Why this event?

Swim the Murray… and finish at a winery

This one’s for swimmers who appreciate the finer things in life, like finishing your open water swim at a winery. The Morrisons Wharf to Winery Swim is as dreamy as it sounds, taking you down a scenic stretch of the Murray River with a finish line that lands you right on the lush lawn of Morrisons Winery.

It’s flat-water swimming with an indulgent twist: cool, glassy river water, eucalyptus-lined banks, birdsong overhead, and the promise of a chilled glass of something delicious at the end. Picture this: your stroke slicing through calm waters, the sun warming your back, and the scent of the vines drifting on the breeze.

This isn’t just a swim, it’s a vibe. Think regional charm, riverside relaxation, and the perfect blend of sport and spoils.

After you cross the finish, swap your swim cap for a sunhat and settle in for a long lunch, a cellar door tasting, or a picnic under the gums. Whether you’re here for the challenge, the chardonnay, or a bit of both, the Wharf to Winery Swim is the ultimate fusion of adventure and indulgence.

Make a weekend of it, this is one swim worth savouring.

What's on offer

1.5km River Swim

years

Short, scenic, and oh-so-satisfying, the 1.5km Wharf to Winery Swim is the perfect taste of river swimming with a delicious finish. Starting at the Victoria Park Boat Ramp, swimmers will head downstream under the striking new Dhungala Bridge, gliding through the calm waters of the Murray River and finishing at the floating pontoon on the lush banks of Morrisons Winery & Restaurant on the NSW side. It’s a relaxed, accessible swim that still delivers the full experience, stunning surrounds, gentle current, and that unbeatable feeling of stepping out of the water straight into post-swim celebrations. With food, wine, and live entertainment waiting at the finish, this is more than just a swim; it’s a highlight of the weekend. Ideal for newer swimmers, cruisers, or those wanting to soak up the river magic without going the full 3km.

3km River Swim

years

The signature event of the weekend, the 3km Wharf to Winery Swim is a spectacular downstream journey through one of Australia’s most iconic river landscapes. Starting near the historic Port of Echuca, swimmers make their way along a scenic stretch of the Murray River, passing paddle steamers, houseboats, and red gum-lined banks. You’ll glide under the impressive new Dhungala Bridge, cross state lines from Victoria to New South Wales, and finish in style at the floating pontoon on the banks of Morrisons Winery. It’s a unique open water experience, flat, fast, and full of local flavour. Whether you’re chasing a PB or just soaking up the serenity, this point-to-point river swim is the perfect blend of challenge and charm. And the best part? A warm country welcome and winery vibes await you at the finish.
