Summertime Fling

Summertime Fling

Cellar Door Festival 2023

The Macedon Ranges Vignerons Association presents the

2023 SUMMERTIME FLING

Summertime Fling is a festival of everything wine, food and FUN being held across the Macedon Ranges from 7th - 29th January 2023.

After a year of seemingly endless rain, summertime has finally arrived. And here in the Macedon Ranges, we are ready to celebrate!
Join us for a month-long celebration of wine, summer and good times in the scenic Macedon Ranges, as we welcome back our Summertime Fling Festival for the third year running. Originally conceived as a way to support the wineries and connect with our customers in between Covid-lockdowns, we quickly realised it was an event worth keeping. Each weekend of the festival offers a different selection of events hosted by a number of our wineries across the region.
