Mount Macedon Peaks

Each of the wineries listed offer a variety of food options to accompany your wine tasting. Graze to your heart’s content.

Begin your Budburst adventure beneath the dramatic backdrop of Hanging Rock, at Hanging Rock Winery. Taste award-winning Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Riesling while enjoying sweeping views of the Rock and surrounding bushland. Joined by Cold Acre, explore a wide selection of cool-climate wines that capture the spirit of the region. Refuel with hearty estate-grown beef BBQ or a platter of local produce as you soak up the scenery.

Continue to Hesket Estate, where family tradition meets elegance. Nestled among rolling vineyards, their cool-climate wines—particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—shine alongside wood-fired lamb baguettes and other delicious bites designed to complement every glass.

Next, wind your way to Mount Towrong Winery, a boutique vineyard known for its Italian varietals like Lagrein, Vermentino, and Grillo. Enjoy a tasting in the intimate cellar door before settling in with a grazing board or Italian-inspired treats, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. Take in panoramic vistas, sample small-batch vintages, and perhaps linger for a glass in the garden to round out your day among the peaks.
