Wine, gin and beer tasting in the Macedon Ranges
Use our tour business directory below for experiences geared towards foodies, wine and gin lovers. The Macedon Ranges has over 28 cellar doors, three gin distilleries, a cider house on a heritage orchard and two craft beer breweries. Gather the troops for a fun day or weekend away!
Love your wine?
You’re spoilt for choice with small group and private winery tour options in the Macedon Ranges. Taste cool climate wines our region is famous for, meet the winemaker and go on a scenic adventure on unsealed backcountry roads.
Our boutique wineries are tucked away on stunning rural properties and are largely family owned. The cellar doors are sometimes extensions to the shed – wooden floors, rusty corrugated iron and well-worn timbers. We grow some of the finest cool climate grapes in the land, and make exceptional wines; scarce and diverse in nature.
