Rutherglen in the City 2023
This pop-up cellar door at the The Timber Yard is offering tastings of over 100 Victorian wines for $35.
Overview
Winemakers of Rutherglen have been doing good things with grapes for a while now out in northeast Victoria. But, luckily for Melbourne, they've decided to come cityside again this October for one-day wine event Rutherglen in the City.
The pop-up cellar door will situate itself at The Timber Yard at Port Melbourne from 11.30am–5.30pm on Saturday, October 14. Sixteen winemakers will take over the space, transforming it into an inner-city winery with over 100 different drops.
For $35 pre-purchased and $40 on the day, you'll get a free glass and be able to sample the best of the region's wine varieties, including durif and muscat, plus rare and boutique drops. The winemakers themselves will also be on-hand for a chat and, if something takes your fancy, you can even order a few bottles from them direct. There'll be a range of masterclasses you can partake in, too.
Full glasses of wine and other drinks can be purchased from the bar, and some nosh will be on sale. And to set the mood: live tunes.
