Food stations will be set up around Lake Canobolas for the tasting journey and each station will also offer a chance to meet some of the region's finest wine producers.
While tasting the variety of local wines people will also get to try complementary dishes by Arancia, Nile Street Café, Lakeside Café and Second Mouse Cheese.
The final lakeside station will include live music by Clancy Pye.
Orange Region Vignerons Association president and owner of Nashdale Lane Wines Nick Segger said it is the "perfect finale for the Orange Wine Festival".
"It's an opportunity to showcase the exceptional work of our local winemakers, embracing the unique cool-climate winemaking that defines our region," he said.
Orange360 general manager Ned Sweetapple echoed his sentiments.
"Altitude offers both residents and visitors a chance to enjoy the delightful spring weather, relish local produce, and savour the latest wine offerings," she said.
This new Orange Wine Festival event is now in its second year.
The Altitude ticket will grant guests access to the roving degustation around the lake and will include return transport from Orange.
