Elevated Wine, Dining & Accommodation in Macedon Ranges
Established in 1989, Mount Macedon Winery is nestled on the western slopes of Mount Macedon at 680 meters above sea level, making it one of Australia's highest-altitude vineyards. Our commitment to crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of this region is rooted in decades of experience and a deep respect for the land. The winery, located on Dja Dja Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country, has evolved from a dairy and blueberry farm into a premier destination for wine, dining, and events. Under the ownership of Dylan and Elisha Grimes, we continue to prioritise quality and character, producing wines that embody the challenges and rewards of viticulture in one of mainland Australia's most demanding environments.Our elevated experiences include seasonal dining at UUMM and Cellar Door restaurants, curated wine tastings in The Wine Den, and luxury accommodation options designed for relaxation and celebration. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land and strive to honor their cultural heritage through our stewardship of the property. From our vineyards to your glass, every bottle tells a story of place, season, and dedication to excellence.

MMW was the most perfect venue for our summer cocktail wedding. The ceremony and surroundings were absolutely beautiful and our guests loved the relaxed feeling of catching up with people on the deck area. The team was so incredibly helpful and assisted us every step of the way with postponements and restrictions. We loved the flexibility of how we could style the space including having an outdoor dancefloor. I can't recommend MMW enough!

Beautiful grounds and wonderful staff.
Annette from the cellar door went above and beyond to help us out with a takeaway charcuterie board so we could sit on the picnic table with our dog. Great food, great wine, wonderful day!

We managed to get a table at short notice in the cellar door. Wine was outstanding. Menu was very good and lots of delicious options including pizza and platters. Service was a bit off and they mucked up our order / it was very delayed coming out but they made up for it. Child friendly and we had to keep our dog outside which was fine but confusing as no outside tables as we had read it was pet friendly but isnt exactly.

A wonderful lunch at this beautiful winery. There is an option of two or three courses. I went for main and dessert and my husband has entree and main. The steak and roasted beet side was superb. The kingfish ceviche was also amazing. We had an estate Chardonnay that was elegant with citrus notes. Then a lovely spicy, Shiraz. A cheese platter and coffee followed. Service was faultless and the views are wonderful.
