As Seen on The Block: Why Daylesford is the Perfect Wine Escape
Daylesford has long been known for its mineral springs, cosy accommodation and boutique wineries — and now it’s taken centre stage on The Block 2025. This year, five eco-homes were built along Raglan Street in the scenic Middleton Field development, just moments from the heart of town. Contestants explored all the best local spots while filming — from stylish shopping at Daylesford Trading Co to rustic Sunday dinners at the Farmers Arms Hotel. Even wine lovers got a cameo, with Winespeake Cellar + Deli becoming a cast favourite for downtime drinks and local cheese.
Our Daylesford wine tours give you the chance to discover the same relaxed charm. From Mafic Wines beneath the slopes of Mt Franklin, to the organic pours at Captains Creek, and the forest surrounds of Wombat Forest Vineyard, each stop reveals something unique about the region. Whether you’re here for a girls' weekend, a romantic escape or just curious to see what all the Block buzz is about, Daylesford is the perfect blend of beauty, boutique and bold flavour.
