About WINERY WALKABOUT 2022
THE OLDEST WINE FESTIVAL IN VICTORIA!
Since 1974, thousands of people have descended on Rutherglen for one of the biggest wine festivals in the country. A general admission ticket to Winery Walkabout gets you access to wine tastings, live music, entertainment, tours and more at over 18 wineries, making for an epic jam-packed, fun-filled long weekend!
There's a reason people have been coming back for Walkabout for over 45 years - find out for yourself and get your tickets!

¹ These tickets do not include access to our shuttle or regional bus.
This ticket is to be exchanged at the Rutherglen Showgrounds or your selected winery for a festival glass and wristband, which must be worn at all times.
SHUTTLE BUS + GENERAL ENTRY
Starting your day from the Festival Hub (at the Rutherglen Showgrounds) our Shuttle Bus service gives you unlimited hop on/hop off access to the buses servicing participating wineries. You can jump on any bus and visit your favourite wineries without needing to worry about a designated driver! You can even use our free wine check in service: check in your purchased wine with the bus driver and they'll safely store it for you at the Rutherglen Showgrounds for you to pick up at the end of the day, so you don't need to carry it around.
Use our specifically designed bus tracking software throughout the weekend to see how far away the buses are.
