Rutherglen in the City returns to Canberra for a not-to-be missed showcase of one of North-East Victoria’s most vibrant wine regions.
This year’s festival, will feature 15 Rutherglen wineries all with something to taste, sip and discover.
Over the course of the day wine lovers, will have the chance to discover some of the region’s most sought after wines including Rutherglen icons Durif and Muscat as well as a host of emerging and on-trend varieties such Alvarinho, Fiano, Grenache, Sangiovese, and Tempranillo.
This year there are two tasting sessions throughout the day with festival goers receiving a premium take-home Plumm glass, and unlimited wine tastings from across the 15 pop up ‘cellar doors.’
With live music, a range of gourmet food options and award winning wines available for purchase by the glass it’s a great way to while away the afternoon.
Those with a thirst for knowledge will be delighted by the wide variety of learning opportunities including intimate masterclasses with some of Rutherglen’s most revered winemakers and personalities.
Saturday night will see the highly anticipated return of the Winemakers of Rutherglen five-course degustation dinner hosted in the spectacular surrounds of the Gandel Atrium at the National Museum of Australia, a perfect backdrop to what will be a celebration of fresh local produce impeccably matched to Rutherglen’s finest wines.
