The Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region is renowned for its world-class spas and outstanding dining options, but coupled with spectacular natural wonders, creative opportunities, and bespoke accommodation, there’s little doubt that this region is Victoria’s wellness capital.

I have the honour of working in a region that’s home to Hanging Rock…also known as Mount Diogenes…and before that, Ngannelong…or Anneyelong.

Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges are spectacular in autumn and everyone wants to join in on the fun. But rather than battle the crowded streets and private gardens on the popular Mount Macedon, why not opt for a more family friendly location with plenty of room to move?

Bridges of Maddison County, the modern-day love affair played out on the big screen by Clint Eastwood and Merryl Streep in 1995, was famously set against the backdrop the unique and beautiful bridges of the namesake county.

The Macedon Ranges come alive in autumn, as leaves change colour, and villages celebrate the arrival of the season…and we’re holding a festival to celebrate! Immerse yourself in nature, taste fresh autumn produce, enjoy world-class music and entertainment, and more, across nine charming and colourful villages.

One of the simple joys of visiting the country is throwing a few coins into a roadside honesty box in exchange for produce. Now a cul-de-sac in Lancefield is home to a new farm stall created with sustainability in mind.

Boasting sublime settings, an abundance of accommodation with fine food and wine aplenty, it's no surprise that the Daylesford and Macedon Ranges region is seriously sought after when it comes to ultimate wedding venues.

Summer has a habit of bringing people together, and after the year we’ve just had, the celebrations this summer are sure to be even more special as family and friends reconnect.
