There are few things more telling of a Barossa Vintage on the horizon than scarecrows appearing throughout the region.
A festival favourite since 1995, see these straw-filled personalities springing up as families in fields, appearing as winemakers in cellar doors, and surprising you in all shapes and sizes in shops and front yards throughout the region.
Whether you want to build your own, or find them along the trail, join us to celebrate the creativity, ingenuity, and artistry of the community, with straw-stuffed into weird, wacky and wonderful characters for you to discover.
Download your scarecrow trail map at barossavintagefestival.com.au to make the most of this free, self-guided tour. You can also pick up a printed map at the Barossa Visitors Centre, The Co-op Members Desk in the mall, Homburg Real Estate & The Leader newspaper’s office.
