Barossa Valley Cheese Company

The Barossa Valley Cheese Company runs out of a narrow shopfront on Murray Street, and cheese is the whole show. Camembert, triple cream brie and goat cheese are made on site, and the menu stretches to tasting platters and a tea and cheese pairing if you want to settle in properly rather than grab and go.

Dog friendly guides list the cheesery as welcoming dogs in its outdoor takeaway and sit down areas, and reviews suggest the footpath tables are where patrons with a dog end up. This is a compact artisan cheese shop, so the expectation is that dogs stay outside on the footpath rather than in the tasting room. The easy pattern is to order the platter and take the footpath table while the shop does its thing inside.

Worth knowing

Doors open 10am to 4pm every day except Tuesday, when the shop closes. Because the tasting space is small, the footpath seating is limited too, so a mid morning weekday visit gives you the best chance of a table with the dog. If you are touring the valley with a dog in the car, this is a sensible short stop rather than a long lunch booking.

You will find it at 67B Murray St, Angaston, right on the town's main strip, with street parking along Murray Street and the side streets behind it.

Pair it with

Angaston makes an easy dog friendly base for a valley day. Melba's Chocolates Barossa Valley is a short walk up the street if the cheese board needs a dessert chaser, and Lambert Estate Wines pours with views a little out of town. For dinner, Wanera Wine Bar sits on the same strip, and Pembury Cottage is one of the pet friendly beds in town. More dog friendly stops are listed under South Australia and in the Angaston guide.
