BUDBURST Macedon Ranges Wine Festival 2025

Get lost to discover the world's most mysterious wine region.

Budburst is back for another fabulous weekend. Taking place Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 November 2025, this is your once-a-year opportunity to go beyond the cellar door, sip rare wines you won’t find anywhere else, and meet the passionate people who craft some of Australia’s most exciting cool-climate wines.

At Budburst, you don’t just taste wine… You wander. You wonder. You get a little lost and you discover something rare & unforgettable.

Over two festival days, more than 20 winemakers across 15+ Budburst venues will open their doors to offer wine tastings and share their stories. From established icons to hidden gems, Budburst is all about connection—between the makers, the wines, and you. 

Just under an hour from Melbourne, but a world away from ordinary, Budburst is a must for wine enthusiasts, culture seekers and weekend wanderers Victoria wide and beyond to get lost in the wine, the produce and the magic of Macedon Ranges. Festival hours run from 10am to 5pm each day, with tastings, curated food menus, and the chance to chat directly with the winemakers at every stop.
