ChaLou Wines Tasting with Nadja Wallington x food by Cicerone Cucina Romana

Try the unique character of Orange’s high-altitude wines

Thursday, 27 November • 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

We’re delighted to welcome Nadja Wallington of ChaLou Wines for an evening celebrating the cool-climate wines of Orange, NSW, paired with bespoke food creations from Cicerone Cucina Romana. Nadja will guide guests through a selection of ChaLou’s handcrafted wines – an expression of the unique soils, elevation, and microclimates that make Orange one of Australia’s most exciting wine regions.

ChaLou is a boutique “bud-to-bottle” winery on Wiradjuri Country in Orange, founded by Nadja Wallington and Steve Mobbs. In 2025, ChaLou Wines was named Dark Horse Winery by the Halliday Wine Companion, championing the hidden gems achieving a 5-star rating for the first time. With a focus on expressing a distinct sense of time and place, Nadja will share insights into her winemaking philosophy, the story behind ChaLou Wines, and what makes Orange such a distinctive terroir for premium wine production.

The Wines:

2023 Dreaded Friend Viognier

2024 ChaLou Riesling

2024 ChaLou Pinot Noir

2023 ChaLou Syrah

Complementing the tasting, Cicerone Cucina Romana’s Head Chef Federico will prepare a series of bespoke snacks designed specifically to pair with Chalou’s wines. Drawing inspiration from the flavours of Rome and Orange’s seasonal produce, Federico’s pairings will highlight the texture, balance, and vibrancy of each wine.

Spaces are limited, and booking early is strongly recommended.
