Ferment - Orange Wine Centre + Wine Store

Housed in a carefully preserved heritage building, Ferment, the Orange Wine Centre, has a sleek contemporary European interior emphatically announcing that the Orange wine scene has arrived. Traditionally a more boutique region than some of Australia’s major wine-producing belts, Orange has retained its historic charm and interest while quietly benefiting from modern winemaking methods. Now Ferment’s state-of-the-art Enomatic wine dispenser allows visitors to sample and purchase a range of exceptional local wines, all carefully curated by The Wine Man himself, Peter Bourne. The official cellar door for Cook's Lot, Carillion Wines and Topers, Ferment’s full selection showcases wines from the Central Ranges of NSW and beyond, inviting patrons to experience a wide range of local wines while exploring the heart of Orange. The township is an excellent place to start your wine tour, with Ferment’s wine list the perfect introduction to the region’s greatest drops. As with any dedicated wine venue serious about its mission, matching the wines with a delicious array of gourmet seasonal produce is one of Ferment’s understated strengths. Settle in with your chosen glass of wine, an ever-changing cheese board, charcuterie plate and tasty tapas. Local gourmet produce including Kangaroombie Vinegar Brewery’s barrel-aged vinegar and other artisanal edibles are also available. Better yet, buy a bottle, hire a bike, pack a Ferment gourmet hamper and find yourself a pretty spot in the countryside for the perfect picnic.
