Angaston is the quintessential Barossa town with its elegant architecture, established trees and relaxed country vibe. The locals have restored and re-opened attractions like Doddridge Blacksmith Shop and the Old Union Church.

The town retains more than just a flavour of the past. It’s also a hub of artisan produce, with some of the Barossa’s finest foods available to try. If you’re here on Saturday, don’t miss the Barossa Farmer’s Market in the Vintners Sheds, rightly regarded as one of Australia’s best.
