Autumn Festival Tipple Trail

Explore the iconic Autumn Festival Tipple Trail throughout April each year for a refreshing journey across the Macedon Ranges. Only during the Autumn Festival 1-30 April.

The 2026 Pie & Tart Trail will be launched soon. Until then, and for a small sip of what to expect, read on about what happened in 2025.

During autumn taste the Macedon Ranges’ cool climate wines, cocktails, liqueurs, craft beers, gins, sangria, and more, at over 30 venues. The 2025 Tipple Trail featured a signature drink at each participating venue exclusively for the Autumn Festival. Less than an hour from Melbourne. Planning ahead with a designated driver was recommended. Many visitors also use public transport, or stay a few nights within one of our charming historic villages and opt to explore by foot. From Gisborne to Kyneton, Romsey to Lancefield, Malmsbury to Mount Macedon, or leafy Woodend, Festival visitors were spoiled for choice with over 100 accommodation properties available. We loved the 2025 tipple line-up featuring a mouthwatering Apple Pie Martini, Autumn Bourbon Smash, Spiced Negroni, Autumn Twilight Cocktail, and a Chocolate Temptress Porter. A full list of2025 Autumn Tipples can be viewed on the back page of the 2025 Festival Map & Passport. With any purchase at Tipple Trail participating venue, visitors could collect a stamp on their Festival Food & Drink Passport.
