Local Attractions

MURRAY STREET
Angaston's main street, Murray Street, is lined with large Moreton Bay Fig and Jacarandah trees, the latter providing a spectacular lilac show of blossom in summertime. Murray Street has an interesting array of hotels, arts & crafts, bookstores, bakeries, restaurants and food specialty shops ideal for the visitor to browse on foot.

SOLDIERS MEMORIAL GARDENS
On the corner of Murray Street and Penrice Road, providing shady picnic tables and expansive lawns cut by Angaston Creek, the park is very popular with family groups, and is marked by a large bronze horse statue on the corner and one of St. Michael on a tall pedestal.

ANGAS PARK FRUIT COMPANY
Established in 1911, this fruit processing company enjoys an enviable international reputation with a retail shop-front where you can buy an almost endless array of fruits, nuts, jams, pickles and sweets. Great for nibbling in between wineries.

ANGASTON HOTEL
The first recorded business in Angaston and the oldest hotel in the Barossa Valley, it was first licensed in 1846.

BAROSSA BRAUHAUS HOTEL
Angaston's second hotel was opened in 1849 as the New Inn by William Doddridge who also operated an adjoining blacksmith's shop. Enjoy the modern renovated dining and pokies area.

DODDRIDGE'S BLACKSMITH SHOP
Continuous operation from the mid-1800's until the 1970's is a remarkable history, and can still be seen as a working Smithy every Sunday. It is operated by dedicated townsfolk who bought the equipment in 1981 in order to preserve an original link with Angaston's very early days.

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COMPANY STORE
Originally Gawler Park Fruits, the Mariani family have transformed the old fruit processing site into a wonderful cafe with a specialty food outlet attached. The adjacent lawns, gardens and vineyards make for superb alfresco dining.

YALUMBA WINERY
Founded by Samuel Smith, a Dorset brewer who did well from the Victorian goldrush. The first vines were planted in 1852, and Yalumba is today the oldest family owned Australian winery. Well worth visiting for its beautiful buildings, gardens and tastings.

SALTRAM WINERY
First planted in 1859 with shiraz vines, William Salter's Saltram Winery began life as a sheep property. His 1844 homestead, Mamre Brook, stands today adjacent to Salters Restaurant, recently extended in a significant redevelopment.
