Wineries open up

Summertime Fling is in full swing across Macedon Ranges wineries.

Happening across weekends in the Macedon Ranges in January, 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 30 January, make your way to Lyons Will Estate in Lancefield for the last Aperitivo Fridays for the season. Join the team on the deck from 4pm to 8pm for a glass of wine or rose spritz and a selection of small snacks. Walk-ins are welcome for the event, with bookings not essential.

Also on Friday night, Paramoor Winery in Carlsruhe is opening its doors for a laid-back evening on the farm, perfect for locals, families and anyone wanting an easy end to the week. They’ll be pouring their favourite Paramoor wines alongside cold beer and a few refreshing summer spritz options. Bring your own picnic dinner but there will also be a small selection of snacks available as well. Drop in anytime between 4pm to 9pm, with dogs and horses welcome.

Finishing out the Summertime fun on Saturday 31 January, head out to Wombat Forest Vineyard in Denver for an unforgettable time with Music Amongst the Barrels Family Fun Day. Celebrate another perfect summer day with live local music, delicious food, award-winning wines, lawn games and more. This event is free to attend, with bookings not required.
