Reusable Wine Glasses

In 2018 we brought in a reusable plastic wine glass system where your cups can be returned, washed and reused, helping to reduce the amount of single use plastic we use on the day. You guys got behind us and the system worked a treat!

DIY Hydration Station & BYO Reusable Drink Bottles

Bring along your favourite reusable drinking vessel to refill from our homemade hydration stations dotted around the festival site supplying fresh, rainwater collected right here on our farm! *Note - your reusable bottles must be empty upon entry to the festival.

Solar Lights

Handpicked is truly set amongst the big ol’ gum trees and a heap of vineyards…so we’re kind of remote. Which is great for two reasons, it makes for the most relaxing of settings and it means solar power has gotta be our friend! We therefore use solar to light all of our lighting in The Food Garden and Tent City.

Bin System

In 2018 we partnered with the gurus at Australian Green Clean who are quickly making their way to be Australia’s leading sustainable cleaning and waste management company. On the day look out for their trendy bins and make a conscious effort to put your waste in the right bin

Wine Bottle Recycling Stations

We’re all for enjoying a wine on the lawn… just not on leaving the empty bottles strewn across the grounds!

Keep a look out for our big potato bin ‘Wine Bottle Recycling Stations’ on the day and help us keep on top of the amount of empty wine bottles on the ground.

Homemade Decor

We take great pride in reusing items we find on the farm, everything from timber, doors, iron, hay bales…you name it, we’ve reused it! Nanny’s made over 400m of bunting, Uncle Tim has built countless metres of recycled timber bars, Mum has crafted a handmade sign and Uncle Greg builds our impressive wine barrel bar wall each year.

Smart Camping

C’mon campers…smarten up. Please help us keep the grounds pristine by only bringing what you need and leave no trace. Tents, Blankets, Chairs etc are not a one use item - alternatively, leave your unwanted goods at our donation stations where we’ll proudly pass them on to our local charity store on your behalf.

Scouts SA Recycling Centre

From day dot we have loved being a part of Scouts SA Recycling Centre, a program that helps keep our event green and clean while supporting Scouts and the great work they do in our community. So see if you can spot one of our future little leaders pottering around our festival grounds…they’ll be sure to let you know a thing or two about being green and clean!
