Wines to fortify, invigorate, enjoy, warm and best of all leave you with a memorable taste experience. Sixteen wonderful wineries, each with their own history and expertise, you can taste by the glass and take home by the bottle, ensuring you'll always remember your visit to the Rutherglen region.

Don't just taste the wines - immerse yourself in the heritage as you visit the wineries from historic castles, to rustic rooms that house the gold of this region. Savour the full flavours of the area, be it fine dining, casual bistro or picnic hamper and, at the end of the day, enjoy the warm hospitality of an historic pub stay, cabin beside the river, motel or bed & breakfast.

Rutherglen is blessed with the world’s richest wines, deep soul and character, the powerful Murray, ancient river red gums, idyllic pastoral scenes and historic villages. It has cutting edge cuisine and homely meals, cosy B&Bs and luxury accommodation, great festivals and genuine characters.

It is a region where over 150 years of dedication and commitment have combined with a unique climate, skill, youthful vibrancy and sense of fun to create a wine region that truly is full of flavour. It is a gem amongst Australia’s wine regions.

For James Halliday, Australia’s premier wine commentator, it is: "One of the truly great wine tourism destinations".
