Rutherglen In the City 2019

Rutherglen in the City will offer more than the average wine tasting event—it will allow wine enthusiasts the chance to immerse themselves in the bounty of a whole wine region while discovering a broad range of wine varietals and unique styles.

Taste more than 100 rare and boutique wines from one of Australia’s most undiscovered and alternative wine regions. Discover something different at each pop-up cellar door and taste wine varietals that flourish in the region from 16 diverse wine producers, including cellar door exclusives. Try the world-renowned Rutherglen Muscat or experiment with its versatility with a series of Rutherglen Muscat cocktails. Explore the region’s most-celebrated red, Rutherglen Durif, and learn how each winemaker and generation has developed their distinct style; from dark and moody, to light and fresh.

In addition to meeting the winemakers and tasting a broad range of Rutherglen wines, visitors can expand their knowledge and their palate at a program of free masterclasses led by Rutherglen winemakers. Rutherglen in the City-goers will also be able to enjoy live music, artisan food, and stock up by purchasing wine they taste on the day to take home.

Tickets for the Melbourne events will be available on the door (no need to pre-purchase!)
