Following successful events in Canberra and Melbourne, the Winemakers of Rutherglen are bringing their Rutherglen in the City wine tasting event to Albury's QEII Square on November 9. The collective of winemakers from nearby Rutherglen will turn QEII Square into a little slice of wine paradise from 2pm to 7pm.
Locals can come and experience the magic of Rutherglen firsthand and immerse themselves in the bounty of the entire Rutherglen wine region, while discovering a broad range of wine varietals and unique styles that are right on their doorstep.
Worried about the little ones? Don't be, with a petting zoo, giant games and face painting, there are activities aplenty to keep them entertained while you enjoy a bottle of wine and a cheese platter with friends.
Taste more than 100 rare and boutique wines, including cellar door exclusives from 16 pop-up cellar doors. Let your senses loose as you explore all of the varietals that flourish in the region, from heavenly sparkling whites and reds to crowd-favourite rosé and Rutherglen's famous fortifieds.
Venture to the dark side of wine and try the world-renowned Muscat of Rutherglen; a secret drink that sits somewhere between a wine and spirit. Unlike anything else produced anywhere in the world, Muscat of Rutherglen is rich, complex, mysterious and full of flavour. Try it on its own, served over ice as an aperitif, 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 a distinct style; from dark and moody, to light and fresh.
Rutherglen in the City-goers will also be able to enjoy a number of free masterclasses held by winemakers throughout the day, as well as live music performances.
There will also be a range of wine-friendly food options available for sale. Locals can even stock up their wine collection by purchasing wine they taste on the day to take home.
Tickets for Rutherglen in the City Albury are $10 and can be pre-purchased online now at ruthergleninthecity.com.au. Tickets will also be available on the day.
