Historic Kyneton and the vibrant village of Woodend fall within the Macedon Ranges Wine Region, which is one of Australia’s coolest wine growing regions producing many outstanding, award-winning wines.

In the coldest parts, close to Mt Macedon, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and our regional native Macedon (sparkling) are the specialties. The northern, more temperate area around Malmsbury and Kyneton is home to Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. There are over 40 vineyards in the area and most are small family owned wineries, with winemakers who are eager to share their passion.

The area also boasts an abundance of local produce from tasty cured meats to wild mushrooms, cheeses, and succulent berries. You can meet the grower at farm gates and bustling farmers’ markets or find a charming café or intimate restaurant serving the region’s finest produce.

Natural attractions around the Macedon Ranges include Hanging Rock, Mount Macedon’s heritage gardens and Regional Park with the towering memorial cross at its peak.

A diverse community of artists call this region home. They work in all artistic media, adding to the colour and texture of this vibrant region. Much of their work finds its way into local galleries in Mount Macedon, Malmsbury, Kyneton, Woodend, Lancefield and Gisborne.
