One of Australia's oldest wine festivals, celebrating the Barossa Valley's status as one of the world's most historic Shiraz regions.
Running since 1947, the Barossa Vintage Festival is one of Australia's oldest wine festivals, held biennially in one of the country's most historically significant wine regions — home to some of the oldest continuously producing Shiraz vines anywhere in the world, some planted in the nineteenth century.
A maypole dance, grape-picking competitions and tastings across the valley's wineries reflect the festival's genuine roots in the region's German settler heritage as much as its wine industry, making it a distinctive blend of cultural and culinary celebration.
