Barossa Vintage Festival 2011

The 2011 Barossa Vintage Festival is happening again this month, with festivities planned for Saturday April 23rd.

This fantastic event includes Food & wine from Seppeltsfield Road Business Alliance, Local Barossa Gourmet Food, dancing, children’s activist, Easter egg hunts, and plenty of arts and crafts.

The BVF was originally conceived by winery personalities Colin Gramp (Orlando Wines) and Bill Seppelt (Seppelt Wines) in 1938. World War II delayed plans, but in 1947 the first Vintage Festival was held. It was a single Thanksgiving Ball that celebrated the end of the grape harvest, and the end of conflict which had threatened to divide the German Australian community.

Over time the BVF has grown to meet the needs of locals and visitors alike. The ‘Festival Ball’ remains a signature event, and is now joined by a range of community driven events including art and craft, music, literature, heritage, and of course food and wine. The Barossa Vintage Festival has evolved to become the premier wine tourism festival in Australia, and is the jewel in the Barossa events calendar. The Barossa is proud to boast claim to the oldest and longest running wine festival in Australia.
