We explore some must-see places to visit whilst you visit the Barossa.
Barossa Farmers Market
The Barossa Farmers Market is a genuine, local produce market which is permanently located undercover in the Vintners Shed, Angaston. They offer a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, meats, Barossa smallgoods and delicious locally made produce. Start your journey through the Barossa the way the locals do with fresh, healthy and be part of the fair exchange between consumer and producer.

Kellermeister
Kellermeister is a boutique family-owned winery and is rated in the top echelon of wine producers in Australia. It also holds the Barossa Trust Mark seal of quality. This beautifully located cellar door has some of the best views of the Barossa where it serves their award-winning wines, cider and fresh local produce platters.
Linfield Road Wines
The Linfield Road vineyard wines were the first planted vines back in 1860. There have been 5 generations of the Wilson family who have lived and worked on the vineyard. The cellar door offers sweeping views over the property and serves gourmet platters.
Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop
Visitors are encouraged to wander around Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop, sample food and wines at the tasting table or sit and relax overlooking the dam. This is a seasonal kitchen where products are made to follow the seasons, rather than distribute Australia wide.
