Orange Road Trip 2022

Tourism hats on today with a glass in hand. We visited 3 wineries, 2 in particular were very nice. The wine is a lot lighter than the Hunter Region which was great as we only required easy drinking white wine this excursion to the wineries. I basically tasted every wine they offered no surprise there. The reason is they had a cover charge so it was not worth paying for John as he was driving and Frank does not drink much and he did not require any wine. The wineries in Orange are only a very short drive from town. So close in fact that for lunch we drove back to town before heading out to the 3rd winery. In between we took a short drive up the mountain to Mount Canobolas, from the lookout you can see Orange city. The view could have been better but a thing called National Park and trees made it a little difficult to see the view. Mount Canobolas is actually an extinct volcano. Still with our tourist hats on we visited Emmerville Cottage which is where Banjo Patterson grew up.Read more
