RIDE AND RELAX
The Rutherglen Gourmet Amble, Anderson and Jones Wineries, Saturday, October 16, and Sunday, October 17, from 11am
Exercise and alcohol normally don't mix, but the Rutherglen Gourmet Amble is an exception. Ride or walk from Rutherglen to two nearby boutique wineries - Anderson's Winery and Jones Winery & Vineyard. Pick up a charcuterie platter and stop for a picnic. On the way check out the iconic Rutherglen water tower or another landmark, The Big Wine Bottle. Remember to book ahead!
WANDER AND ROAM
Kiewa Street Market, Kiewa Street carpark, Albury, Sunday, October 17, 8.30am until noon
The Kiewa Street Market is back this Sunday! This market will have a focus on all things gardening, so paint your thumb green and take the opportunity to ask some of the store holders which plant is which. Of course, all the usual stalls will also be there, so don't be afraid to spend up and show your support after the market has been unable to run. The market is a joint Rotary project of Albury North and Belvoir Wodonga Clubs, so all proceeds go towards community projects.
