Across the weekend, more than 25 Macedon Ranges winemakers will open their wineries and cellar doors from 10am to 5pm for wine tastings along with curated food menus championing local produce, art shows, sculptor walks and live music.

For the first time, Budburst will roll out over three days with an expanded program kicking off on Friday 18 November with the inaugural Budburst Blooms. Between 5:30pm and 7:30pm, celebrate the festival opening as Budburst Blooms brings pop-up cellar doors from wineries off the beaten path to three hubs in Lancefield, Woodend and Kyneton.
