Visit the Macedon Ranges

Join the 2025 Summertime Fling Festival at Macedon Ranges Cellar Doors Summertime Fling is a festival of everything wine, food and FUN being held across the Macedon Ranges from 3-27 January 2025. After a few seasons of cold sunshine, the heat is here for real now, which means it must be time for a fling. Up here in the naturally cool Macedon Ranges, we work hard for our summertime and we want to bask in it … with you! So, come visit us for our signature celebration season! Join us for a month-long celebration of wine, summer and good times in the scenic Macedon Ranges, as we welcome back our Summertime Fling Festival for the fourth year running. Each weekend of the festival offers a different selection of events hosted by a number of our wineries across the region. Expect live music, outstanding local produce, good vibes and the long-awaited return of the Victorian summer sun. Most importantly, bank on our unbeatable selection of local wines, which are lovingly made in small batches with real wine-stained human hands.

Join us on Sunday's amongst the beautiful Glen Erin vines for live music, relaxation, and a refreshing drink while indulging in our Music in the Vines menu. 

Each week, we'll showcase a different local band or musician to celebrate the amazing talent in our community.
