From safari-style tents on a vineyard to eco-farm stays and luxury hotels, cuddle up with log fires, furry rugs, red wines and starry nights.

Central NSW Tourism chair John Medcalf said the region plays host to a wide range of romantic and unique getaways.

"Choose your romantic adventure from an Old Chemist Shop in historic Millthorpe, an eco-retreat by the Lachlan River in Forbes, glamping on a vineyard in Orange, or a beautifully renovated shearing shed in Cowra," he said.

"Enjoy local food and wine trails, art galleries, historic museums, farmers markets and gorgeous country lanes."

Go on, why not get out and explore your own region and neighbouring towns this autumn and winter.
