Roam Rutherglen, it’s the place on every wine lover’s lips.

The Winemakers of Rutherglen are now emerging as Victoria’s most progressive artisans for new style Muscats, gins, Fianos, Malbecs, aperitifs, Iberian wines and more. The June long weekend festival is certainly one not to be missed.

The full festival program features premium tastings, live entertainment, and unique sensory cellar door experiences from 16 of our region’s wineries.

There will be something for everyone, from sipping on Muscat cocktails and dancing to live music, to connecting wine lovers and winemakers through new varietals and unexpected winemaking techniques.

Demonstrating exceptional value, the price also includes a branded wine glass, tastings at participating wineries , a food voucher to be spent at any of the participating wineries and non-alcoholic offerings.
