How you can taste 100 wines for $10 next weekend

That’s what we call bang for your buck. - by Laura Barry

How you can taste 100 wines for $10 next weekend

Whether you fancy a garden show, cheese festival or testing out the latest wine, the events calendar for October and November 2019 are quickly filling up with delightful ways to spend a weekend, and Rutherglen in the City is a great way to spend a weekend in Melbourne. 

Held in The Atrium at Federation Square in Melbourne on October 5 and 6, 2019, Rutherglen in the City is a two-day wine tasting event that showcases winemakers from north-east Victoria. This is one of the few places you’ll be able to try rare varietals such as muscat, durif, alvarinho, chenin blanc, Marsanne, roussanne, verner saperavi and topaque.

Drop in for a visit between 12pm and 5pm on the Saturday or Sunday and you’ll have the opportunity to taste more than 100 types of rare and boutique wines for a very pocket-friendly one-off entry fee of $10 – available online.

Two particular drawcards worth mentioning is the opportunity to taste the world-renowned Muscat of Rutherglen, a secret drink that sits somewhere between a wine and spirit. Unlike anything else produced anywhere in the world, Muscat of Rutherglen is rich, complex, mysterious, sensual and full of flavour. You’ll also be able to taste the Rutherglen region’s most celebrated drop, Rutherglen durif.

There will be food available at the location from Fed Square foodie favourite Beer Deluxe, plus chilled acoustic music from local duo act Hey Jack. You’ll even be able to purchase wines from the wine makers to stock up your wine collection.

Need another reason to go wine tasting? Science says it engages your brain more than any other behaviour. Watch the news story below.
