Rutherglen Loops

Ride. Rove. Relish.

Explore Rutherglen's world-class wine region on 48km of interconnected trails linking historic cellar doors, the Murray River, and Lake Moodemere.

Adventure through Victoria's premier wine country on the 48km Rutherglen Loops trail network. Well-signed and maintained, these four distinct loops cater to everyone from casual wanderers to keen cyclists, with options ranging from quick 4km circuits to the full 23km Wine Loop experience. Stop at cellar doors along the way, enjoy lunch with vineyard views, and discover the mighty Murray River. Perfect for year-round exploration, each season brings its own charm – from summer swims at Lake Moodemere to autumn's golden vineyard vistas.
