine scene that draws Sydneysiders over the mountains all year. Autumn turns the city's famous trees to amber, while spring brings blossom across the orchards.

Couples celebrate at hilltop cellar doors, historic homesteads and chic regional restaurants, with Mount Canobolas and patchwork farmland as the backdrop. Orange weddings feel like a long, generous country weekend — refined, seasonal and full of local produce.
