Passing Clouds was originally established in the Bendigo region where Graeme Leith & Sue McKinnon planted their first Shiraz and Cabernet vines at the Kingower estate in 1974. Since then Passing Clouds has built a stellar reputation for its distinctive reds. The grapes are traditionally vinified to make elegant wines which are expressive of their site.Make Passing Clouds Winery a part of your Daylesford vacation plans using our Daylesford online sightseeing planner .
Now places at Musk,in the Macedon Ranges, Passing Clouds is renowned for producing world-class cool climate wines. It is the coldest region for growing grapes on the Australian mainland. Passing Clouds focuses on the varieties that excel in a cool climate - Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. At 771m ASL, the Fools on the Hill estate vineyard provides an extraordinarily slow ripening climate for producing intense, delicate and yet complex wine.

Small winery with nice wine tasting area. Restaurant was small but with nice ambience and views across vineyard. Meals were share plates and reasonably priced. Lunch for two was $70 with desert. more »

Came here on a wine tasting tour. Lovely wines. The cellar door attendant was knowledgeable but seemed bored like he would rather be somewhere else. I liked that not only could we see the barrel room from the tasting room but we got to walk through it to access the bathroom- definitely a highlight! We enjoyed an absolutely delicious lunch however our experience was a bit tainted by a very grumpy waitress. The other waitress (possibly the owner?) was super friendly and helpful. We had a great time playing bowles on the neglected course.

We made our second visit to Passing Clouds this past weekend. Lovely wine and amazing staff. Hugh in particular is simply a super awesome dude, he makes you feel like part of the Passing Clouds family from the moment you walk in the cellar door. My partner doesn't drink wine and even HE loves going there just because the atmosphere is so wonderful (and Hugh made it perfect by serving him an ice cold beer). Can't recommend this place enough, and please don't leave without a bottle or two of their Pinot Noir. Can't wait to visit again.
