Escape the Ordinary: Discover Our Exclusive Melbourne to Macedon Ranges Wine Tour

Had your fill of the mainstream trail? Eager to leave behind the crowds and discover a premier, understated wine region brimming with cool-climate finesse? Daylesford Wine Tours (DWT) is proud to introduce our dedicated Melbourne to Macedon Ranges Tour—a full-day tour and premium escape designed for the discerning traveller.

Operating every Saturday with convenient pickup from Melbourne CBD, this bespoke journey is your passport to one of Victoria’s best-kept secrets. It’s more than a wine tour; it's a day out and an immersion into the exclusive world of boutique, high-altitude winemaking.

The Macedon Ranges is not just another wine region; it is an appellation defined by altitude, precision, and passion. Located less than an hour from the city, this is mainland Australia's highest and coolest wine region, making it an essential day trip from Melbourne for those seeking excellence and authenticity.

What sets this region apart?

It’s cool-climate excellence. The high elevation and continental climate produce grapes with natural intensity and vibrant acidity. This is the ideal terroir for world-class sparkling wines, and the elegant, age-worthy classics that are highly prized by critics.

The region boasts around 40 wineries, with a strong focus on small, family-owned producers. This means every cellar door experience is intimate, personal, and authentic—a genuine connection with the artisan, not a rushed tasting counter.

Macedon is internationally renowned for setting the benchmark for two varietals: sophisticated Pinot Noir and complex, mineral-driven Chardonnay.

What can you expect from your all-inclusive luxury day tour?
