Nuriootpa & Angaston Wine Town Walk
Explore Nuriootpa and Angaston — the Barossa's northern wine towns — where Penfolds, Yalumba, and a cluster of boutique wineries anchor two very different communities: one working-class German, one English colonial aristocracy.
- 1
Yalumba Winery Angaston
Yalumba, established in 1849 by Samuel Smith, is the oldest family-owned winery in Australia — the bluestone tower, the cooperage, and the Signature Cabernet-Shiraz blend have made this one of the country's most respected wine names.
- 2
Angaston Town Centre
Angaston was founded by George Fife Angas, the English entrepreneur who brought the German Lutheran settlers to the Barossa — the town's English colonial buildings contrast with the German character of Tanunda, reflecting the two founding cultures of the region.
- 3
Penfolds Nuriootpa Winery
Penfolds Nuriootpa is the headquarters of Australia's most famous wine brand — the 1844 winery processes Grange fruit from across the country during vintage, and the cellar experience includes blending the components that will become future Grange vintages.

Nuriootpa Wine Town Walk
Nuriootpa ('meeting place' in Kaurna) is the Barossa's commercial centre — the main street's mix of wine bars, bakeries, and working-town shops serves the viticulture workers who tend the vines between harvest seasons.
- 5
Saltram Wine Estate
Saltram Estate at Angaston has produced wine since 1859 — the colonial homestead, gardens, and the heritage cellar make this one of the Barossa's most atmospheric tasting experiences, and the 1859 Metala Shiraz-Cabernet is a Barossa classic.

Barossa Ranges Lookout
The western edge of the Barossa Valley below the ranges gives the defining view — the patchwork of vineyards, farmland, and Lutheran church spires in the valley below, with the Mount Lofty Ranges rising behind, shows the entire landscape that makes the Barossa.
