Looking for a way to make the most of your long weekend? This Tipple might just hit the spot.

This Sunday afternoon, Orange Cellars is hosting Tipple — a family-friendly afternoon of music, food and the chance to taste some of the best beer, cider, wine and spirits that our region has to offer.

Orange Cellars has long had a reputation as a hub for local wines and beverages, said Johanna Scott, who took over the business at the end of last year with her husband Tim.

 “But we thought there is so much more we can do with this business to really elevate these producers that we are working with,” said Johanna.

“There is lots happening in Orange at other times of the year, but winter can get a bit quiet, so we though why not create something festive and fun that people rug up and come out in the cold and enjoy.”

Tipple will be a small winter market day held on the grounds at Orange Cellars featuring eight local wine producers, local beers, cider and spirits.

“We will have tables and heating so people can sit down and enjoy some of the products they are tasting and then we will also have some entertainment so there will be live music Lueth Ajak, who is well known around town, and Matt Jones from MES entertainment will be DJing,” said Johanna.

“And then Tim and I are parents ourselves and we know that for an event like this you really need something for the kids, so we have a magic show, we have an interactive music session with the Early Years Music School, face painting and a jumping castle!”

Tipple will run from 12pm to 6pm on Sunday 9 June.

Tickets are $10 if you purchase online or $15 at the door. Entry gets you a $10 voucher that can be redeemed in the bottle shop against the purchase of participating products.
