1. Paramoor Winery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 33 reviews
Paramoor Winery was established in 2005 by Will Fraser, and is already one of the most popular and awarded wineries in the Macedon Ranges.A boutique operation, Paramoor Winery is not about mass production. Quality always comes before quantity – and there is quality in everything the winery does. From the meticulous selection of grapes for Paramoor’s wine, to the perfectly elegant homemade pizzas that are served at the cellar door, every detail is considered… and the results speak for themselves. In just a short time Paramoor’s wines have attracted international recognition, with high praise coming from the likes of Australia’s most recognised wine critic, James Halliday, who has awarded Paramoor 5 stars and called Paramoor an ‘excellent producer of very high quality wines’ and has judged several Paramoor wines to be among the best in the nation. Paramoor Winery’s cellar door tasting and sales area, converted from old stables, draws a crowd as much for its relaxed ambience and thoughtful displays of history, as for its outstanding wines and pizza. A visit to Paramoor is a must for anyone touring the picturesque Macedon Ranges. Paramoor Winery ….. award winning wines, great food, and a cellar door that is fast becoming the most talked about in the region.

This is a rustic experience that we loved. Wine tasting is in a large barn on an old couch with few visitors to compete with. The owner loves his craft and is happy to take visitors through his range. We enjoyed the pinots, both red and white, and left with a case at $25 per bottle. Very enjoyable

Had seen the PSFco on TV a few weeks ago and was determined to visit to pick up a pork pie. Was not disappointed the pork pie delicious with crisp outer pastry and beautiful pork and aspic filling. We also picked up terrine and rillette equally delicious. Brianna is delightful and happy to show you around and discuss the produce. Will definitely be back for more produce. Don't drive by go in and support local producers creating beautiful produce.

Went to one of Curly Flat’s amazing lunches with Frank Camorra and the MoVida team. The food and wines were superb. The day was perfect and the winery was looking lovely. Particular favourites were the 2017 Pinot Noir and a back vintage of 2011 Chardonnay. Jeni and the team could not do enough to make everyone welcome.

The wines by the glass change every week, with a unique selection of craft beer on tap, cocktails made to order and delicious cheese and charcuterie plates to share. Sit back on the soft leather chairs and share a bottle from the Wine Store with a friend, or on a sunny afternoon the deck is a lovely spot to watch the world go by with an spritz or two. Open every day from 1pm till late, enter via the Woodend Wine Store.

We dropped in for a pre-dinner drink on a cold night. The establishment is warm, cosy and casual with really friendly staff. The range of drinks choices was excellent, and we enjoyed ourselves so much we ended up late for our dinner reservation. Well worth the visit, and some different offerings from the usual.

Beautiful area. Stunning views and lovely open gardens. Great place to visit for a stay or just to look at the wonderful garden displays.
7. Malmsbury Viaduct

I have been across this viaduct numerous times on a V/Line train but when we visited midweek during November 2020, my friend and I found that V/Line had shut the line for 15 days for maintenance. Going by the demeanour of 'workers' near Elphinstone sttaion, not much work was occurring, typical for an organisation that ha slost its focus with the recent sacking of its CEO for alleged corruption. The viaduct is best viewed from a minor road off the old Calder Highway that leads to a nature reserve, and then one can walk along a track adjacent to the famous aqueduct that we were pleased to see is flowing (in previous years it has often lacked any water, but rainfall in 2020 has been excellent). The resultant photos are worthwhile. Standing underneath the viaduct makes one wonder at how incredibly bright the railway engineers were in 1860, given that they lacked today's surveying and heavy earthmoving equipment. The navvies had to rely upon picks, shovels and backbreaking labour, and scaffolding compared to today's was probably dangerous and we would say substandard. But they perservered with this 'main line' being built to a wonderfully high standard although it caused a financial drain on the accounts of the post-gold rush colony of Victoria. These men who built the railway deserve our huge thanks.
