Time is running out to the visit the popular Barossa Arts Festival, which has two weeks left to go and has transformed the Barossa Valley into a hub of creativity and artistic delights.

Continuing until 30 April, the festival is a delicious blend of food, wine and art, and is an ideal way to discover amazing local artists or try your hand at creating something of your own.

Whether you're an art enthusiast or a curious newcomer, the Barossa Arts Festival – which is supported by major sponsorship from The Barossa Council – promises discovery and delight, showcasing regional artists and performers.

“The Barossa’s rich arts, heritage and culture is a major drawcard for visitors,'' Barossa Mayor Bim Lange said.

"We’re confident the Barossa Arts Festival will be another jewel in our major events crown.”

The Best of the Fest exhibition

There’s plenty still to see at the Festival, starting at the Best of the Fest exhibition at Chateau Yaldara winery in Lyndoch.

Open every day between 10am-4pm, the showcase features extraordinary pieces from more than 70 artists and you can choose your own artist adventure while enjoying a complimentary glass of wine.

Works from artists are selected from 12 neighbouring towns, and all pieces are available for purchase.
