Macedon Ranges wine country makes an easy escape from Melbourne, but this is more than a standard winery shuttle. The day combines cool-climate wine, gin, craft beer, food, and country roads, with stops that can include Paramoor, Hanging Rock, Big Tree Distillery, and several small estates.

I like the personal scale, with private groups of up to 13 people and larger bookings available. I also like the guides, Ewan and Shu-Mei, who handle the day’s communication and provide a relaxed, helpful presence. The main catch is cost: $781.80 per person is a serious outlay, and tasting fees of about $10 to $20 at each venue are extra.
