Wines of limited edition

A glass of Macedon
The region is renowned for its sparkling wine, with the ranges' high altitude and cool climate providing perfect conditions for the production of the variety. Most of the local wineries boast their own label of 'Macedon', a term used for their sparkling wines. Don't miss a visit to Bindi, Hanging Rock, Curly Flat, Granite Hills and Cope-Williams. Taste their Macedon and look out for the shiraz and riesling too.
