Ticketed events are now on sale for the award-winning Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival, returning in April with an exciting line-up of activities across the region.

The festival took out top spot in the Festivals & Events category at the 2023 Victorian Tourism Awards.

It’s an annual celebration of the Ranges’ vibrant food, wine, arts and culture scene in addition to the beautiful gardens and autumn leaves the area is famous for at this time of year.

Macedon Ranges mayor Annette Death encouraged both locals and visitors to start planning their itineraries and discover something new to taste, see or experience.

“We really are spoilt for choice when it comes to the shire’s diversity of local wares, the producers behind them and our natural surroundings,” she said.

“The Autumn Festival puts the spotlight on all of these.

”An exciting new addition to the festival in 2023 are the Autumn Tipple Trails including theTipple Train Trail designed for visitors to be able to leave the car at home, jump on the train and explore a range of local bars within walking distance to train stations.”

Adding to the fun is the Tarts and Tipples Passport, which encourages festival-goers to taste their way through the region and collect stickers along the way, allowing them to enter a competition to win an amazing Macedon Ranges getaway.

Passports will be available at all participating venues and can be printed from the Autumn Festival website.
