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.
