Rutherglen

Who are the Winemakers of Rutherglen?
Winemakers of Rutherglen (WoR) is an industry body representing the interests of 16 Grape Growers and Wine Makers from one of Australia’s most historic and iconic wine regions – Rutherglen. With more than 160 years of winemaking tradition, Rutherglen is one of the oldest wine regions in Australia and the wineries are largely owned by families.
The region is renowned for its unique wines with bold, indulgent Durif being distinctive to Rutherglen. This is also the Muscat capital of Australia, if not the world. Rich and opulent Muscat of Rutherglen is an international treasure, impossible to replicate, thanks to the unique combination of climate, soils, old wine stocks and the skills of the region’s master blenders.

What is the Dark Side of Wine?
The members of Winemakers of Rutherglen gathered and bought to life a winter festival that showcases our regional treasures - Muscat of Rutherglen & Durif.
All tickets are sold separately to each event with wineries and the community coming alive at night ( There’s daytime events too).
