You’ll also enjoy street food, drinks from Black Cat Gin, Rehn Bier and La Bise Wines, and decadent treats from Barossa Valley Chocolate Company.
There’s plenty of family-friendly entertainment and treats at the Tanunda Rotunda with busking, face painting, craft activities and hoola hoop demonstrations from Yoga-play. Or relax at the Valley Hotel with a beverage and some laid back local tunes and let the afternoon roll by.

The town will open its arms, doors, and streets, inviting visitors to stroll Greenock’s town centre, indulging and celebrating local art, food, wine and entertainment in true Barossa style. Opening night midsummer street party kicks off The Barossa Fringe on Friday, February 14 at 5:30pm.
Peter Berner: Compassion Pie | Saturday, 15 Feb
Funny man, Peter Berner, will be on stage at Seppeltsfield Wines, asking the question, “How much do you care?”
Peter’s long list of career achievements range from banana picker, barman, uni student (briefly), unemployed (occasionally), petrol station attendant (part time)… and the list goes on. However, with this long list of career achievements means he’s worked hard to slice up his compassion pie.
“Comedy and wine goers will be treated to an intimate show with Peter Berner on stage in our vintage cellar,” said Nicole Hodgson, Tourism and Events Manager at Seppeltsfield Wines.
Best of all, tickets to learn of his wisdom are only $25 and they’re selling fast, so make sure you get yours here so you don’t miss out! Doors open at 7pm, with Seppeltsfield Wine and local food available. Show starts at 8.30pm.
And there you have it — some of the exciting things to do at this year’s Barossa Fringe! Check out the full program here.
