Barossa Vintage Festival: 80 Years in the Making

The Barossa Vintage Festival returns from 21 to 25 April 2027, marking 80 years with more than 80 events across South Australia’s famous wine region. From long lunches and grape stomping to the much-loved Scarecrow Trail and Vintage Festival Parade, it’s the perfect excuse to park the van, slow down and explore the Barossa Valley like a local.


Barossa Vintage Festival 2027 celebrates 80 years of food, wine and South Australian hospitality.

Put the Barossa Vintage Festival on your 2027 itinerary

The Barossa is a great place to visit anytime but every two years, we throw a rather big party. From 21 to 25 April 2027, the Barossa Vintage Festival returns, with a program jam-packed with food, wine, art and heritage experiences – carefully curated to help you let your hair down, get to know the locals and relish in the Barossa’s world-famous hospitality.

Across five days, more than 80 events bring the region to life. Expect long lunches and unique wine experiences, live music and meet-the-maker events. Also back in 2027 are long-time festival favourites including the much-loved Scarecrow Trail, wine auction, grape stomping and iconic Vintage Festival Parade.

You may know the Barossa for great wine and generations of tradition, but the Barossa Vintage Festival gives you the chance to get a little closer to it all. It’s when we take time to celebrate the wines, stories, landscape and incredible people behind them. We throw open our farm gates and cellar doors, special wines come out of the cellar, and winemakers, growers, cooks, artists and makers invite you in.

So how do you do Vintage? Start with one or two events you don’t want to miss, then leave some room to explore. Follow the Scarecrow Trail through the region, take a back road to a town you haven’t visited before, stop at a cellar door, art gallery or farm gate, join a community celebration, or simply see what you discover along the way. There are ticketed experiences worth planning ahead for, alongside plenty of opportunities to join one of the many free events and activities.

And don’t feel you need to fit everything into one day. Vintage Festival stretches across the Barossa, so stay a few days, choose a different part of the region to explore each day and make the festival part of a bigger Barossa adventure.

Stay for a day or spend a week – consider this your personal invitation to get off the main road and live like a Barossan.

80 years of Vintage – come and join the party!
