The Barossa Vintage Festival Hub, situated in Tanunda in the region's Visitor Information Centre, is the ideal location for day planning. This year's anniversary celebrations are expected to revolve around it. Under the Festival Director's creative leadership, the centre has a gorgeous pop-up bar with Seppeltsfield Road Distillery Gin, Tomfoolery and Rieslingfreak Wines and Lord Nelson Beer, showcasing the best of the Barossa's rich wine-making tradition. A carefully chosen selection of wines highlights the distinctive character of the area, while the Vintage Festival Special Edition Gin takes the stage, with skilled bartenders creating Vintage Queen cocktails.
One of the festival's highlights is the Vintage Festival Parade, which should not be missed. The parade is a great way to start the festival and includes marching bands, floats, and antique cars.
