A weekend in Orange

Over the weekend, my hubby and I had the pleasure of visiting Orange for two nights. My two favourite things about Orange were the spectacular autumn colours, and the people - they were so friendly!

Unfortunately despite there being loads of visitors to the region over the weekend, there was very little open - including the Vegetarian Restuarant, which was closed all weekend! :( You will find the majority of eateries (esp the more popular places for foodies) do not cater for vegetarians. So if you are vego and visiting Orange, it pays to do your research and maybe bring some back-up meals as we did.

• For a wide selection of delicious wood-fired pizzas, try Provvista Woodfired Pizza. It's also BYO, so bring along a bottle of your favourite Orange wine.

• We had the pleasure of sampling Bills Beans coffee at our accommodation but, alas, the cafe was closed when we visited over the weekend... D'oh! http://www.billsbeans.com.au/

• We stayed at a great little place we found online called Serenity Studio. This little gem of a place was so lovely, and we'll definitely be back. http://www.serenitystudio.com.au/

Among many, some other food and drink places to visit include:

• A Slice of Orange - http://www.asliceoforange.com.au/
• Printhie Wines - http://www.printhiewines.com.au/ (open Saturdays)
