Just an hour north of Melbourne, the Macedon Ranges are the ideal place for a relaxing break from the stresses of the city. The Macedon Ranges area was opened up by the 19th century goldrushes; now the gold is exhausted but the mining activities uncovered the mineral springs that led to the growth of the spa towns of Hepburn Springs and Daylesford. Where miners once rushed to make their fortune, now visitors flock for soothing spa treatments, luxurious accommodation, scenic surroundings, a thriving arts community and award-winning food and wine.

Around Mount Macedon the temperate climate and mineral rich soil is perfect for viticulture and the region now boasts over 30 wineries and some of the state’s better-known labels. The area’s speciality produce and wines are celebrated with signature epicurean events and festivals such as Food and Wine Festival, Harvest Picnic and Hanging Rock Races. Artisans, craftspeople and migrant populations have brought skills and expertise to the area, on show in impressive galleries, museums and antique stores. Natural attractions include Hanging Rock, the famous backdrop to The Picnic at Hanging Rock book and film, Mount Macedon’s heritage gardens and the towering memorial cross at its peak, Trentham’s waterfalls and the extinct volcano of Mount Franklin.
