The Macedon Ranges, located just an hour northwest of Melbourne in Victoria, is one of Australia’s coolest wine regions, renowned for its refined, high-altitude wines and scenic beauty. With vineyards often sitting at elevations above 500 meters, the region enjoys a cool climate and a long growing season, ideal for producing elegant, aromatic wines—particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as exceptional sparkling wines.

 

The Macedon Ranges is known for its boutique, small-scale producers who focus on quality, terroir expression, and sustainable practices. Beyond wine, the area is dotted with charming villages, forested hills, and historic gardens, offering a tranquil, rural escape with a strong sense of community and artisanal spirit.
