Barossa Vintage Festival 2015 Wrap Up

Grape stomping, street parade, scarecrows, chocolate and wine?indulgence were just some of the variety of activities Liebichwein were involved with over?the five days of the Barossa Vintage Festival?held in April 2015.

Cellar Door was run off its feet with people booking in for the Fortified and Chocolate Experience. Visitors enjoyed a journey of flavour?through four varieties of premium fortified wines ranging from two to twenty years old. Wines were matched to four homemade chocolate truffles. A rare treat!

Young and old climbed into the bins and eagerly stomped the grapes.?Liebichwein have proudly sponsored this event for 10 years.?Ron is now converting the well-stomped Grenache juice into a smooth young Tawny.

Barossa Vintage Festival 2015

This is our favourite event on the wine tourism calendar.?We love the way it showcases the Barossa as a whole be it food, wine, art, heritage or community spirit.

In the Barossa there are big plans and preparations for the upcoming festival held in the April school holidays.

The programme is getting back to its grass roots events, popular?in the early years.?We are happy to see this swing back to the good?times of the past. The vineyards will be dotted with scarecrows, all the wineries will be presenting special feature events including ourselves with chocolate and?fortifieds.

Liebichwein will again be sponsoring the grapetreading? and presenting our wines at Barossa Comes Home, a special event?held after the Festival Parade at Tanunda Oval on Saturday April 18th 2015.
