A glass of Macedon
The region is renowned for its sparkling wine, with the ranges' high altitude and cool climate providing perfect conditions for chardonnay and pinot noir. Most of the local wineries boast their own label of 'Macedon', a term used for their sparkling wines but there is also award-winning riesling, cabernet sauvignon, and even shiraz, all produced in small-scale, family-owned wineries. Don't miss a visit to Hanging Rock, Curly Flat, Granite Hills and Cope-Williams. Taste their Macedon and look out for the shiraz and riesling too.
Arrange a weekend cellar door tasting at this boutique, family-owned vineyard producing award-winning pinot noir.
