Macedon in Melbourne
17 - 29 August 2021
Macedon Comes to Melbourne is the chance to renew the friendship, reacquaint yourselves and generally rediscover the most exciting wine region in Australia right now - and the best thing is, we'll come to you.
A small and tight-knit community, we are banding together to bring cellar-door experiences, guided wine flights, trade tastings, public tastings and a series of lunches and dinners to you and your customers over two weeks in August.
In addition to the classic regional pillars of high quality sparkling wine, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, a host of producers, young and old, are also crafting pristine aromatic whites, rosés that belong on restaurant tables as well as picnic blankets, and reds ranging from everyday quaffers to structured beauties for the cellar.
Visit us across multiple venues in Melbourne. Stay tuned for more information.

Macedon Ranges Wine Trade Tasting
MELBOURNE - 17 AUGUST 2021
Macedon Ranges Wine is delighted to invite Australian wine trade representatives to our upcoming Trade Day. Showcasing 17 wineries and over 50 wines from some of our region’s best, this tasting provides a snapshot of the diversity of producers in this somewhat undiscovered region on Melbourne’s door step.
Date: Tuesday, 17 August 2021
Venue: The Tea Room (part of the Supper Club) above the City Wine Shop, 159-161 Spring Street, Melbourne.
Bookings essential: This is a trade-only event for sommeliers, wine writers, wine purveyors, restaurateurs, hoteliers, etc.
The Macedon Ranges is one of Victoria’s best kept secrets, a wine region of hidden vineyards and passionate producers, only one hour from Melbourne. Macedon Ranges wines are diverse and exceptionally high in quality. With its elevation and wind-chill factor, the Macedon Ranges is the coolest grape-growing region on mainland Australia. This climate allows it to produce high-quality wines but generally only in small volumes. Situated on the Great Dividing Range, elevations range from 400 – 800m, the topography is mountainous and soils are varied - from granite to sandstone/shale. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Syrah predominate plantings, and as such, sparkling wines are common. Other emerging and exciting varieties include Gamay, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Gris and Lagrein.
