Following a three-year hiatus, the Winemakers of Rutherglen will journey back down the Hume Highway this spring, returning to Melbourne for Rutherglen in the City on Saturday 1 October 2022.
The collective of winemakers from North East Victoria will converge on The Timber Yard in Port Melbourne for a day of unlimited wine tastings from 15 of the region’s best producers. Participant in intimate wine masterclasses and enjoy live music sets from acoustic artists and duos while indulging in a range of food options to pair with top drops including 48h Pizza e Gnocchi Bar and cheese and charcuterie grazing boxes featuring local North East produce.
Between 12pm and 7pm, 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 including cellar door exclusives.
Rutherglen in the City gives Melbourne wine aficionados the chance to immerse themselves in the bounty of the whole Rutherglen wine region. The world-renowned Muscat of Rutherglen will be on offer for those looking to discover the secret drink that sits somewhere between a wine and a spirit. Unlike anything else produced anywhere in the world, Muscat of Rutherglen is rich, complex, mysterious and full of flavour.
For those keen to handcraft and perfect their own unique blend at home, Stanton & Killeen Wines will run a free Liquid Luxury masterclass for home barrel enthusiasts. Learn the art of sipping, swishing, blending, and testing from seventh generation winemakers. There will also be other masterclasses to attend across the day.
