Albury Attractions

Rutherglen is home to more than twenty wineries, spanning from 150 year old household names, to newcomers to the region, just beginning to forge their own history. Most are family owned, boutique operations and all share a belief that quality is more important than quantity. Such is the focus on producing great wine that James Halliday, Australia’s most revered wine commentator, has awarded no less than eight Rutherglen wineries a five red star rating, placing them at the forefront of the Australian wine industry. Touring the regions Cellar Doors is a breeze. Quality maps and guides are available from the Rutherglen Wine Experience & Visitor Information Centre, and the wineries are tightly concentrated around the townships of Rutherglen and Wahgunyah, with the furtherest being a 15 minutes drive away.
