High Country wine regions

All Saints Winery

Come for King Valley icons and discover new favourite wines in family-run boutique wineries in Rutherglen, the Alpine Valleys and other High Country wine regions.

One region, eight styles
You'll quaff a different style in each of the High Country's eight wine regions, depending on different climates, topography and history. Rutherglen is internationally revered for its fortifieds, while the Alpine Valleys' small vineyards turn out big chardonnays, and Beechworth winemakers innovate in the local cool climate.

The Med in the valleys
Find a small slice of the Mediterranean in the King Valley, where the Pizzinis, Dal Zottos and other families draw on heritage to set trends with Italian varietals, including prosecco, pinot grigio, and sangiovese. Stop in at these independent wineries and with luck the winemakers will be there to guide your tasting.

Wine with characters
Meet the characters whose passion and entrepreneurial spirit have influenced the quality of High Country wines. Milawa's Brown brothers continue to make world-class wines, while Rutherglen's Campbells, Chambers and Morris families pass their knowledge through generations.
