Discover the cool wines and warm hearts of Macedon Ranges winemakers at their annual wine festival, Budburst, this Spring from Saturday 16 to Sunday 17 November 2024. Budburst is a once-a-year opportunity to step behind the vines and meet the family-owned and small-batch makers who shape mainland Australia’s coolest wine region. Across the weekend, more than 20 Macedon Ranges winemakers will open their wineries and cellar doors to wine enthusiasts. From 10am and 5pm Saturday and Sunday, you can enjoy wine tastings, curated food menus championing local produce, art shows, sculptor walks and live music. Explore at your own pace or jump on one of the Budburst hop on hop off bus routes. This year Budburst will run smaller buses to more wineries, delivering participants directly to cellar doors around the Macedon Ranges. Additional details will be released soon. Please note that this year buses will only run on the Saturday. Festival and bus tickets are on sale from September 1 (early bird until September 30).
