Taste of Orange

Taste of Orange The premier tasting event in Orange, CA featuring food, beer and wine tastings from top local restaurants! Fundraising event for Orange Blossoms Auxiliary.

Taste of Orange is the premier Food Tasting Event in Orange! Typically held annually on the first Sunday of May, it features tastes of food and spirits from top local establishments, a silent auction, opportunity drawings, live music, and more. This year, for the month of May, in honor of Orange Blossoms’ 15th anniversary, we have organized a 15% discount for the entire month to some amazing local

restaurants and breweries in the area! This discount can be used for dining in or for takeout. All proceeds benefit programs of the Orange Blossoms. Hope to see you in person in 2022!

Meet one of our incredible community partners: Orangewood Foundation 🍊

Through our partnership, Assistance League of Orange and Orange Blossoms Auxiliary come together to host a monthly dinner and craft night for high school girls — creating a space for connection, creativity, and support.

At Orangewood Children & Family Center, volunteers spend time with children of all ages, providing emotional support, encouragement, and fun activities for those who need it most. The center serves as a temporary shelter for children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect.

These moments matter more than you can imagine.
One former resident shared that the time spent with volunteers was something she will never forget — a reminder that someone cared during a time she felt completely alone.

💛 Your participation in Taste of Orange directly supports programs like this.
Every ticket, every bite, every moment helps us continue showing up for youth in our community.

Thank you for being part of something bigger.
