Time Out says

From April 1-30, the picturesque region of the Macedon Ranges will play host to a huge celebration of all things autumn. The Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival features a program of more than 60 events, workshops, markets, exhibitions, live music, foraging sessions and even paranormal investigations.

Eat your way through 50 heavenly pastries as part of the Autumn Pie and Tart Trail – aka Australia's biggest known pie trail. Both savoury and sweet pies will be available, including offerings like a butter chicken pie, American cherry pie, banoffee pie and a beef bourguignon pie. Yum!

Feeling thirsty? Take your pick from the new Tipple Trail, which will give you a taste of the best craft brewers, ciders, gin distillers, country pubs and winemakers. Or you could try the Edgy Veg Trail, which will see local pubs, cafés and restaurants create innovative plant-based dishes.

And be sure to pick up your festival map and passport – solve the mystery pie recipe and you will go into the draw to win a massive prize. Many of these events are free, but to find out more and book tickets where appropriate, head to the website.

After more autumnal fun? Here are the best places to see autumn leaves in Victoria.
