Rutherglen is calling you for a perfect day out.

Coffee and a donut from Caffeine n machine , a wine tasting at Pfeiffer Wines (that Gamay though), then drinks and a “cheese your own adventure” plate at James & Co. Wines as the late afternoon sun rolls in. Perfection!

Mild weather, vines changing colour and a full day out. It’s hard to beat autumn in Rutherglen.

Here's our picks for a great day out:

Hire an e-bike from Rutherglen E-Bike Hire and cruise the Rutherglen Loops at your own pace. Then swing into De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate to check out the Aboriginal Exhibitions Gallery before ending the day with dinner and drinks at The Victoria Hotel Rutherglen. Take your time - there's plenty of cellar doors, local shops and hidden gems along the way.

Just a few minutes from Rutherglen, the River Loop walk in Wahgunyah is a genuinely beautiful way to spend a school holidays morning (or honestly, any morning).

It's 4km along the banks of the Murray. Flat, easy, unsealed and sealed riverside paths under towering gums. You can walk it in under an hour or cycle it in 20 minutes. The kids can dip their toes in at the sandy beach at Willows Reserve. Everyone can slow down and actually breathe for a bit.

Pack a picnic, download the Rutherglen Loops map and make a morning of it.
