Picture perfect
For some of the region's most stunning photographic opportunities, drive through Seppeltsfield. Huge date palms line the road. See if you can resist the urge to take a photo! Eden Valley is also photogenic. It's often called the “Garden of Grapes and Gums”!
Looking for a "tree change", a chance to get away from it all and head back to nature? Try Williamstown, at the southern gateway to the Barossa, charming Rowland Flat or the "little Scotland" of Greenock.
Agricultural heritage
The Barossa is also home to the oldest country town in South Australia, Gawler, which is still a hub of activity in the region. You will always be welcomed in Angaston, where there’s the vibrant, weekly Barossa Farmers’ Market, great cafés, wine bars and cheesemakers.
Roseworthy is home to a 1600 hectare working farm and university. It's where many of Australia's best known winemakers learned their craft. Taste a local drop of a different kind in Springton, best known for its milk and the amazing Herbig Family Tree, which was once home to an entire family.
