ORANGE The first thing that comes to mind? The color, the fruit….

Then maybe you remember something about Prince William of Orange? There were actually a few Prince William of Oranges. This city in New South Wales Australia was named after one of them. We spent just 2 days exploring the Orange Wine Region that surrounds the city last October, while we were in Australia for the Wine Media Conference. This excursion was sponsored by Orange 360, in partnership with the Orange City Council. Michael and I drove from the Hunter Valley to Orange, as we had rented a car for our entire Australian stay. It’s a shorter drive if you are coming from Sydney, a mere 3 ½ hours and through the beautiful scenery of the Blue Mountains.
