Summertime Fling
Cellar Door Festival 2025
The Macedon Ranges Vignerons Association presents the 2025 SUMMERTIME FLING
Summertime Fling is a festival of everything wine, food and FUN being held across the Macedon Ranges from 3th - 27th January 2025.
Summer is here, which means it must be time for a fling. Up here in the naturally cool Macedon Ranges wine region, we work hard for our summertime and we want to bask in it … with you!
So, come visit us for our signature celebration season!
Join us for a month-long celebration of wine, summer and good times in the scenic Macedon Ranges wine region, as we welcome back our Summertime Fling Festival for the fourth year running. Each weekend of the festival offers a different selection of events hosted by a number of our wineries across the region. Expect live music, outstanding local produce, good vibes and the long-awaited return of the Victorian summer sun. Most importantly, bank on our unbeatable selection of local wines, which are lovingly made in small batches with real wine-stained human hands.
