Whilst winter often brings crisp mornings and clear blue skies to Byron, there’s something to be said for breakfast served in suite - a slow morning, robes on, overlooking Wategos beach.

When asked to share a lesser-known Australian wine region to explore, Raes Sommelier Gabby highlighted the Macedon Ranges:

“Just north-west of Melbourne, the Macedon Ranges is one of Australia’s most quietly compelling wine regions. Defined by cool-climate conditions, high altitude and ancient volcanic soils, the region produces wines of remarkable purity, freshness and finesse.

Best known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Macedon wines are elegant, mineral-driven and expressive of place. Crafted by producers such as Alan Cooper and Michael Dhillon, they offer a true sense of terroir and reward the curious drinker seeking character and nuance.”

Pictured - Cobaw Ridge Pinot Noir, with notes of red cherry, violet, raspberry and alpine herbs. Elegant and expressive, with vibrant fruit and the distinctive mineral character of the region’s volcanic soils.

Today, we celebrate the women who shape us - the mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures who bring care, strength, and warmth to everyday life.

At Raes, Mother’s Day is best spent slowly - breakfast in bed, long lunches, something sparkling on arrival, and nowhere else to be.

We’re also thinking of those missing their mothers today, those navigating loss, and those on their own journey to motherhood.

Wishing all the incredible mothers and maternal figures in our lives a beautiful Mother’s Day. 🤍
