Just off the highway on the Sydney side of Orange is the award-winning Highland Heritage Estate. A restaurant, winery and function centre combined, Highland is the ideal venue for a leisurely weekend lunch or a picturesque wedding among the estate’s neat rows of grapevines. Housed in a converted railway carriage, sample Highland’s range of Rieslings at the cellar door before taking to lunch in the restaurant, where vineyard views combined with timber beams made from recycled bridge pylons, create an idyllic setting infused with a reminiscent nod from the past. The restaurant menu is seasonal and diners can anticipate dishes such as pesto fettuccine with sundried tomatoes, roasted pine nuts and Parmesan followed by a Highland Heritage chocolate cake with berries and cream.
