About the Rutherglen Wine Show
For over 138 years, the Rutherglen Wine Show has been a proud showcase of Australian winemaking excellence. As one of the nation’s oldest and most respected wine shows, it brings together producers from across the country to celebrate craftsmanship, innovation, and the enduring spirit of the wine industry. From established icons to emerging vineyards, every entry tells a story of passion, place, and the pursuit of perfection.
A Legacy of Excellence and Community
Hosted by the Rutherglen Agricultural Society, the show is deeply rooted in community tradition and regional pride. Each year, local volunteers, expert judges, and exhibitors unite to create an event that not only honours great wine but also strengthens Rutherglen’s reputation as one of Australia’s most historic wine regions. With a focus on integrity, education, and progress, the Rutherglen Wine Show continues to inspire winemakers and enthusiasts alike.
2025 Show Wrap-Up
The 137th Annual Rutherglen Wine Show once again celebrated the very best in Australian winemaking. This year’s event highlighted the growing strength of Iberian varieties — a fitting nod to Rutherglen’s heritage in fortified wines and its evolving embrace of new styles. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the 12 judges, 10 associate judges, and all exhibitors whose dedication makes the show possible. As we close another successful year, we invite winemakers and exhibitors to register their interest for the 138th Rutherglen Wine Show in 2026 — and continue the tradition of excellence that defines Rutherglen.
