Golden Hour. Grand Tradition. The Return of Barossa Polo.

Sharon Templeton 24 February 2026

This March long weekend, polo returns to the vines.

The Barossa Polo Classic rides back into the Barossa Valley on Sunday 8 March 2026, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Château Tanunda's private polo field.

Proudly presented by the team behind the Adelaide Polo Classic, this regional celebration brings together elite sport, premium hospitality and relaxed country elegance — all framed by golden vineyards and long summer light.

Temple Day Spa is delighted to be a 2026 Fashion on the Field Partner for this iconic South Australian event.

A Celebration of Sport, Style & Setting

The Barossa Polo Classic is more than a sporting fixture — it is an experience designed to be savoured.

Guests will enjoy: two fast-paced short-form polo matches; the timeless tradition of divot stomping; Fashion on the Field competition; children's activities and relaxed general admission; a live music afterparty as the sun sets over the vines.

Whether you are indulging in a luxury marquee, enjoying premium hospitality, or laying out a picnic rug with family and friends, the event offers something for everyone. It is long-weekend plans, elevated.

Temple Day Spa x Fashion on the Field

As a Fashion on the Field Partner, Temple Day Spa will be celebrating style, confidence and presence — qualities we see every day within our spa walls. For us, beauty is not about excess. It is about preparation. Ritual. Refinement.

Events like the Barossa Polo Classic are a reminder that how you feel carries into how you show up. A polished glow. Considered detail. Quiet confidence. We are proud to align with an event that celebrates elegance in motion — both on the field and off it.

Set among rolling vineyards at Château Tanunda, the Barossa Polo Classic is one of the most picturesque events on the South Australian calendar.

Return coach transfers are available from The Lion Hotel in North Adelaide, making the journey seamless. And for those travelling from Adelaide, the long weekend offers the perfect excuse to stay and experience the Barossa's world-class food, wine and hospitality.

Locally owned and proudly South Australian, the Adelaide Polo Classic team continues to bring premium events back to regional communities — showcasing the very best of our state.

I look forward to seeing the vines come alive once again.

Love, Sharon
