Albury Wodonga is in the heart of a prestigious wine country, with award-winning vintages just a scenic drive away.

From effervescent Proseccos in the King Valley to luxurious Muscats in Rutherglen, embark on a journey of taste and tradition, where every sip tells a story.

Albury

Nestled a stone’s throw away from Albury CBD, Splitter’s Creek Vineyard is ready to welcome you every Saturday and Sunday. The first winery to grace Albury in over 70 years, each vintage is hand-crafted by the owner, and every vine tended to with care. Savour these unique wines in a historic cottage steeped in family history.

Rutherglen

Rutherglen winemakers began planting vineyards over 160 years ago, creating a legacy of deep, complex reds and fortifieds. None deeper than the Durif grape, the first of its kind to be planted in Australia. You can still taste these old classics, alongside a new generation of winemakers producing more approachable and relaxed wines perfect for a relaxing afternoon.
