Located on The Escort Way in Orange, New South Wales, Heifer Station Wines offers an immersive two-hour Private Picnic that invites visitors to savor single-vineyard wines amid sprawling vineyards. This experience stands apart within the Orange wine region, known for its cool-climate viticulture and volcanic soil, which imparts distinctive minerality to the grapes. Heifer Station capitalizes on these conditions to produce six carefully curated varietals served in a dedicated Moroccan-style picnic space, an uncommon yet striking setting that blends rustic vineyard charm with warm, Mediterranean-inspired décor.
The experience begins with a guided tasting flight of six hand-selected single-vineyard wines, each glass telling a story of the terroir and meticulous winemaking. Guests are then treated to a thoughtfully assembled picnic platter featuring three varieties of local cheese, freshly baked bread, seasonal fruit, nuts, dips, preserves, and decadent chocolate, complemented by sparkling water and soft drinks. A glass of Heifer Station’s signature Genisse sparkling wine rounds out the offering, setting an elegant tone.
This activity suits adults seeking an intimate and laid-back way to connect with Orange’s rich viticultural landscape without navigating busy cellar doors. The picnic area, set among the vines, encourages taking in the open-air environment where volcanic remnants shape the terrain and native flora such as eucalyptus and wattles border the fields. It reflects a refreshing take on outdoor indulgence, blending sensory discovery with natural beauty.
