WINEMAKERS OF RUTHERGLEN
History
From Generation to Generation
It has been said that while Rutherglen was founded as a gold rush town, the real wealth existed in the few inches of topsoil, made rich and fertile by the Murray River and Lake Moodemere.
For more than 160 years winemakers and their families have called Rutherglen home and this special layer of dirt has produced vineyards and internationally acclaimed wines, from fortifieds and complex reds to new styles and varietals by a new and adventurous generation of makers and minds, staking their claim on the luscious soil.

Embrace the stories of history and nature along the Wahgunyah River Track Walk.
Autumn makes a perfect time for a crisp walk, surrounded by the majestic River Red Gum trees lining the tranquil Murray River.
Local Aboriginal artist Tommy McRae once wandered these lands, finding inspiration amidst the beauty of Lake Moodemere. His legacy adds another layer of depth to this scenic journey.
As you follow the trail`s path, you`ll stumble upon the Historic John Foord Pioneer Cemetery. A plaque commemorates the centenary year of the burial of John Foord II (1819 - 1883). He was the pioneer of the Wahgunyah Run and the township developed on his property. Foord named his 30,000 acre property Wahgunyah which was said to be a Whroo, the local Indigenous people’s name for ‘big camp’.
