Pfeiffer Wines offers an immersive winemaking experience where visitors can learn the art of muscat blending in a centuries-old barrel room. Guests can indulge in premium muscats and create their own personalized blend based on their preferences, while also learning how to use a wine thief to siphon muscat straight from the barrel.
We wandered into Pfeiffer on the early side of a wintery Sunday morning not expecting anything unusual. It was quiet but the fire was warming. We sat down for the 10-wine tasting and the grazing platter. And then, wow! Good wine after good wine and then excellent wine and then the fortified wines. This winery's wines were all to my taste and liking; all rich with character and depth. The
lovely Kath and Ann guided us through the tasting explaining each wine and its origin with the passion and personal touch that comes from a family-owned business. Even during the sudden midday rush, we received all the attention we needed. So if you're up for a fantastic and personal experience with good wines all round, make your way to Pfeiffer. If you plan to get there around lunch, I'd recommend making a booking. We look forward to seeing the winery again soon.

What a sour little winery this is! - If you're not a local, don't bother. I was ignored upon arriving, then made to feel like I was interrupting a very important chat. All I wanted was to purchase a bottle of the Gamay for Mother's Day. Plenty of friendlier alternatives in the area. Avoid Pfeiffer is my advice.
Stopped by to try a couple of wines, ended up leaving with a number of rare fortifieds, some reds, some sparkling and fond thoughts of a great experience with Nicola and Toni. They were generous enough to let us try the rares. Great work on making us feel welcome. The location is beautiful, quite rustic and some interesting history. We really enjoyed our afternoon.
Had a wonderful time and tasting experience. The staff were very informative and friendly. The vineyard had an amazing variety of wines with award winning trophies. 🏆 Buying 3 bottles ended up in our wine tasting being free!! Looking forward to visiting in the future. Highly recommend 🍷
Excellent!!!!!
Pfeiffers went over and beyond for our hens day!
Pfeiffers called me the day before hand as we had a bridge booking, and the temp was mid 30s. The staff setup and the bridge and another area under the trees for back up!
The umbrellas were all set up, and even though they don’t have a kitchen. The staff continued to impress. They walked eskies with water and ice down the steps and continued to come down and check on all of us!
Great job Pfeiffers x
We booked in for the “up to ten” tasting experience and what an experience it was. Cathy was fabulous, personable, good humoured and knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to have Jen Pfeiffer drop past to say hi and to share some of the vineyard’s history to pass on her incredible wine knowledge.
The tasting room is quite rustic with heaps of history and ambience.
This is a definite destination spot when visiting the region.
Great location and vibe. Toni and Janice are so caring and helpful. They listen to customers really carefully and recommend different tastes they think we would like. My partner and I really enjoyed the time we had with those lovely women. It was also so informative about wine making and Pfeiffer family. Thanks to those people who made our day joyful.
I popped in a few weeks ago and had such a wonderful experience! A lovely lady called Toni, went through all the wines with me, during a tasting. It was fantastic! She has so much wine knowledge and passion for her work- we had lots of laughs and I learnt so much about wine in such a short time. She made me feel so welcomed. I'll definitely be back again soon and bringing all my friends!

Cofield Wines is a long-standing family-owned winery deeply rooted in the Rutherglen winemaking community. With a history dating back to 1909, the third-generation Damien continues the family's legacy by crafting premium wines sourced from various renowned regions including Rutherglen, King Valley, Alpine Valley, and Beechworth. The winery specializes in Method Traditionelle sparkling wines and offers an extensive range of regional white wines, reds, sweet, and fortified wines.
Cofield Wines are a must do in Rutherglen. There's an awesome restaurant, a lawn littered with chairs to relax with a book and glass. On the day we visited there was even a jumping castle. The wine tasting area offers samples without cost. Quartz restaurant is a standout for quality food with attentive service. The pumpkin salad was our hero meal in this region. Located directly on the Rutherglen Wine Bicycle Trail.

Wonderful friendly staff, beautiful location, great wines and dog-friendly! My pup got much love from staff and the residents winery doggos whilst I enjoyed the extensive tasting list. Excellent quality and good value for money wines. Next time I would like to try the restaurant on site as well.
Had a group booking here for 36 people, but due to illness, some were unable to attend. However, it wasn't a drama for the people there. Staff were fantastic, the food was delicious, the meals were HUGE and the coffee was really nice. Highly recommended.

We booked for lunch out on the deck of the Quartz Cafe at the winery but decided to do some wine tastings first at their cellar door. Friendly and helpful lady went through the tastings which by the way was free. Great wines. Lunch was super delicious and service was fantastic. Some great metalwork sculptures on display as well and these were amazing. A great day out and highly recommended. Well done Cofield.
Had a lunch at Quartz during the week.
They had a midweek special 2 courses and a glass of wine .
Food was delicious, my husband had a corn and cheese arancini and an eye fillet for main which was cooked medium rare. I also had the eye fillet served with kilpler potatoes and some kale and roasted tomatoes.
We will be back again .
Great service and the fire was welcoming on a cold day.
We went to Cofield Wines for a tasting and lunch. Damien - owner at the cellar door was a great host for the wine tasting.
We went to the restaurant for lunch and because it was Wednesday they had a special. Lamb rump with seasonal vegetables $30 it was sensational, my partner had slow cooked lamb shanks in a red wine jus. The best meal we have had in our 12 day trip.
Beautiful wines and meal. Thank you 🙏
Absolutely delightful lunch in a warm, cozy contemporary, dining space with an incredibly attentive waiter.
My husband , 9 year old son and l loved the generous portions presented beautifully.
As northeast locals, our only regret is not going to Cofield cafe sooner.
It will definately be a favourite place to dine in the future.
We dropped in for an early tasting soon after opening on a Saturday. As someone who doesn't love a crowd, being the only couple there and having time to chat with the owner was a real treat. Thank you for a wonderful experience, hopefully we have time to stop back in for a meal next time!

All Saints Estate, established in 1864 at Wahgunyah, is a historic Murray River winery with a new cellar door and two upcoming restaurants. The estate features a crenellated folly surrounded by formal English gardens and offers an extensive selection of wines, including the renowned museum-class muscat made from 100-year-old liqueur.
Had amazing time here. The grounds are stunning.
The tour of the cellars and wine tasting were excellent.
Lunch at Kin restaurant was as a highlight
Troy — Google review
Lovely Winnery. Classic buildings and a super restaurant. We stopped by for a Pizza Lunch in the ordinary restaurant, which was great, nice environment and tasty food at a fair price.
But there is a premium full service restaurant as well for special occasions.
😎👍👍👍👍
All Saints Estate is a classic winery experience with a modern twist. Cellar door Tastings are $15 per person, or you can enjoy a whole glass in the restaurant for roughly the same. There's an enticing menu inspired by local produce.
Picnicing is encouraged in the formal gardens. There's an enticing line up of entertainment if you want to make a weekend of it. A destination worth seeking out.
I had a terrible experience here. There are so many other wineries in the area that could be recommended before All Saints. I popped in to purchase a Mother's Day bottle. I purchased a single, mid-range bottle from the cellar door. The disdain and indifference my purchase was shown left a very sour taste. I stood there, awkwardly waiting to pay, for an eternity, while the server chatted with a customer about maybe joining the wine club. Every other winery I attended in Rutherglen and surrounds was a warm and endearing experience.
Lovely stop for wine tasting and looked after perfectly by Robin. Great host who was friendly, welcoming and professional. She made the experience for us. Thank you Robin. Very nice set up and great wines.
We stopped by for a quick lunch and look around, what a beautiful estate, and our pizza we all shared was just delicious, best base dough I have ever tasted. We paired it with a Pinot Grigio, just perfect.
Could had sat by the lake there all afternoon. Definitely will be back.
Wonderful winery- well with a visit - buildings and garden are stunning. Easy parking
Band has a Tesla charge point
Wine is great quality and for me too pricey
No bargains here - warning if u want to eat book in advance

Lake Moodemere Estate is a sustainable winery located on the shores of Lake Moodemere, an offshoot of the Murray River. Run by Michael and Belinda Chambers, whose family has been involved in winemaking for seven generations, the estate prides itself on minimal handling and low intervention approach to winemaking. The Lakeside Restaurant & Wine Bar offers a taste of their produce with picturesque views of the natural surroundings.
Visiting the Rutherglen wine region with friends we were recommended to visit Lake Moodemere estate for lunch with a view - and was so grateful for the recommendation. Upon arrival we were offered a complimentary wine tasting by the owner which was so delicious that half of us immediately signed up for a membership. We then were seated outside with a view of the lake and a light refreshing breeze whilst we dined on delicious estate lamb (not to be missed) , curly beer battered fries and salad whilst sipping on a delicious, full bodied rose. Very reasonable prices, friendly service and our favourite meal of our stay! 100% recommend.

We went for wine tasting. Lovely location, wines are okay...but very poor hospitality. The owner was not too keen to explain much to us. His explanation of wines and the region to the people on table next to us were elaborate, whereas for us it was a sentence or two....typical. The french girl who took over half way through was sweet, lot more elaborate and friendly.
The estate is in a tranquil environment which is relaxing, and the staff were commendable. The pasta was absolutely delicious and so was the lemon tart dessert. The lady who bought out my dessert had even put a candle in it, as she had found out it was my birthday. It was a very nice surprise and made the day even more special. Thank you!
we had our wedding here on the 13 sep 2025. what an amazing place and the service was perfect. the food was divine and the wines were exquisite. highly recommended, and the service the owners provided was way and beyond what i expected. the actual winery is beautiful next to the lake and with its beautiful trees and old estate home was truly beyond belief. thank you so much. everything was perfect and we highly recommend everyone to have a wedding or private party here.
thank you for everything
We had a wine tasting and lunch. I cannot recommend the wines enough, there was not one I didn’t like and that’s a first for any winery I have visited. Sheree took us through the list and was so knowledgeable about the product, family and area. It was so interesting. The sustainable practices also added to their story and may also explain one of the many points of difference with Moodemere wines. We followed up with an equally impressive lunch, the chef is to be commended. We were blown away by the slow cooked lamb (which is from the property), curly fries which were like clouds, breads ,dips and truly unbelievable spring rolls. We finished with a glass of wine overlooking the lake area. I don’t often leave reviews but our visit was so exceptional I couldn’t resist !
Gorgeous spot where friendly dogs are welcome. Lovely selection of wines and extremely friendly hosts. The platter was delicious as well! What an amazing place to end our trip!
Such a lovely relaxing setting. The cottage was well appointed & met all our needs. All boxes ticked. I would definitely recommend especially for the serenity alone.
Great lunch venue and some superb red wine wine. Outdoor setting very pleasant plus a good food selection, whether snacking or feeling like settling in for a long lunch.

Campbells Wines, with over 146 years of experience in Rutherglen, is a family-owned winery that prides itself on passion and producing modern, characteristic wines. The fifth-generation winemaker, Bill Chambers, embodies the rich history of the region and the dedication to continuing the family's winemaking traditions. The hands-on approach and unwavering commitment to quality are evident in their range of wines.
I had the pleasure of spending a relaxing afternoon at the Sunset Drinks event held at Campbells Wines, accompanied by some of my family members. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, we were treated to a truly memorable experience.
We started off by savoring a glass of Campbells' exquisite wine, each sip a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into their winemaking process. The ambiance was further elevated by the mouth-watering meal prepared by the exceptionally talented Chef Nick Gardener from Sticks Catering, who also happens to be the assistant winemaker at Campbells Wines. @chefnickgardner.
The culinary delight included succulent chicken cooked in sage butter, perfectly paired with pearl couscous that added a delightful texture. The dish also featured charred corn, heirloom tomatoes bursting with flavor, and a smooth corn cream, all topped with the crispy, savory goodness of chorizo crumbs. To add a refreshing twist, the plate was finished with a pickled fennel and saffron salad, bringing together a harmonious blend of flavors that danced on the palate.
As we indulged in this culinary masterpiece, our senses were further enchanted by a gifted local musician Patrick Russell whose repertoire included a selection of timeless classics. Patrick provided the perfect soundtrack to our evening creating a fun and relaxing atmosphere as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the vineyard.

Excellent wines, excellent staff and service and wonderful grounds.
We stumbled across this winery and decided to visit based on the great reviews. Safe to say it didn’t disappoint and we will definitely be back. The cheese boards also looked amazing!!!
Visited Cambells Wines and had an unforgettable experience. The main highlight, of course, was their outstanding wine — an incredible selection, especially the reds, full of richness and character. We also enjoyed a beautifully prepared cheese and meat platter, rich in variety and flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with warm and professional service. A truly special place for wine lovers!
Very good winery. Wide range of wines to taste and sample. Good location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Chairs and tables around the place. Good sized car park. Prices were quite reasonable. Well worth a visit.
Campbell's Wines is set in stunning gardens on the edge of Rutherglen. The cellar door offers complimentary tastings, a wine club, and local produce. Blended wines represent something unique. For an earthy experience meander through the barrels or sit by the fireplace in Winter.
Great family owned winery, with interesting selection of wines. Muscats were superb. A stroll amongst the any wine barrels was a wondrous experience.
We visited this venue Campbells wine with our tour guide & the group. The wines were great especially the Muscat. The service was nice and staff was knowledgeable. It was great to do the tour with Sip & Pour wine tour. We bought a bottle of Shiraz and one of their Muscat ranges.
Wow! Amazing wine and amazing staff (we visited on Fri 3rd Oct). So impressed with the quality and range, and we have been to 100’s of wineries in Europe & Australia. Well done guys.

Perfect accommodation in well appointed spacious rooms. Lovely old winery building. Restaurant food really delicious 5 star. Waitress excellent and very knowledgeable with dishes and wine. Wine tasting very informative and easily guided from light wine to heavy. Highly recommend, will definitely be back.

Beautiful rooms with an amazing view from our room. The staff were lovely and accomadating and the breakfast buffet was delish.
It was just a short stroll to the main street and the location of the hotel was still nice and quiet.
We had a great family dinner here. The service staff were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere and interior design were beautifully laid out.
For the food, well it was excellent! Everything we ordered tasted amazing. Steak were all cooked to how we ordered and arrived in timely manner. Really have to thank the chef for the exceptional food! Thank you all for amazing dinner
Stayed in 2-Bedroom Suite/King Bed. Really peaceful and comfortable. Well appointed with nice toiletries and coffee making facilities in room. Location very handy. Would definitely recommend and plan to return.
Tuileries is just amazing!! Jen and the team always make your time there special. Food is always spectacular along with the wine to pair.
Absolutely amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Staff were lovely, facilities were beautiful. We had a beautiful time there.
One word: disappointing.
The tasting rooms are stark and uninviting.
The restaurant is tired and dated. Fake plants decorating the area make it look l tacky.
Terrible music choice - something must be done about it.
Tiles cracked and garden beds not maintained.
Food was average. Fish was undercooked.
Redeeming features:
The cheese board in the wine tasting room was great, as were the wine tasting staff.
Oysters were delicious and great value.
We had dinner last night at Tulleries, fantastic service and delicious food!

Had a dinner in a rainy night in their wine bar.
The waiter was very kind!
Food wise: the quality and the quantity were good.
The soft crab was very tasty, the cheese platter was delicious (loved the crackers!), the dessert with the fairy floss a funny experience.
The location is well designed too.

The service was impeccable from the wine cellar to the well trained restaurant staff. Ambience is cosy and you could easily nestle in for a chunk of time with a great glass of red. All of the food was great, although the steak could be seasoned slightly better. The wines alone are well priced and worth the 5 stars.
Lovely dinner out in Rutherglen. Interesting and tasty dishes, everything we tried was consistently great!
I think it’s a high 4 star since nothing felt like a standout or was particularly memorable. I would neither rush to come back nor rave about it. Definitely a great place to dine out though.
We visited the cellar door in Rutherglen today, we are very glad that we did. We had an amazing tasting with Paul, he was informative and entertaining. We worked in Cellar doors in the Margaret River region so it was lovely to compare and talk wine with Paul. We tried some amazing wines and of course had to buy. We’ve done a lot of tastings over the years and this has been one of our favourites. Thanks Paul, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. Would also like to say, the venue is amazing. Michelle and Graham #wanderinghousesitters.🍾🥂😁
Had a really nice time at the cellar door. Everything was explained in great detail and the discussions were fantastic. Thank you Chris and David, it was a nice afternoon. We purchased 9 bottles of various wines even their beautiful muscat, now to get home and consume.
Great accommodation in Rutherglen.
Ample space within the apartment that was well appointed.
Bernie at the cellar door was fantastic and took the time to really showcase all the wines on offer.
Wonderful location with a short stroll up the main street, great tennis court and a brilliant mini bar stocked with great De Bortoli wines at the cellar door prices - win!

A new exhibition featuring Lockhart River artist Patrick Butcher Jnr and Anmatyerre artist Kudditji Kngwarreye is showing under the title of "Colour Fields".
The cellar door offers tastings in a relaxed environment with tables and seating provided. The tasting experience is enhanced through a collaboration with Aboriginal Exhibitions Gallery with paintings hung at the cellar door area and a large gallery to the rear.
The gallery is part of the North East Art Trail which includes The Plough Inn at Tarrawingee and Must Love Dogs in Rutherglen.

Went with a group for a tasting of some whites. The Prosecco and the White were standouts with the latter having won multiple awards. The cellar door staff were attentive and provided helpful information on the wines.
A Turbo Brown exhibition has replaced the Lockhart River works over the past week and two pieces have already sold. The works are striking and the animal and bird subject cannot help but make you smile.
Purchased a case of six 2020 Shelly's Block for $48 which is a real bargain. A good selection of bin ends is still available. The gallery holds a large selection of works from Trevor "Turbo" Brown, a Victorian artist with works held by many public Australian galleries. His whimsical subjects are guaranteed to raise a smile.
12/3/23
Tastes of Rutherglen weekend where we attended the wine masterclass with our host David. Superb range of wines offered with their Renaissance range and sparkling Shiraz Durifs the standouts.
The accommodation was comfortable and clean. The couch and chairs need an upgrade to reach a higher standard .
The breakfast basket was Very good.
A row of trees at the end of vineyard will block out cars and traffic and will make it feel more relaxing and enclosed.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The wine tasting was excellent staff member was friendly and not pushy to buy.

The room was super clean and well presented. Even had a heater light in the bathroom. Lovely comfy big beds. Super friendly and helpful owners. The swimming pool was clean and very well kept.
We will be back....we highly recommend 👌
A wonderful stay in regional Victoria. The motel was exceptionally clean, very comfortable, and offered a convenient location for the wedding we were attending at De Bortoli. Great value with friendly accommodation hosts! Keep up the great work. Highly recommended!
Very clean and well-furnished rooms - everything you'd need for a short stay provided. Big rooms with comfortable beds and good advice about the local area from the front desk. Great for if you're just stopping by briefly or for a longer stay in Rutherglen, and suitable for families or individuals.
I stayed at Motel Woongarra July 24th, 2025. I found the room to be very clean, comfortable bed and there was virtually no traffic noise. as a result I had a relaxing sleep ready for the big day of work ahead. An added nice touch was that the owner called me on the way to Rutherglen to confirm when I would be arriving and to my delight, found the room to be nice and warm, as the heater had been put on. Thank you and I look forward to staying at the motel again on my next business trip to Rutherglen.

Good country motel, clean, quiet, comfortable. Excellent location for a Rutherglen stay, with easy walking to a number of wineries and the charming little Lake King nearby for nature walks.
Stayed one night, lovely clean room big bed, modern shower and a short walk to the pubs and shops
Exceptionally clean and comfortable, we couldn’t have been happier. Very welcoming were Steve and Jo and you could see that on arrival how fresh and clean the property was, even down to the kerb outside the rooms, all freshly painted. The rooms had all been refreshed recently, the buildings recently rendered and painted , bedding all new and very comfortable and comfortable couch. Short walk to town and hotels, cafes and restaurants. Cannot rate this motel more highly

Nestled on the picturesque grounds of All Saints Estate, Bonnie is a delightful lakeside pizzeria that perfectly embodies a relaxed family dining experience. This charming eatery, named in honor of the winery's Scottish roots, offers an inviting atmosphere with its country chic decor and artisanal wood-fired pizzas. Guests rave about the delectable Stella pizza topped with prawns, confit garlic, and chili oil—an absolute must-try!
The pizzas were fantastic, the pizza bases were on point and toppings, delicious.
The wife and I enjoyed the coffee and the kids are accommodated with a kid friendly selection of drinks.
Worth coming here even if you are not a wine drinker.
The grounds are well maintained creating a welcoming atmosphere, with a rich history and the staff were fantastic and happy to explain the history and the processes in producing fortified wines and mascots.
Definitely will be back, see you again soon.

We had a delicious meal seated outdoors in the shade. Our pizzas were fantastic and so was the almond & lemon curd tart! The scenery and grounds were beautiful. Highly recommend for a relaxing lunch.
Popped in for lunch today with the kids, food and drink were lovely!
Pizzas had creative blends of flavors and were just lovely! Only comment from me would be including a couple of child friendly options and another dairy free option (perhaps a dairy free cheese). Not being picky, just have a child with allergies and there was only one menu item he could have.
We were lucky enough to score a bottle of brut here when it wasn’t available at the All Saints Cellar Door.
Worthwhile checking out for lunch if your at All Saints.
Nice pizza in a gorgeous setting. Also enjoyed the spritz.
We had the steak and a caesar salad. It was sensational food. Great view over the water, great service and the music was awesome. I considered this to be reasonably priced considering it is in a winery, on that we matched the meal with a great bottle of red from the estate.
Great view of the vineyards, and little pond with ducks, and a lovely sunny day to sit outside.
We had some snacks, none of the mains or pizza this time, but we'll definitely be returning for it.
Lovely spot in from of a pond. Great meal and very good wine from their winery.
Delicious food and great service! The pizzas were a stand out and the Prosecco was lovely. We sat inside which was nice however outside looked beautiful and would probably choose to sit there next time.

Restaurant
The Pavilion Restaurant at Buller Wines offers an impressive lunch experience that is skillfully curated by the Chef/Owner. The three-course degustation menu strikes the perfect balance, providing just the right amount of food to leave patrons feeling refreshed and satisfied. Each dish is flavorful without being overwhelming, allowing guests to savor every bite and discover new flavors along the way. The appetizer serves as a delightful reminder of hunger, while the wagyu main course showcases its centrality gracefully.
Amazing lunch! Thanks chef Drew for your fabulous food. Everything was delicious. We loved the steaks, they were melt in the mouth and perfectly cooked. The sides were really yum too. Nice glass of wine to accompany our meal and nice atmosphere. Thanks to Jess and Indi for taking care of us too. We will be back again and again.

Everyone in our party of eight was very happy with their meals. Calamari tender and fresh.
Lamb shank just fell off the bone, Lamb back strap full of flavour.
Highly recommend.
I will return here and purchase more of their wine next time I visit. Thoroughly recommend this cellar. Been to many wine regions in Australia and this is one of the best like SA.
Absolutely beautiful meals and setting is restaurant is perfect for families
Lunch is one of those meals that is very hard for a chef to plan well. Too much and the guest is uncomfortable, too little and the guest wonders why they have spent the money.
The Chef/Owner at Ripe has got it right. We had the 3 course degustation for lunch and it was perfect, just the right amount of food to leave you feeling refreshed, your taste buds tittlated and even having learned a little along the way.
The entree was tasty yet just enough to remind you that you were hungry, the wagyu wasn't overwhelming and heavy, which it could have been as the centrepoint of the meal and the desert was light, sweet yet tart and reminded you that the whole thing was worth the trip.
Next time I think I will try and give it a go for dinner.
4 of us had lunch here on Wednesday. Outstanding meals, fabulous staff, great location.
Don’t waste your time and MONEY!
It was appalling.
They had an answer for everything:
Wait time: not able to get staff
Menu items not available: Food delivery didn’t arrive.
Vegetarian options: Only 1 option, remove prawns from Pasta dish.
We booked over a week before attending. They should have notified us before we arrived that they only had enough food and staff for the other group that was in the restaurant that day!!! By the way there were only around 30 people in the restaurant altogether and 10 of them were us!!!
There are many other beautiful restaurants in the area.
Over priced rubbish.
We are local to the area and will never go back!!!
Great food, great service, cannot recommend enough!

South side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the south side side of town. Start the day off with Rutherglen Visitor Information Centre, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Scion Wine. All together, your day would be filled with about 6 hours of non-stop fun.

Great customer service all around!
We hired 3 bikes at a very reasonable price, during our ride one of the bikes had an issue, after one phone call, Kirk jumped straight into her car, drove to us with a new bike so we could continue on!
Thanks team, see you again soon!

Situated on the edge of town Rutherglen Visitor Centre is worth the stop. The staff offer friendly and helpful advice in addition to bike hire and souvenirs. They know many great spots and useful tips within the Rutherglen Loops. The Wine Trail starts out their back door...be sure to check out the beautiful brickwork of this stunning building. Picnic tables, toilets and rail trail parking here too.
We had a great stop in Rutherglen. Staff very helpful. Lovely gifts to purchase if you want. Although my daughter thought the town needed a new shop in between the butcher and the baker 😁
Helpful informative staff. Easy access on the main roundabout and choose to a real gelato I've cream shop nearby. I've cream available summer autumn.
Very impressed with level of service, freindly staff and interesting range of products. Nice little cafe there which I plan to try out next visit. Highly recommended.
Easy to find location with friendly staff to guide you around the area. Lots of local produce too.
Fantastic toilet facilities for disability

We had a wonderful late lunch here today - we were very kindly allowed to attend the restaurant quite late.
The food was delicious and M had a great glass of red.
The service was excellent and presentation lovely.
We are from Adelaide but pass through Rutherglen regularly - though this is our first visit to Jones Winery.
Thank you Arthur and team

Thoroughly enjoyed a 3 course meal with wines at Jones. The food was refined, service excellent, and the relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect long lunch. We recently did some fine-dining overseas and can confidently report that Jones is right up there in terms of quality and value
We had a fabulous experience at Jones’ Winery.
The staff at the cellar door were knowledgeable and took us through an extensive wine tasting. Wines are reasonably priced.
The food at the restaurant was fantastic. High quality produce and full of flavour. The highlights were the lamb, the caramel pumpkin cheesecake and the lavender pudding. We were given complimentary bread, butter and chocolates at the end, and we thought it was great value.
Thank you Jimmy for the wine adventure that you took us on with our wine tasting. 🌈 The history of the vineyard with its original farmhouse roof made of stringy bark was very appeasing. Don’t forget their cute doggy who loves people 🐶 Wines were very reasonably priced!! The restaurant smelt unbelievably delicious and can’t wait to try it next time we visit 🍷
The quality of wines speak for themselves, enjoyed everyone we tasted. Furthermore the experience itself with the amazing friendly staff made it an unforgettable experience. After our tasting i realised i had left my jacket with our hotel room key in the pocket at the winery. When i called, Arthur the legend who served us offered to drop it off where we were staying. Jones Winery offer not only amazing wines but an experience you won't be quick to forget.
Had lunch at Jones Winery a couple of weeks ago and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The service was lovely and there was a good vibe with the staff where they were just happy.
The food is delicious and well presented. I felt the portion sizes were fair and I left feeling satisfied.
We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who is friendly and welcoming. The winery is also dog friendly and that's a win in my books. I will be returning to Jones Winery when I visit the region again.
A wonderful cellar door experience with a very friendly and helpful host. We loved every one of the wines and found them absolutely top quality. It has a lovely cosy ambience and a beautiful setting. A wonderful hour of delicious wines and enjoyable conversation, and we're looking forward to enjoying all the wines we bought and remembering our visit.
5th Generation wine makers in Rutherglen, doing some interesting wines. 2 tasting options, standard $10 refundable on purchase or Reserve $20 (not refundable on purchase) Definitely worth doing the reserves, standouts the Rare Rutherglen Muscat average age 55yr and the LJ from 105 yr old vines.
Beautifully restored cellar door and grounds. Worth the visit.

Rutherglen Big Wine Bottle

Rutherglen Big Wine Bottle is a unique landmark that wine enthusiasts and curious travelers should not miss. This water tower, resembling a wine bottle with a mesh top added in 1969, stands as a testament to the town's rich wine industry. Situated on a hill, it offers stunning views of the town and valley below. The structure was initially built as a water supply backup before becoming an iconic tourist attraction.
A great bit of history for the Rutherglen township. Congrats to the creative Festival committee. What a great idea. I recommend a visit. It's free.
Jon G — Google review
We really enjoyed Rutherglen, food was good, wine at Deboteli winery was delicious. Very nice place to visit for the day.
The Big Wine Bottle is one of the many "big" tourist attractions across Australia. It is a water tower, which became a backup supply once the new reservoir was constructed in 1945.
The mesh top section was erected in December 1969 for the Rutherglen Wine Festival and from a distance gives the effect of a large wine bottle.
You cannot miss the Big Wine Bottle when visiting Rutherglen. Perched onto of the hill overlooking the town and valley below, it used to be a water tower. Now a unique tourist attraction. How cool to be The town in Australia that has a Big Wine Bottle. Go Rutherglen!
Huge wine Bottle in Rutherglen. One of the many hidden tourist secrets you need to find in small towns.. This one sticks out so go find it and read up about its history of why its there.. Great view of Mount Buffalo, falls creek and Victorias highest peak Mount Bogong. When you go to small towns like Rutherglen, you need to drive around to explore the back streets to find treasures like this.
If only there was also wine inside of it ;)
Definitely iconic!
In the middle of the suburb worth the stop.amazing architectural features of its time its free
It was interesting to read that it was in fact a Water Pressure Tower for the Town prior to altering it to look like a Big Wine Bottle !

Had an awesome time at this winery! The staff were super friendly and really knew their stuff—they made the whole experience fun and informative. The atmosphere was really welcoming and laid-back, perfect for just relaxing and enjoying some great wine (also the tasting is only $5 which is a steal). Their Muscat was incredible—easily the best I’ve ever tasted. If you’re into wine or just want a friendly atmosphere this is a must visit!
I had likley one of the best experiences at Chambers Winery! I booked for an early tasting as they opened. I love older, more rustic looking wineries, and this is just thst with all of the wines made on-site. It was a slow day, and the lovely staff took me for a tour of everything from the fruit picking to the maturation chambers! All while sampling some of the best muscat, and wines around. Could not have had a more lovely time. If you are in the area go visit them!
The experience here is so warm and authentic. The wines are really nice and priced really well. The staff are very welcoming and freindly. They even took the kids to feed some farm animals. Was really nice. Will be back when we return to Rutherglen.
We had the best time at our wine tasting for our friends 40th. Sumi and Robyn were awesome hosts, so knowledgeable and fun. The wine is delicious and musket even better. Highly recommend, don't forget to say hi to Charlie on your way in!
A brilliant place to visit, and pleasant walk away from the centre of Rutherglen. Helpful staff, and a rustic, warm and welcoming winery to visit. And it's the home of some of Australia's legendary wines - the fortified muscat, topaque and port, extraordinary creations that deserve much wider appreciation.
What an amazing time we had ... by far our favourite winery of those we visited in Rutherglen. A big thankyou to beautiful Venetta.. who made our tasting so warm and friendly. Thanks again, if we are passing through again, we will definately visit. If we could give 10 stars we would have. Thanks Venetta, you are a gem 💎
Chambers Rosewood Winery has a wide selection of wines and fortified wines. The tastings we did were so enjoyable and the staff were so friendly. The last time we were here was during the Rutherglen Winery Walkabout and this place was rocking it with a great band. Truly an enjoyable and down to earth place to enjoy an hour or so. It serves cheese platters too.

After reading negative reviews, I wanted to share my experience at The Other Place @ Rutherglen cafe. Despite a last-minute change in the number of people in our group, the staff warmly welcomed us when we called to book. Their customer service was friendly and they even shared a few jokes. I was impressed by the unique bowls of coffee they served, which was perfect for a Sunday morning. The food arrived quickly and it was absolutely delicious.
Fantastic! Coffee was excellent. The atmosphere of the cafe was cosy and we both really loved the chairs and were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they were.
Food was delicious and filling. The staff were really friendly and the lady that greeted us on entry was full of energy and it set the mood for a great visit. We couldn’t be happier! We highly encourage anyone else to drop in and see for yourself.

Perhaps one of the best coffees. No flinches or questions when ordering my “Magic”. The service was outstanding as was the food.
It was a cold morning on our visit but sitting out of the breeze in the sunny courtyard was divine.
We love this place. Very friendly, happy staff. Great outdoor area with blankets provided for those that need it. Lovely well presented food. Highly recommend 👌
Highly recommend. Awesome coffee and a great atmosphere. The smashed avocado on toast for breakfast was excellent. And dogs are welcome. Will be back
Good food and they were friendly but I found to strange that they gave us take away cups when we were having our food in the cafe.
Welcoming atmosphere. Prompt, polite service. This small establishment is big in character. I love the utilization of areas and the efficiency of everything. Beautiful!!!!!
We had a booked table. Wasn't sure if it was table service or go up and order. Had to ask about that. On ordering which was easy, but do ask if the burretto bowl sauce is hot. Order it to the side just incase. We asked for sparkling mineral water & was told in the fridge, then asked about a glass told in the hutch beside. Just felt they could of explained more about the things I just spoke about. Not the most friendly communtive place.
A wonderful cafe with good food, coffee and friendly service. With many gluten free options. Also has a really nice courtyard

Scion Wine in Rutherglen offers a unique experience where visitors can enjoy a "Reverse BYO" concept, bringing their own picnic while the winery provides the wine. The friendly and knowledgeable staff, such as Alicia and Alyssa, offer great recommendations and information about the area. The winery is described as "young and fun," offering different takes on traditional wines with genuine craft knowledge. Visitors praise the "After Dark" wine and express excitement about returning for more tastings.
Loved our visit here, there wasn’t a single wine we didn’t like and we also sampled the Muscat gin for something a little different. Staff were personable and knowledgeable. Loved the aesthetic of the cellar door and wines themselves. Great to see wineries that are trying new takes on classics and doing it well. We’ll definitely be back!

Always such a pleasure to visit Scion wines. Staff are always so friendly and all wines are delicious! Especially love the daylight red for a perfect picnic wine, or just because… After dark is also a favourite along with the Muscat X. If you are in the area, this winery is a must visit.
Lovely modern winery worth visiting as a point of difference to others in the area. Excellent cellar door experience with gracious hosts. Beautiful, subtle and very memorable wines.
Second visit in 3 years and this beautiful winery is my absolute favourite 😍 especially the beautiful Kate at the cellar door. It’s also a genuine experience when we meet the owner who’s as passionate as the wines they sell. See you again! Kimberley and Simon Harvey.
We had tried Scion Rose and loved it so much that when we were in Rutherglen, we knew we had to visit the cellar door! We had a great experience with the wine tasting and came home with a few new wines to try. Amazing wines, beautiful cellar door and friendly, knowledgeable staff, its win, win, win! Thanks so much for a great experience, we will be back!
What a beuatiful vineyard! Had a excellent and lovely tasting for $10 with the hostess Sally. It's a small family run business and their passion for their wines is something you really can taste. Very knowledgeable people. Would love to come back!
Our impromptu visit to this beautiful winery and cellar door was a delight. Our hostess Kara was lovely and informatics despite it being only her second day. She guided us through a great selection of wines that had our palettes dancing with great flavours and character. Fabulous wines in a wonderful setting. Free freight on our six bottles was a bonus.
Georgie was knowledgeable, passionate and a gentle presence for our tasting. It’s clear she knows the unique nature of the Scion story and she is a great representation of the winery. Syrah was the standout & M Town a very fun surprise! Couldn’t recommend more!

As new residents to Rutherglen my family is so happy with the quality and variety of pizzas here. We've been back multiple times now and the food is consistently great! Will definitely be making this a regular take-out night meal.

This charming cafe has garnered attention for its diverse menu, featuring scrumptious gluten-free options and standout dishes like their homemade potato cakes, which have been hailed as the best around. The veggie burger is another highlight; it's not your typical patty but rather a delicious potato cake topped with avocado, pineapple, and beetroot—truly a unique twist!
Love to swing by this place whenever we are passing through Rutherglen. The veggie burger is fantastic - it’s basically a potato cake with the lot (inc avo, pineapple and beetroot) 😋 Why more places don’t do their veggie burgers like this is a mystery to me. Beats a veggie patty any day!
Meagan T — Google review
Such a shame to bring home a slop of soggy fish and chips, combination of old chips freshly cooked chips. what a waste of $40. Don’t waste your money!
Very disappointed with my experience at Silver Key. We waited over an hour for our takeaway order, only to find it was missing a lamb burger and three cocktails. When I went back to sort it out, the staff were unprofessional — one of them even slapped the refund money down on the counter instead of handing it to me. Totally unacceptable behaviour and not how you treat customers. Won’t be returning.
Comfy outdoor seatings, quick service, friendly staff and humungous tasty burgers and onion rings. Definitely going back when I’m next in Rutherglen.
That’s all vegetarian burger filled with natural delights.
Was ok. Very slow service but only 2 girls working over lunch so to be expected. They were doing their best but not what we are there for. Would ask for wait time before ordering from there again.
One of very few places in Rutherglen to get food later in the day. Once inside, it’s more of a fish and chip shop but the burgers are definitely more of a burger bar style! They had the potential to be 4 star worthy but the patties were tough and over cooked. The toppings were super generous and really cheesy which we loved. Potato cakes were lovely! Would definitely return to give them a second go at the burger.
We stopped here after traveling all day, we were pleasantly surprised with our delicious cheese burger & fisherman’s basket, absolutely the best, highly recommend you stop here, the staff were very busy as it was a Friday night but they were very professional & extremely friendly.
A must stop at in Rutherglen.... a delicious BIG breakfast ... (Reopened since fire... And beautifully decorated.)Inside and outside dining... Lovely n spotless.cafe.. Beaut coffee and great friendly helpful staff.. Will be back whenever in the area... Couldn't fault anything....

Lovely friendly very interesting Cafe. We had a beautiful breakfast. Gorgeous cakes and slices home made. Great staff. Very clean.You can even buy lovely tin signs and gifts.
I have been to this place twice now. The first time unfortunately cafe options were out of hours but I still found a way to spend my money. How you ask? Well this place is wall to wall memorabilia. Talk about a nostalgia trip for me a walk down memory lane. But thats not all if you like the footy, car, food or anything like these there is stuff for you as well. Sinage, Illuminated signs, neon, figurines. You name it they got it. So I had to make a second trip and this time had an afternoon cuppa and scones with jam and cream. Wow was it good but the jam yumm. Not had jam so good for a long time. This trip gave me the opportunity to really absorb what was there. Not only did I take a trip down memory lane but it gave me time to see what having a quick glance wont let you see. This is one place you cant go past, good for brekky, light lunch and morning and afternoon cuppa's and oh yeah make sure you have a cake. See ya soon.
Can't recommend the Pickers Cafe & Collectibles enough!
Upon arrival they bought out a highchair for our toddler & even some games to keep him busy.
Their babycinos are SUPER frothy.
Chai Latte was honestly perfect.
Gf waffle option (although i forgot to ask for them to be gf - whoops ) are absolutely amazing. Perfect.
The vege frittata went down so easy.
There is gluten free options & the kids menu has a good variety.
And to top it off the service was so friendly!
There is also a water bowl outside for furry family members.
We will be back for sure!

Food was good and the place was very welcoming. Coffee was good. The kids loved their hot chocolate and milk shake. Price was good and decent portion sizes. I would definitely come here again.
We didn't eat but had a fascinating look at the collectables ... so much on offer, worth visiting just for that.

Stanton & Killeen Wines, a historic winery with seven generations of experience and 143 years of tradition, is nestled in the fertile lands of Rutherglen. The vineyards boast 90-year-old Shiraz vines that produce outstanding fruit for their exclusive and unique wines. After a brief closure in the 1930s, the vineyard was revived in 1968 by Norman Killeen, who married into the Stanton family.
This was the BEST tasting I have had at a winery, so warm and friendly yet passionate thank you Stuart. It was so refreshing to see someone else hold a small-batch high quality mindset and beautifully articulate that in a rustic and cozy manner.
From the moment we entered, it did not feel commercial - more like a family of passionate wine-makers eager to share their project with you.
This was the only wine tasting where I did not feel rushed, if anything we felt like we overstayed the session after a good 40 minutes of discussion and also a mini tour of the barrels and back area which Stuart kindly shared with us as it was a quieter day.
The wines were delicious and I would highly recommend their full bodied reds , but of course the main reason I decided to choose this winery - THE PORT.
We purchased an exquisite $120 port which was one of their premium ones however even the base port was delicious.
Well worth the money, and I can't wait to have fond memories every time I sip on the port with my husband and family who came up to Rutherglen with us.
Wineries should actively seek out people like Stuart - they are rare. In a fast and high volume transactional world, it is a golden moment to meet someone who cherishes prime quality process and outcomes such as the wines at SK.
I can't recommend this more, and will be doing a lot of shout outs at my cooking school when we discuss wine pairings and recommendations for Victoria.
I went to that IGA you recommended to get that special local Lamb and it was DELICIOUS - good recommendation and a nice NYE celebration.
Thank you Stuart!
Warm regards,
Tanya from Heavenly Morsel

We had a fantastic hens day party hosted by Stanton & Killeen. Sarah and Sam were so helpful in organising the day and ensuring everything was in place when we arrived. Zalan and the other staff were wonderful on the day, greeting us with a delicious on theme cocktail, having everything ready for our paint and sip, yummy platters and providing a fun tour of the cellar. There were multiple beautiful spaces for us to use, a shady outdoor area, cellar door, barrel room and the speakeasy. Wines were delicious and generous. Great value for money too!
Thank you so much for having us and providing a wonderful experience. I highly recommend S&K for events and to visit for their cellar door experience.
Great wines . We arrived on Sunday the 26 of October and Jess served us, excellent customer service. Knowledge of wine was excellent. Was run off her feet but still made us feel welcome. Thank you Geoff
Fantastic experience today. Came in for a tasting and the staff member was absolutely amazing. Really friendly, great for a chat and knowledgeable about the wines. Passionate about the brand and a fantastic ambassador. The wines were delicious.
We weren't pressured to buy anything (but did happily). Wines and fortifieds were delicious and unique. Each flavour was distinct and tasting notes on point. Overall, very impressed with the visit and will be recommending to friends and family to visit.
Had an absolutely fabulous wine tasting with Jess who had a great sense of humour and knowledge of the wines. Took us through the whole tasting with such fun and a good laugh. Definitely visit here!
We came in for a tasting that was ran by Ellen and Jess yesterday. They were extremely knowledgeable and made the whole experience enjoyable! This was our favourite tasting experience in Rutherglen. Thank you for having us! We will be back 😊
Absolutely fantastic winery with so many different varieties that I've never tried but am eager to include in my wine rack going forward. Beautiful location with a positive and delightful atmosphere. Perfect spot to spend a couple hours with friends or family. Was extra pleased to meet the *infamous* Josie the Jack Russell from the latest Quinta Quarterly whilst there. *Special shoutout to Steve who made the tasting superb with his engaging, fun and informative style. Can't wait to come back!
Amazing time at the Stanton and Killeen Muscat Blending Experience. Natasha took us on a very informative tour of the wine making facilities - so much history! Then we did the muscat blending with winemaker Adrian carefully explaining each step of the process. It gave us a genuine experience of how the wines come together. Best of all, we got to take away our own specialized bottle of muscat refined to our exact taste :)

The best winery around Rutherglen. Flavours are bold. Wines have body. Their Durif is a step above everyone else’s.
What a gem! We were recommended this winery for their durif so were really looking forward to tasting last weekend. We opened the door to a hum of busy-ness. Staff greeted us immediately even while handing bubble wands to visiting children. We had a really enjoyable tasting, loving the warmth the staff showed to everyone. We loved the 2019 Durif, and went home with a box, and will join as members too. Thoroughly recommend
I first visited Warrabilla winery about 20 years ago with the Austin Healey club of Victoria when we stayed in Rutherglen. Their Durif is the best Durif I have ever tasted. We filled up our Healeys with their wonderful wines. Sadly my husband died 14 years ago and I stopped being a member of their wine club. I joined again over a year ago . I run a small wine club and recently I took a bottle of Smithy’s blend and it won the wine of the night and today with the delivery of my annual wines I received 2 dozen Smithy’s blend as well that I ordered for wine club members. I highly recommend visiting Warrabilla when you are in the area. Cheers Jill
Amazing, my favourite wine in this area, very rich, and super tastefull! Friendly service, everything on tasting, absolut Gem !
Wine club member here - aside from this being the best winery in Victoria, their customer service is amazing! Had some courier issues with an order, spoke to Amy and she resolved things immediately. She turned a frustrating issue into an outstanding outcome. Love your work.
Went to Warrabilla Wines with a large group of people yesterday. We had a wonderful time. Excellent service and presentation of wines. 10/10
Best big red wine maker in the world. Arrived late but looked after very well by the friendly helpful staff. Couldn't ask for more. If you like your wines big, with tastings across multiple vintages, this is the must goto winery of Rutherglen for old style wines with huge dollops of fruit and tannins. Wines that will keep improving for years and years!

Buller Wines

Winery
Buller Wines, a well-established Victorian winery, has a rich history dating back to the early 1920s when Reginald Buller first cultivated the now 22-hectare Buller Wines Estate Vineyard. Today, owned by three local North East Victorian families, the winery continues to produce distinctive wines from its low-yielding fruit. In addition to their renowned wines, Buller Wines has expanded into gin and whisky production at Three Chain Road.
We spent 4 nights at the Buller accom and I can't imagine a better location. As far as the accom they were great, really modern layout, nice linen etc... There's a couple of places they could improve but nothing critical and they took on our feedback really well. The winery itself is so accommodating, and fun. You don't feel pressured to have to buy anything, you can just taste and enjoy their space. Yet their product is so good we organized an entire shipment back to our home in Melbourne. Anyway, great people, great place, fair prices.

We visited the Buller Wines Vineyard Accommodation and was pleasantly surprised by the thought and detail they put into these cottages. The bed was so comfy, shower pressure was super and the coffee was on point. We found peace, quite and views for days. Will surely be back very soon! Oh sid I mention their Prosecco - dreamy!
We turned up at 10am for a spontaneous wine and gin tasting.
Our host was so passionate about his work and had very extensive knowledge of the winery and surrounds.
What an amazing experience, I absolutely love listening to people talk about the things they love.
The gin was amazing, especially the dry gin. The grand topaque stole the show though, it was incredible
So much more than just wine there's something for every alcoholic at Buller Wines! We arrived near the end of the day and the owners were incredibly personable and patient with complimentary tastings. Lots of range in price points. They also offer grazing platters to enjoy on the rear lawn. Buller Winery is a short bike ride from Rutherglen, just 500 metres off the Wine Trail.
What a great place! The wines and fortified were amazing, varied and plentiful. We didn't taste a single gin or whisky, but I understand they're just as wonderful as the delicious, well-priced wines and fortified. If you like a good drop and friendly and knowledgeable staff - make sure to stop at Buller!
This afternoon we visited Buller Wines and had the very best experience at the cellar door than we have ever had in over 40 years of wine tastings. Peter was the best host ever. His wine making knowledge that he shared with us was exceptional. He was extremely friendly and accomodating. We tasted a great array of red and white wines and fortified wines. They were all awesome. We will definitely be returning to Bulller on our next visit to Rutherglen. Overall brilliant experience that is highly recommended. Thank you very much Peter.
Called in for a cheeky gin tasting, my husband had the wine. Enjoyed with a gluten-free cheese plater, in their spacious gardens. We Recommend Buller wines, they do have a restaurant but we didn't go to that.
We had such an amazing experience, it’s very kid friendly, which made the visit so enjoyable for the whole family. The two lovely ladies who looked after us were warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. I highly recommend Buller Wines for a relaxing and memorable wine experience!

James and Co. Wines is a unique cellar door located in the heart of Main Street, Rutherglen.

The winemaker, Ricky James, has garnered praise for his exceptional red wines, particularly the Sangiovese Cabernet. Visitors rave about the incredible array of wines offered at James and Co., especially their delicious Italian varieties.
Very welcoming and great concept of "make your own cheese platter." The Smoked Trout Dip was devine! Such great service and wine tasting. We had a lovely bottle of James & Co Durif and a Rose' in the open, funky dog friendly back area .. we loved it! This is such a gem in Rutherglen...

Georgie & Ricky hosted our pre wedding drinks with pizza supplied by Five Letters. Fabulous venue and wonderful & accomodating hosts. I highly recommend this venue.
we just walked in. huge welcome from the boss lady in glasses!
very helpful with her knowledge about her range of wines and was also helpful in guiding us to other wineries in the area to cater to our taste.
we will definitely be back for more moscato!!!
ps. love the triple j on the radio!!
“sharing the love”… with all the previous reviews… absolute pleasure to meet Ricky. Perfect laid back wine tasting ambiance and experience… smack in the heart of charming Rutherglen.
Lots of space, but it feels cosy. The staff were friendly, and the wine was great. Perfect spot to taste the regions goods.
You can’t go wrong having a cellar door/bar in Rutherglen’s main st. Very relaxing place for a pre-dinner drink. The James’s are both very lovely and easy to chat with.
I must leave a review for anyone keen on wine, particulary red wine. I stumbled across James & Co in Rutherglen, approximately 2 years ago. Not wanting to walk out empty handed, I purchased a bottle of Sangiovese Cabernet.
Staying in Beechworth, I tried the bottle the next night for dinner ……. Amazing!!!!
The following day I returned to purchase a dozen bottles for when I arrived back in Melbourne. Needless to say, I’m on the mailing list, and receive a couple of purchases a year.
Do yourself a favour and drop in to grab a couple of bottles, you will be back.
Cheers 🍷
Great place to spend and afternoon having a few drinks. The staff let us in to have a quick spritz before they closed for a private function that night

The company's excellent communication and attention to detail make for a seamless day out.

Had such a fabulous day touring with Woody for our recent ‘’Back to Hometown’’ tour. We visited 5 boutique wineries, a detour coffee stop and a visit to the cattle yards on request!! A memorable fun day spent with friends. Looking forward to booking another tour, maybe a mystery one, or country thrift, or all things big 🤔

Wow. We had the absolute most wonderful and magical day with Woody!!!! This was truly the best service we have ever had. Woody you are sensational and we miss you already! You went above and beyond for us and it was such an awesome day in all our lives we will remember forever. 🫶🏼 So looking forward to next time ✨💫💘💖🌈 Will be booking again and will be telling everyone to book with Woody!! 💓💓💓
What an absolute fabulous day we spent with Woody and his Kombi! Each winery had a delicious selection of wines, whiskey and gin. The day itself would not have been if it weren't for Woody! Thank you so much for making our day so incredible! And putting up with our singing! Highly recommend this experience! 😁🍷🍺🍸
Over the seniors week 4 of us took a trip to Albury. We hired Woody from Little Kombi Company On Wednesday 9th October to take us all on a winery tour. We were picked up and from the beginning Woody was so personable and happy. There were 3 drinkers and 1 non drinker. Communication was brilliant with fast replies from the gegco.
We did a 7 hr relaxed tour and we all had fun, great lunch at De Bortoli and fabulous choices of wineries and distilleries which suited our tastes. Can not recommend Woody and his brilliant concept more highly. If in Albury/Wodonga, just do it. You will not regret it.
My friends and I recently had the absolute pleasure of going on a winery tour in Beechworth with the wonderful Woody! The tour itself was incredibly well-organized, and Woody was passionate about the destinations we visited and made sure we all felt comfortable and had smiles on our faces all day. He went above and beyond in ensuring we had the best day and we couldn’t be more grateful! The van was not only super clean and comfortable but also beautifully decorated and had a speaker, chilled water and lolly snakes inside too 🥰Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just looking for a relaxing, wine-filled day, Woody nails it!🍷🌈🫶
Had the best time with Woody for our winery tour. He was booked out but organised with the other group to juggle both of us and the other group kindly agreed to it. We had a great day, Woody organised the itinerary and was prompt and such a guide for the day. Nothing was too much trouble and even offered to do a stop at the iga for dessert on the way home.
The kombi was awesome, so well looked after including water bottles and tunes. Not to mention a personal photographer for us.
Highly recommend will definitely be booking again if we head back down there!
Thanks Woody!
Woody and his Kombi were the perfect addition to our wedding day. He was so efficient and went above and beyond while driving us and our bridal party around, offering such a fun experience on our big day. Woody is a legend and was so easy to communicate and work with. Thanks so much Woody for being a part of our amazing day!
We had a wonderful day out with Woody for a very special birthday.
Everything was pitch perfect, from the birthday decorations in the kombi, to the relaxed approach to the day and good conversation along the way.
Would highly recommend Woody for any occasion. He knows his stuff and is also a really nice bloke.

Morris Wines, an iconic winery in Rutherglen with over 150 years of history, is known for its tradition of combining old-fashioned methods with modern techniques. The vineyard is one of the oldest in the region and offers a unique experience with its extensive tastings of reds and fortified wines. Visitors are greeted by friendly staff and can enjoy a warm and welcoming environment while learning about the winemaking process.
The new cellar door must be seen to be believed (don’t miss the bathrooms 😄) It is truly a work of art and the decor and use of local timbers is just stunning. Michelle? took me through a flight of great whisky’s and it was great to see that Morris has become the latest Whisky Club clubhouses with all the great benefits that club members derive 🥰🥰. This cellar door is a must if you are visiting Rutherglen.

This is a most impressive and modern cellar door. With tasting options for wine, whiskey, gin and beer, plus food options as well, something for everyone. I went for their wine and dessert wines, and these were purchased, but did not expect the high quality in their whisky and gin range, that also made the box of joy I took to the car. An enjoyable, and educational, experience.
Had a great experience here yesterday. The staff were knowledgeable about both the wines and whisky and were happy to help. The venue itself is stunning as well and despite the cool weather was perfect inside.
Highly recommend the whisky and wine flights.
Very impressive building and surrounds. Great amenities. Very stylish. But such a disappointing wine tasting experience. No charm. No chat from the serving staff - just paid wine tasting on a tray and charge not deducted from purchase of wine - disgraceful. Wines were beautiful, though. Experience was not.
A beautiful winery with a really nice space to sit and relax. I photographed a wedding celebration here so would be the perfect spot for a small event. Staff were really lovely
Exceptional service, great wines, beautiful scenery! We arrived around 330pm on a Wednesday afternoon, we didn’t make an appointment and still got a warm welcome. We were offered to taste wines for free and had the greatest chat with the staff member (I forgot to ask for his name!!). We didn’t have to buy anything even though we tasted 6-7 drinks but trust me, you will want to take a bottle home! So we did buy 4 of them on the spot. :) we got some great tips about campsites in the area and now ended up in a beautiful spot (for free!) at the riverfront thanks to the recommendation we got. great experience and warmly recommended!
I've been there a couple times now and each time has been a wonderful experience. The place looks amazing and the wines and whiskeys are great and taste delicious. The staff there brit,Courtney and David have made the experience pleasurable and I have received first class treatment from them all. I will definitely be going back again !
Visited morris wines on Saturday and wow just how amazing.
The lady that served us was so lovely and patient. The chef was brilliant ( food was amazing)

Fantastic lunch here on a beautiful Saturday. There guys have got a very interesting menu, very gourmet style food here, and I loved how they have wine paring suggestions with each item on the menu.
We decided to sit in the courtyard dining area outside, loved the eclectic feel to this place. We began by ordering coffees, and they were perfectly made to our liking. After coffee, we ordered the fresh house made bread with Dukkah and olive oil as an appetiser, and for mains I had the chilli dusted baked Sardines, and the missus had the potato gnocchi. Wow! The food here is just next level, and they are very fast service too. The owner lady was very engaging to her customers, friendly and very professional hostess. Prices are pretty good here, considering the quality and calaber of the food and the overall dining experience.

Always a delight dining at The Pickled Sisters. The staff and exceptionally kind and lovely always, the food is incredibly delicious and the venue is such a warm, cozy and inviting space. We absolutely love coming and thoroughly enjoyed our Mother’s Day Lunch this year.
We contacted Pickled Sister Friday afternoon to enquire about options for a bikeride picnic for the following day. The staff were so helpful and accommodating, especially with dietary requirements. We had the most delightful 3 courses packed with all the required cutlery, crockery, etc. The food was so awesome. We rode to various wineries who all were great in allowing us to use their tables to eat and also to select the perfect accompanying wine. Can't recommend this service enough.
We rang & booked last minute & were pleased to find tonight was a burgers & tunes night, how lucky were we? The staff were so friendly & attentive, the burgers were amazing & so were the desserts we couldn’t resist! The drinks list was great & not expensive. The “tunes” were easy to listen to without drowning out conversation. A fabulous night out!!
Well worth a visit. Menu is flexible with small meals or mains. Bread and Butter pudding was amazing! Staff and Service top notch, friendly, warm and an excellent 'all rounder'. (Outside is an eclectic experience as well, with good heating and knee rugs if needed)

Thank you for yet another delicious meal that helped us to celebrate Father's Day.
There were highlights, which must include the soufflé, which was so soft and light that it could have floated away. Also, the sardines were pretty special, in their presentation as well as flavour.
Lots of new tastes,
Thanks again

Had some really good coffee and hot chocolate at the Pickled Sisters Cafe and Restaurant in Rutherglen. The coffee and hot chocolate were excellent and so was the service by the excellent wait staff.. if you are in Rutherglen do yourself a favour and go to the Pickled sisters Cafe
Marion & the team at Pickled Sisters were amazing. Made my 40th birthday lunch something to remember! Food was absolutely delicious & as always the duck was melt in your mouth Yummo.
No request was too big & very accommodating especially with the many kids running around in the private function space. Thanks so much can’t wait to be back 😊

Took myself 4 doors down to Thousand Pound, geez I’m glad I did !

Lovely quiet night in Rutherglen, which was prime ground for a lovely drink and exceptional food. Staff were welcoming and friendly and the beef skewer was a brilliant combination of Asian fusion flavours. Next time I’ll be back for a full feast.
We had a lovely night .. food was tasty ..staff were friendly .. company was good .. we had MBS7 sreak with mash, rainbow trout with kiffler potatoes and then we had muscat affogato for desert. All was top notch. Do yourself a flavour and check it out.
Our recent dinner at One Thousand Pound wine bar epitomised how skilfully crafted food, served in a relaxed yet attentive atmosphere, can be utter joy.
To the kitchen, bravo. Front of house, also, bravo. Accolades to the menu writers, we would have liked to sample everything. We noted the focus on local wines too. Special mention of the Murray Cod salad, yum.
Both the food and wine demand your attention, congratulations to the team.
Truely wonderful experience! The service was exemplary from start to finish and at the same quality as my meal - a true joy!
I got the Venison Pho - my favourite food is Pho and I’ve been to Vietnam a few times, so finding a new favourite bowl was surprising and joyful. Do yourself a favour and heat a TP Negroni while you’re at it Thanks Thousand Pound!
We had a great night at Thousand Pound when we arrived to Rutherglen. The starters we had were amazing - duck wings!!! The artichoke risotto was surprising good with a lot of artichoke but the steak was a bit blue compared to the medium rare that we ordered. Our host, Tiernan, was amazing and gave us great recommendations to go with our meals. But all the staff were great. Would recommend!!
Dropped in early evening for a chill out before going to my intended camp site on the Murray River. I was alone for most of my visit but a group turned up and I had a conversation at the bar. I enjoyed the wine & beer! The decor is good too. Very friendly & smiling staff to be had here!
Whenever I visit Rutherglen, this restaurant is always top of my list for places to eat as well as a great selection of wine. Always enjoy the tapas style starters and the hanger steak is cooked perfectly.

A must when visiting Rutherglen and surrounds.
We have been visiting for 5-6 years and this place consistently delivers the BEST olives and the BEST olive oil.
Our house favourites are the Gooramadda style olives and the Hardy’s mammoth oil.
Their products are in a league of their own and visiting is a must to have a chat and learn about oil and olives. It’s no surprise their produce wins awards year after year.
Thanks so much!
We had such a terrific tasting experience with Rob at Gooramadda Olives on Sunday. We've made many trips to Rutherglen without visiting this gem of place - now it will be a regular. The olives we tried were the best I've had, and Rob was very generous with his knowledge. Recommend this to anyone who loves a good olive.
What a gem! We had a lovely time with Rob, generous with tastings and also with his hospitality. Entertaining, informative and very very good quality products. Ill be putting in regular orders for my friends who live locally, to bring with them when they visit us in SA. Thoroughly recommend.
An impromptu visit to this seemingly small boutique olive grove, was full of surprises.Awards galore, not only for the amazing varieties of olives and pickled olives , but also for various other in shop goods.Rob taught us how to savour olives , and eat them like connoisseurs, and matched them with wines and cheese.No pressure sales, just a thoroughly enjoyable visit.Thanks Rob👏🏻👏🏻
Highlight of the day. Not only does Rob produce award winning olives but has a wealth of local knowledge. Rare to see such passion about his industry. Learned a lot today. Highly recommended when you are in Albury/Wodonga
Absolutely superb! Rob was knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful experience tasting different olives, oils and other delicious goods. Highest quality of produce clearly made with pure love. Thank you for a fantastic experience! Strongly recommend to all!!
Such a great visit with Ron, we enjoyed tastings of olives and olive oils, also really enjoyed an informative chat with Ron, was a great time out, with great service and produce we will definitely be back. He has a great knowledge of Rutherglen & Corowa and olives. Thanks Ron 😊

During the Tastes of Rutherglen wine festival in 2023, a group of individuals discovered Olive Hills Estate and were immediately captivated by its picturesque and relaxed atmosphere. They were amazed by the delectable wines and the secret family recipe for their pizza base. The staff, who seemed more like an extended family, were welcoming, passionate, and attentive to their needs. Additionally, two charming dogs added to the charm of the place.
I was lucky enough to photograph Sally and Narelle’s wedding here last March and let me tell you, what a venue! Olive Hills Estate is stunning with its iconic fig tree and high tower, its charmingly rustic barn and its beautiful outdoor canapé/reception area, especially at sunset.
Olive hills hosts picturesque views in every direction and provides an abundance of gorgeous locations to take photographs and capture some great memories. The staff are brilliant and the hosts take it to the next level as well, and the wine definitely doesn’t miss either.
This was my second time there and I can’t wait to hopefully be back for my third one day soon.
What a place to get married and throw one big celebration!

Beautiful Winery with some great wines. We just got back from the "Tastes of Rutherglen" weekend. Some of the better wines we tasted were from this winery. I particularly enjoyed the rose.
The entertainment (music) was playing when we arrived and was very good and much appreciated. The setting here was very nice too. We're looking forward to when we're next in the region.
Visited this beautiful Winery on the King's birthday weekend. Wow. The best wines on the whole trip came from here. Outstanding service and very friendly owners and staff. Found my new favourite winery in the region with the best wines. Will definitely be back there soon.
Thanks for a great time, Ross and Kay.
We visited this lovely family-owned winery over the weekend and were absolutely impressed! The wines are exceptional. Each one crafted with such care, thought and passion. There is a fantastic variety to discover and Ross made the experience even better with his warmth and knowledge. A beautiful visit from start to finish, highly recommended!
Another wonderful cellar door experience. Loved the rustic venue and outdoor dining area. Their red wines, most with a bit of age, are superb.
Thank You Ross, it was a pleasure to stop by for a tasting and a chat. Loved the Prosecco, Cab Sav & du Cluse. The cows and beautiful location were just a bonus. Looking forward to a revisit, next time 😃
Rich family history, incredible wine and cellar door. Not often do you have a tasting run by the head winemaker, a must visit in the region!
Popped in for and enjoyed a great tasting. Great selection of wines and very hospitable people there. Left with several bottles! Thank you!!

Bakery
Rutherglen Bakery is a cozy breakfast spot with a limited but special breakfast menu. The raisin toast, although thickly cut, can be a bit cold, and the coffee might be on the weaker side. However, the pleasant courtyard and free wifi with a whimsical password make for a charming atmosphere. They also offer great smoothies. Additionally, they are known for their hot, soft, and fresh bread available at a special price when buying three loaves.
Great breakfast food, simple but delicious - no smashed avocado here! Outdoor eating area and scrummy bakery items

This cafe has a special breakfast menu posted - there are only a few breakfast places in town. My raisin toast was thickly cut, but a bit cold, and the coffee a bit weak, but we sat in a pleasant courtyard, and wifi was free, and even had a whimsical password. They are set up to make really good smoothies, that's what I'd order next time.
I am here for bread a couple times a week. They do a great 3 loaf special price. It's hot, soft and fresh. The staff are freindly and they open early. It wiuld be a five star review if i could pay by card.
The Salad rolls that my wife ordered were really nice..... BUT!.
At 1:30pm. Today. The girl making them missed half the order..... she wasn't listening.
The third Roll was never made.
So the was to be recipient of that salad roll quickly bought a sausage roll so as not to keep waiting longer. We were now out of time.
Maybe get your girls to listen and get the whole order... writing things down never killed any one ?
We had already walked out of a bakery across the road because the service there was shockingly slow.
Maybe your takings might even go up?
Thank you
Overcharged on order, limited cake selection. Needs to get staple likes ie. Apple turnovers, lamingtons. Reconsider your prices, you are not a restaurant.
Great place for a quick snack and coffee, right in the main street. Good food, good coffee, good service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Recommended.
Went for breakfast with a group of 10, liked it so much we went back. Great food and nice staff.
I was asked, after I placed my drink on the counter, "is that it?" After looking at the food on offer, I decided to go elsewhere. I said "yep"and left without buying anything.

A lady was there inspecting the BBQ while we was there making sure thay was clean aswell so that's a plus as well . HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
Nice little Skate park with beautiful views & loads of shade! Great place for a family BBQ or day out! Skate park is my happy place. I'm a Derby girl.
Really nice clean playground BBQ, s a little bit of history about our Anzac,s worth the visit to rutherglen
Beautiful lawned area, clean and tidy public toilets. Park situated corner of murray street, high street.
Nice place to visit with kids. Peaceful pond/lake(?) to sit down and listen to birds.
Great set up for the kids. Excellent covered BBQ and table area and great lawn under awesome big trees. Toilets could use a bit of an upgrade and brightening up. Overall a pretty good set up.
A fantastic spot to bring the kids to burn off some energy. A skate park, large playground, toilets, BBQs, off street parking and a little bike track with traffic signals all there to enjoy. Shady spots to sit, and lovely views over the Lake.

Lovely tasting room, superb wines, loved the sparkling Shiraz and beautiful smooth fortified wines with a lovely aftertaste on the palette.

Had the pleasure of meeting a lovely gentleman who works there with his mother and father. He was very informative and welcoming. Their wines are absolutely beautiful. I signed up for the 6 wines every 12months. Supporting local businesses like this is rewarding. Highly recommend visiting!!
Andrew was very generous with his time and the wines were very consistently very good to excellent especially the durif and sparkling Shiraz. Definitely worth visiting
What an exceptional wine tasting experience! Andrew Buller owner and wine maker was an incredible host and treated us with the upmost respect and care.
A must stop! Wine’s incredible, Fortifieds spectacular limited , and sparkling gorgeous with a beautiful label.
Thank you Andrew, we’ll see you again soon, Danny & Kath and John & Nas
This has to be one of my favorite wineries. Second visit here and I love being greeted by their cute doggies. Very picturesque grounds surrounding the house and an ideal spot for a picnic after the tasting. The wine here is faultless and we bought some bubbles, a red and fortified to keep us going during our stay in Rutherglen and also joined the wine club for future enjoyment.
What a gem! Super spot that is a relaxed and fun hang for adults and kids... oh... and they serve a great wine too (with a smile). Try their Canbobie sparkling shiraz, is awsome.
Love love love their wines ! Such a beautiful place to visit as well

We really enjoyed this small town Chinese for lunch. For the $18 lunch special - a meat and fried rice - was excellent value for a quality Chinese dish. It was super yum! The service was very good - the time to serve was very quick. Fir good pub Chinese this was great. Recommend.
Still waiting for our food after 45 minutes!! Tables around us who came much later were served before us!
When I asked where our order was they apologised and said it’s coming ! Still waiting!!!
After another 15 minutes part of the order arrived!
We were told ‘very sorry about the wait the chef messed up’ not good enough!
Still waiting!
Part order arrived and my vegetarian Singapore noodles arrived after a further 10 minutes part.
Very disappointed- the noodles were gluggy and overcooked and wet! Not at all like Singapore noodles are meant to be.
Overall a poor experience.
Spent $57.50 on 2 pieces of spring rolls, small steamed rice, vegetarian Singapore noodles and a pork dish.
Spent $22 on draft beer waiting for dinner.
My grandson was falling asleep by the time dinner arrived.
Entry off the side street.
Usual country chinese restaurant, with lots of different nationalities working in the same place.
Lunch pack was plentiful, filling & reasonably priced @ $20 for dine in.
Service was fast & friendly.
Sweet & sour pork was delicious and well worth the money.
I thought the fried rice was a little bland.
Would eat here again if in the mood for chinese.
A little confused getting there first time, but this Chinese restaurant could be moved to Wangaratta and not be out of place. Or anywhere else. My Food was served on a hot metal plate and was delicious..I will go there again soon. The cooks are genuine masters at their trade and I ducked in to say thank you all..velly nice with flied lice LOL. My Chinese friends thought so too
Horrible service!! I called to place an order, the woman on the phone was very passive aggressive and rude! An older Australian woman I didn’t get her name. When I arrived to pick up my order, 3 vegetarian fried rice I noticed there was meat. I asked is this vegetarian? Which obviously it wasn’t. The rude lady butted in and glared at me and said I didn’t ask for that and that she took my order. I said I 100% asked for vegetarian which she aggressively pulled each one out whilst shaking and said well you’re going to have to wait then. I had to then wait another 15 minutes for my correct order. I have worked in customer service and know that you can have a bad day but that was no reason for her to be so aggressive towards me! Definitely needs and attitude adjustment!!
Excellent food. We dined on a busy Saturday night, the locals clearly know a good Chinese restaurant. Will be back next time.
Amazing food as always. Always a great meal.

Was open today and very informative and interesting look at the past history
Worth a visit when open, and free
During the seventies I went to boarding school here...we never ventured to this place... I was fascinated by the historical significance of this Battery. Well done for the opening Keys weekend.
A fascinating place to visit. Not much to do, but interesting nonetheless. Can be in and out in 15 minutes.
A quirk of the visit is that you're given a code to let yourself in! Quite delightful really.
Wow what a place a must see when going to Rutherglen the History and sometimes they run the Battery ,and Guys this place runs on Donations and Give as these guy's do a tremendous Job
Best kept secret!! Very interesting and informative. You need to get a keyboard entry code from the Rutherglen Info Centre first.
Get the free passcode from tourist office to enter the building and watch the video about how this gold stamper works. Very interesting.
Don't forget to get the PIN from tourist information in town so you can get inside the battery!

Butcher shop
Rutherglen Butchery is a hidden gem that offers top-quality meats and exceptional customer service. The friendly lady butcher adds a personal touch to the experience. Additionally, the butcher shop supports R. Primary School by selling fresh produce grown by the school to raise funds for purchasing seeds and supporting student learning initiatives. It's definitely worth stopping by to explore their offerings.
Went into the butcher to get something I could roast. Picked chicken mignon. It was nothing short of magnificent! Beautiful quality chicken, no fat - wrapped in bacon and stuffed with herb pesto and a cheese. It was topped with a delicious marinade/ sauce🩷🩷. I would also like to thank the staff for being soooo friendly and super helpful. We're from Canberra but I'm definitely hoping to get back soon.

Premium scotch fillet , yeah right .. was tough as leather… If your in Albury , go to Borella Rd Butchers for consistency … They are premium…
I ordered 800g of lamb shoulder and got 205 fat and 739 of meat and fat as I couldn't remove all of if. When I complained it was my fault. I was a regular but I won't be back.
Called in this morning when riding through town and what a find this place was. Quality meats and lovely friendly service, from a lady butcher as well. Call in and check them out.
This butcher supports R. Primary school by having fresh produce school grows to raise money to buy seeds and continue for students to learn

We had a lovely dinner there tonight after the Victoria Hotel would not serve their full menu to dog owners in their beer garden. What a lucky find though with Grace: lovely staff, great food and excellent local wines. We loved all of it. Highly recommended.♥️
Helmut O — Google review
We went there on Tuesday night, billed as their Neighbourhood Night. Only one main and one dessert. Service was very good and meal was also very good. Atmosphere was convivial. Only negative was the exorbitant wine price. One bottle was $60 more than the retail price from the Winery. That's almost 3 times the retail price. I understand the need to make a profit but cannot condone this magnitude of mark up.
Had a fantastic time here for a small family celebration. Staff were super friendly and attentive with good banter. Good was delicious too and of course the wine! We also got a few cocktails which were also yummy. Items in the picture include the gnocchi, flathead fillets, croquettes, potato cakes and the ham and cheese puff.
Awesome experience!
We sat at the bar and had a phenomenal dinner. Erica, one of the owners, personally served us some incredible wine and food and also gave us some recommendations.
Went for the neighbourhood dinner, and it didn't disappoint.
Will be returning for another feed and to try the cocktails!
We had an amazing meal at Grace Bar Rutherglen! The house-made sourdough was the perfect start, followed by the prosciutto and cheddar croquettes – absolutely delicious. The standout was the eye fillet steak – melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Beautiful food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service. Highly recommend if you're in Rutherglen!
Excellent food, outstanding service. Thank you for being so accommodating for us with our boisterous (but hopefully polite) young kids. Will be back for a date night without the kids for sure.
What a find. We lucked upon this wonderful restaurant in the main street of Rutherglen. Wonderful service and food (especially the desserts) as well as wine selection. Lovely ambience.
My 2nd visit and it was fabulous again. Service friendly and professional. Food outstanding. The steak tartare served on a potato scallop was to die for. Great wines. Highly recommend

The Victoria Hotel Rutherglen is a historic 19th-century establishment with cozy accommodations. It features relaxed rooms and offers amenities such as a pub, beer garden, and playground. Upon arrival, guests are warmly greeted and directed to the comforting wood fire to escape the cold. The service provided is exceptional, and the food served is outstanding.
Had the pleasure of visiting Rutherglen over the weekend and came across a gem in the Victoria Hotel. This establishment has been beautifully restored to an incredibly high standard. The accommodation is luxurious, the bar is well stocked with a focus on local producers. The meals were exceptional, we loved the steak, trout rillette and pillow bread (plus a special mention for the hot chips that were seasoned perfectly). Wait staff were very attentive and the hosts Matt and Kate were extremely helpful. We highly recommend a visit.
Robert M — Google review
We dined here last weekend. The place is amazing and has been so tastefully renovated. We will definitely visit again although I do have to say we were disappointed with our meals. The entree oysters was great, then there was quite a large gap before our main meals arrived. The scotch fillet was tough and chewy and cooked medium not medium rare as requested. The pork was okay but both meals were on the cooler side not hot. The most interesting thing was the service was amazing and very very attentive until our main meals arrived and then they lost interest in us quickly, -nobody asked how our meals were or how things went which was a bit of a red flag considering the delay for our mains to come out. Although our experience was disappointing, which is contrary to a lot of the reviews, we would love to return and visit there again.
We had lunch booked for 8. On arrival the welcome was good but once seated at table the lady serving rushed us into ordering a drink without being able to relax for a few moments and look at drink list. Then so shortly after tried to get our order. When we said we were not ready as only had been seated for a few minutes, it was then quite a bit of time before she came back to the table. One drink was so long in coming. The main meal was so disappointing as it is expensive. The lamb for two was not of the quantity it should be for 2 and then two side plates were given to use for the 2 people. These were cold. The pork chop was not done sufficiently. The other lamb was apparently not very tasty. The only good meal out of 8 was the steak!!! The music was poor on the day just a loud, unpleasant sound - you can do much better than this. I am afraid we are locals and cannot recommend The Victoria at present. I hope it improves.
We chose to spend my significant birthday at The Vic with a good friends. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. The hotel accommodation was absolutely gorgeous and extra touches in our room such as chocolates and a free drink card just added to the welcoming aspect. We were able to use the library together before dinner, which really created a fabulous atmosphere. Having drinks outside on the balcony was just a perfect way to start the evening. We had dinner in the private dining room “Gollings”, and the food was spectacular. So plentiful and delicious. My friends are all still raving about it. Beth was a wonderful hostess making sure that our drinking requirements were constantly filled! I cannot recommend The Victoria Hotel highly enough. I want to relive every single moment. Here’s cheers to the next significant birthday. Thank you for giving me the best birthday ever.
Wow described our experience, we stayed in the beautiful, freshly renovated room, upon arrival we sat in the courtyard and savoured locally produced Rose of French style, then had a magnificent meal in the main dining area accompanied by a fantastic Pinot noir (also local produced), all the staff were amazing. I must say the Victoria hotel is a must visit and we will definitely be back. Rutherglen is a pretty town and deserves more than one night as there is heaps to see a do, can’t wait to come back.
I was in for lunch on Saturday for my sister-in-laws birthday (party of six). Wow the hotel looks amazing, staff and food also excellent. The young man who served us was friendly and professional. We all had a great experience and can't wait to come back. Loved the menu and option to share dishes around the table.
Our dining experience was simply superb. The Victoria Hotel restaurant is an oasis of fine dining in rural Victoria and set amongst some of Australia's finest vineyards.
Our meals (eye fillet, Tuna) were delicious and wonderfully presented. Service was 1st class...we wish that there was a similar "pub" experience in Brisbane.
Well done to all the staff.
My partner and I dined at the hotel. The service was wonderful without being over powering. Thoughtful suggestions and insights from Beth - the staff member who looked after on the evening. The food was great. Try the pillow bread as a starter - my partner who is of Italian heritage said it reminded her of own mother's dish of the same kind. We finished the evening with a sampling of 4 local Muscats - another great suggestion from Beth. Highly recommend
