Running from Friday, October 18 through to Sunday, October 27, there will be more than 80 events this year ranging from behind-the-scenes access to wineries, meet-the-maker opportunities, culinary experiences and wine education sessions.
Orange Wine Festival event manager Charlotte Gundry said the online program at www.orangewinefestival.com.au has filters so people can choose events by day of the week or by the type of event.
We've gone pretty much completely digital this year.

"It gives an experience that's much easier," Ms Gundry said.
"We've gone pretty much completely digital this year."
Ms Gundry said this will be the festival's 14th anniversary and some events will feature chefs from Sydney, there will be yoga, music, and hot air balloons.
Other highlights will include the Orange Wine Show Tasting and Masterclass, The Vino Express which will be offered across two weekends, and the ever-popular Night Markets on Friday, October 25.
The festival is also supporting The McGrath Foundation and will have a dedicated Rosé themed 'Pink Up' Wine In The Vines on the first Friday of the festival.
For the first time a second Wine In The Vines event will be held on the second Friday of the festival.
The theme for this year was 'Bud Burst' and Ms Gundry said it symbolises the start of a new vintage after months of dormancy through winter.
