The Winemakers of Rutherglen are an inspiring collective of 19 wineries from one of Australia’s most historic and iconic wine regions. Situated in Murray River country, protected by the Great Dividing Range, Rutherglen is blessed with cool nights, warm days and gloriously long, dry autumns. In essence, the ideal viticultural conditions for pioneering varietals that are uniquely Australian in charm and in spirit.

Tastes of Rutherglen is a progressive feast showing off the region’s best produce and wine. Travel from winery to winery to sample, taste and sip the incredible flavours of Rutherglen! The Winemakers of Rutherglen recognised a growing need for meals which catered to those with dietary concerns, and noticed there didn’t seem to be many gourmet food festivals that could fill this need. So Winemakers of Rutherglen thought, we can do that!

Many of the 19 wineries participating are offering gluten free, vegetarian and dairy free options for those who need to find something specific to suit their needs.
