Cool Climate Tours, Winery Tours Macedon Ranges

Brian Field

Owner/Operator - Cool Climate Tours

Hi I’m Brian.

I moved to the Macedon Ranges in 2013 to live a healthier lifestyle and establish a small farm in Newham where my partner and I breed Wiltipoll sheep.

Whilst farming duties take up a lot of my time, my passion for wines and enjoyment of living in the Macedon Ranges was the motivating force that led me to create Cool Climate Tours.

Prior to Covid, I conducted weekend bike ride tours for over 10 years in the Macedon Ranges, Heathcote, King Valley, Rutherglen and Pyrenees regions of Victoria.

Now that the Macedon Ranges is my home, my focus is purely on this region. Typically in this area, the wineries are small so in most instances you will be speaking to the winemaker to hear their individual stories and taste their delicious wines.

With such close proximity to Melbourne it’s the perfect excuse for a quick day trip or a few days away to relax and recharge your senses and connect with some of the wonderful winemakers and providors of the area.

So whether you’re looking for a safe and reliable transport option for your wine tasting outing or something more in-depth, my knowledge of the area and of wines, (I have a WSET Level 2 accreditation), will enable me to offer a unique experience that will be fun and informative.
