Roam Rutherglen: The Ultimate Wine Weekend Festival
Gather your crew, suit up in your best festival gear, and get ready for Roam Rutherglen — Australia’s longest-running wine festival with a fresh, fun twist. For over 50 years, this iconic event has been the place where good times meet great wine.
Whether you’re a seasoned sipper or just starting your wine journey, Roam Rutherglen delivers the goods. Think 17 top-notch wineries pouring everything from bold Malbecs and crisp Fianos to next-level Muscat cocktails.
But it’s not just about the wine — Expect every winery to bring its own creative energy—from chilled acoustic sets to lively dance tunes—perfect for kicking back or turning up the fun.
Live music, buzzing cellar doors, and a dance floor energy you won’t forget. Hop between wineries with ease on our hop-on, hop-off bus loops and soak up the party atmosphere at your own pace.
Laugh, sip, and dance your way through the weekend while making memories you’ll be talking about long after the last glass.
