Summertime Fling – Macedon Ranges Cellar Door Festival
Join the 2026 Summertime Fling Festival at Macedon Ranges Cellar Doors
Summertime Fling is a month-long celebration of wine, food, and summer in the Macedon Ranges, running from 9 to 31 January 2026 – a festival dedicated to wine, friends, and pure summer joy.
For four glorious weekends, Macedon Ranges wineries will pop the cork on sunshine-filled days and starry summer nights. Each weekend offers its own flavour, with a rotating line-up of cellar door experiences, from long lunches, tasting flights, winemaker chats, live tunes, lazy afternoons that stretch into golden evenings, moonlight cinema and family-friendly gatherings. You will experience unforgettable vineyard vibes across the month of January.
Set against a backdrop of rolling hills, fresh country air, and cool-climate vineyards, Summertime Fling offers visitors the chance to slow down, sip something special, and savour the simple pleasures of summer.
With events scattered across the region, Summertime Fling is perfect for a weekend road trip, a spontaneous day out, or a relaxed summer holiday. Whether you’re here for one afternoon or the whole month, there’s always something new to discover.
One month. Countless ways to celebrate. All you need to do is show up and let the good times pour.
