About Rutherglen in the City | Canberra 2026
Rutherglen in the City Canberra 2026 is back — and we’re returning to the capital in true Rutherglen style.
Join us on Friday 10 July and Saturday 11 July as 17 of Rutherglen’s leading wineries take over the Members’ Room at Old Parliament House for two days of tasting, discovery and winter wine indulgence.
Sip your way through more than 100 wines, from regional icons like Durif and world-renowned Muscat, to exciting contemporary varieties including Alvarinho, Fiano, Grenache, Sangiovese and Tempranillo.
This year, you can also pull up a seat for our Wine Bar, Wine Chats masterclasses — relaxed pop-up conversations hosted by Rutherglen winemakers alongside Australian sommelier Samantha Payne. For just $5 per session with your ticket, explore everything from sustainable viticulture and food pairings to winemaking innovation.
Your early bird ticket is $50 and includes unlimited tastings across all winery pop-ups, plus a take-home tasting glass.
With gourmet food by MoAD, wines to purchase on-site, and the chance to take home a trolley load of Rutherglen favourites, this is your ultimate winter wine escape in the heart of Canberra.
