Daylesford Macedon Produce Harvest Festival is a celebration of harvest – a practice dating back to a time when the success of local crops dictated the lives of people and whole communities. Celebrate with us.

Taste your way around the region with twenty regional tasting plates and their matched local tipples. Visit farm gates and cellar doors for Harvest ‘specials’ or shop with the locals at farmer’s markets. Join us at forums on sustainable communities, special winemakerand chef’s dinners and classes in everything from composting, preserving to bread making.

As you travel across this beautiful region, keep a look out for our Daylesford Macedon Produce farm gate sign. There you’ll meet the passionate locals who care about issues of sustainability and are committed to growing, producing and serving excellent local food and wine.
