BUDBURST WINE FESTIVAL
14 & 15 november 2026

budburst is back and we're celebrating 35 years this spring! 

Once a year, the wineries of the Macedon Ranges Region come together to open their doors and showcase stunning cool climate wines, delicious local food and warm, country hospitality. Alongside the region’s established cellar doors, Budburst features producers not normally open to the public, small batch wines and special releases. This is a rare opportunity to discover something new and delicious, and all just an hour from Melbourne.

Over two festival days, in mid-November, 26 wineries across 15+ Budburst venues will open their doors, offering visitors the chance to taste their wines, hear their stories and learn what makes the region so special. It’s then time to relax with a fantastic range of food and entertainment options, all set against a backdrop of the stunning Macedon Ranges scenery.

Budburst is accessible to all, family friendly and with easy access to the region via V-Line train services to
Woodend Station where festival visitors can connect to designated Budburst Bus Routes. Alternatively,
visitors can forge their own path using the Budburst Festival Passport as their guide.
Festival hours run from 10am to 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday, with tastings, curated food
menus, live entertainment and the chance to chat directly with the winemakers at every stop. At just
under an hour from Melbourne, leave the city behind and discover one of Victoria’s most scenic wine
regions.
