During the 2026 Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival, and along Mount Macedon Road, Mt. Macedon, there are three enchanting Open Gardens available for you to visit as you take in the beauty of autumn colour and autumn leaves exclusively within three privately run open gardens.

The three participating gardens, Duneira Estate, Forest Glade Gardens, and Viewfield, have created a single ticket for Autumn Festival visitors to make the most of their day on Mount Macedon. Children under 16 are free with a ticketed adult.

When is the Mount Macedon Autumn Garden Trail ticket available?
