Rutherglen

There are evenings you talk about for years. This is one of them.

On opening night, the Winemakers of Rutherglen bring the whole region together for one extraordinary evening. All 17 Rutherglen wineries unite at the heritage-listed All Saints Estate, where the grounds begin to glow as dusk settles over the Murray River and the last light slips behind the vines. Castle-built and steeped in 160 years of award-winning winemaking history, the estate is the setting; the region is the story.

As twilight deepens, thousands of candles transform the estate's Cask Hall into a mesmerising sea of light. Part of the world-renowned Fever Candlelight series, a live string quartet performs a program of Ed Sheeran and Coldplay reimagined by candlelight, the music echoing through one of Victoria's most iconic winery estates. A wine glass is included with every ticket, and wine is available by the glass to sip during the performance.

After the performance, stay on at All Saints Estate and dine at KIN, the estate's restaurant, open especially for the occasion, or head back into town to continue the evening at one of Rutherglen's other beautiful venues, including The Victoria Hotel Rutherglen, Thousand Pound or GRACE bar+eatery.

Capacity is strictly limited.
