Yalumba Winery
Located 1.6 km south of Angaston on the Eden Valley Road which starts in town as North Street. The history of Yalumba Winery can be traced back to 1847 when Samuel Smith, the Yalumba founder, arrived in Adelaide. He had been a brewer in Dorset. In 1849 he planted his first vines near Angaston. His project was delayed by the goldrushes - he went to Victoria and made a small fortune (£300) on the goldfields at Bendigo - but he returned to Angaston, purchased more land, and laid the foundation of the hugely successful Yalumba Winery. It specialises in premium red and white table wines and sparkling wines derived from cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, semillon, sauvignon blanc, viognier, merlot, riesling and chardonnay grapes.
