Angaston
POP 1870
Photo-worthy Angaston was named after George Fife Angas, a pioneering Barossa pas-
toralist. An agricultural vibe persists, as there are relatively few wineries on the town
doorstep: cows graze in paddocks down the ends of streets, and there's a vague whiff of
fertiliser in the air. Along the main drag are two pubs, some terrific eateries and a few
B&Bs in old stone cottages (check for double glazing and ghosts − we had a sleepless
night!).

The Barossa Valley Cheese Company is a fabulously stinky room, selling handmade
cheeses from local cows and goats. Tastings are free, but it's unlikely you'll leave
without buying a wedge of the Washington Washed Rind.
