An Albury holiday isn’t complete without a 48-km trip to Rutherglen for a day of wine tasting. There’s around 17 different wineries within the town’s limits, so you won’t have a problem finding a suitable one to sample the goods. A couple of these wineries are considered some of the world’s best by wine aficionados, so they must be good. The wine experts could just be a bunch of drunks who enjoy wine, but what’s the difference? If all you drank was the port, that’d be enough.
