BUDBURST is bringing together its 35th anniversary this year with a celebration of cool wine from November 14 to 15.
The wineries of the Macedon Ranges will all come together, open their doors and showcase cool climate wines, delicious local food and warm, country hospitality.
Not only that, Budburst will again feature producers who are not normally open to the public, while small batch wines and special releases will also be on display.
Twenty-five wineries across 15 different Budburst venues will open their doors this coming weekend, which will allow visitors to taste wines, hear stories and learn about why the Macedon Ranges is such a special place, set against its stunning backdrop.
Budburst is accessible to all, family friendly and with easy access to the region via V-Line train services to Woodend Station where festival visitors can connect to designated Budburst Bus Routes. Alternatively, visitors can forge their own path using the Budburst Festival Passport as their guide.
Festival hours run from 10am to 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday, with tastings, curated food menus, live entertainment and the chance to chat directly with the winemakers at every stop.
Tickets are still available, but are running out. Festival passes start from $39, while weekend passes are $55. These include a keepsake Plumm crystal Macedon Ranges wine glass, a festival passport that is your ticket to all things Budburst and wine tastings across participating wineries.
Designated drivers and children under 18 are invited to join for free.
