MEET THE MAKERS
the family behind the festival
We’re an Aussie Family
The home of Handpicked, Lake Breeze Wines, is also our home! We’re a family of winemakers, sisters first and festival organisers second!
We’re the Follett Family, owners of Lake Breeze Wines and have been growing grapes in Langhorne Creek for over 130 years (and organising festivals for 7!)
A Festival Made with Heart…& a whole lot of hands!
We’re not a big corporation or faceless brand — just a passionate family and a small, dedicated crew who pour love into every little detail of Handpicked Festival.
POV: When your family supports your dream to have a festival in your backyard…
This is what that looks like each year. It’s all hands on deck, young and old, Aunties, Uncles, Brothers, Cousins, kids and more! Watch us set up last year.
