Wine flows summer long

Summertime Fling is in full swing across Macedon Ranges wineries.

Happening across January weekends in the Macedon Ranges, wineries across the regions are opening up their cellar doors in a month-long celebration of wine, food and summer.

Each weekend offers its own flavour, with a rotating line-up of cellar door experiences, from long lunches, tasting flights, winemaker chats, live tunes and lazy afternoons, with events perfect for the whole family as well.

On Friday 23 January, Lyons Will Estate in Lancefield will host Aperitivo Fridays, bringing you a slice of Italy right at home, while Paramoor Winery in Carlsruhe for their weekly summer feature on Friday nights.

On Saturday 24 January, head down to Wombat Forest Vineyard in Denver for an unforgettable afternoon for Music Amongst the Barrels. Bring the family along for award-winning wines, live local music, lawn games and more. Or you can head to Curly Flat in Lancefield taste some Carly Flat Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from 2000-2023 in different size bottles, with two tasting sessions running on the day.

On Sunday 25 January, enjoy a Mongolian Summer BBQ at Lyons Will Estate in Lancefield, with Charles from Gaea restaurant in Fitzroy. Charles will be cooking up a three-course modern Mongolian style BBQ for lunch, featuring home raised lamb from Lyons Will. Expect smokey, morish and fun dishes with Mongolian spirit, with lunch served alongside newly released Lyons Will wines.

Also on Saturday, Flying Pigeon will return to Hesket Estate with an Asian inspired lunch, and The Yatchski Brothers will take over Kyneton Ridge for a special live performance alongside the launch of Kyneton Ridge’s 2025 Skipping Rabbit Pinot Noir and a 70s menu by Ridge Cafe.

Summertime Fling will be happening across the Macedon Ranges until Saturday 31 January.
