Handpicked

One of South Australia’s most beloved boutique music festivals, Handpicked Festival will return to Lake Breeze Wines on Saturday, the 8th of November, bringing with it a massive all-Australian lineup headlined by hip hop heavyweights Hilltop Hoods, folk-blues icon Xavier Rudd, and powerhouse vocalist Meg Mac.

This year Handpicked boasts the biggest lineup in the event’s 11-year history, with the Hoods, Xavier and Meg being joined by The Rubens, Hot Dub Time Machine, Mia Wray, Marlon, and emerging indie-pop sensation Lotte Gallagher — with even more artists still to be revealed.

“Handpicked fans can expect nothing less than magic this year,” said festival organiser Kate Cooper. “We’re beyond excited to welcome this lineup to our backyard – and this is only the beginning.”

Held at the stunning Lake Breeze Wines estate, the Handpicked Festival combines music, wine, and scenery into a one-of-a-kind experience. Guests can sip award-winning local wines, relax with gourmet food truck eats, wander through the enchanted cocktail forest, and settle in under the stars for an intimate yet world-class festival atmosphere.

“Handpicked is where boutique meets festival,” said Kate. “It’s live music, incredible wines, curated food, and stunning scenery – without the chaos.”

This year also marks the launch of Wine Down Weekend, an initiative encouraging guests to make the most of the Langhorne Creek region with local accommodation, winery visits, and restaurant experiences across the entire weekend.

“Handpicked has always been about more than just music. We want people to stay, explore, and soak up everything Langhorne Creek has to offer,” said Kate.
