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.
We had a lovely friendly young lady service us . Very helpful and a nice experience on Sunday. Beautiful gardens and buildings.
Great family owned winery, with interesting selection of wines. Muscats were superb. A stroll amongst the any wine barrels was a wondrous experience.
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.

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!

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 Friendly staff Heaps tabletop sit and eat
Friendly staff who are eager to assist. Well set out with plenty of info and gifts. Car park is big enough. Worth a visit when in town.

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.

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 :)

A MUST place to visit in Rutherglen! What a wonderful experience we had with Rob, he is so knowledgable, friendly and welcoming. We walked away with so much knowledge about olives, olive oil and dressings. If you are an olive aficionado or just want to give it a try, this is the place for you. Highly recommended!
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 😊
