Explore the Rutherglen Loops.
The Rutherglen Loops are a 48km network of interconnected cycling and walking trails linking Rutherglen, Wahgunyah, Lake Moodemere, cellar doors, historic landmarks, country roads and the Murray River.
The network includes four main loops, allowing you to choose a ride that suits your time, fitness and plans for the day. Take a short village ride, follow the trail towards the river, explore lake country, or make a full day of cellar doors, scenery and long lunch stops.
The Rutherglen Loops are ideal for relaxed touring, e-bike adventures and visitors who want to experience the region without needing to get back in the car.
From The Victoria, guests are well placed to access Rutherglen township, local cellar doors and trail connections.
Murray to Mountains Rail Trail.
Rutherglen is also part of the broader Murray to Mountains Rail Trail experience, one of Victoria’s best-known recreational cycling routes through North East Victoria.
The local Rutherglen to Wahgunyah section connects Rutherglen with the Murray River at Wahgunyah, making it a great option for a gentle out-and-back ride, a morning spin, or an easy e-bike adventure.
For guests wanting to explore further, the wider Murray to Mountains Rail Trail links some of the High Country’s best-known food, wine and village destinations, including Wangaratta, Milawa, Beechworth, Myrtleford, Bright, Rutherglen and Wahgunyah.
Stay, Dine and Ride.
For guests who want to make cycling part of their Rutherglen escape, our Ride & Rest package brings together boutique accommodation, local food and wine, and easy access to the region by bike.
Designed for a relaxed getaway rather than a hard-core cycling holiday, Ride & Rest is perfect for guests who want to explore the Rutherglen Loops, visit cellar doors, ride to the Murray River, enjoy the village and return to The Victoria for fire-led dining and a king suite upstairs.
Guests staying at The Victoria can also access an exclusive discount with Rutherglen E-Bike Hire, making it easy to experience the region without bringing your own bike.
After a day on the bike, settle in with a drink in the public bar or beer garden, then stay for lunch or dinner in our award-winning restaurant, where fire-led cooking and North East Victorian produce are at the heart of the menu.
Our restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, with bookings strongly recommended.
