| Set atop a gentle hill with sweeping vistas across the internationally renowned Barossa Valley, The Louise is an idyllic luxury vineyard retreat … complete with acclaimed on-site restaurant “Appellation.” |
EXPERIENCELike the other great wine regions of the world, the food and wine experience in the Barossa is arguably the greatest drawcard and very often the highlight of a visit to this magnificent region. While there are plenty of diversions to inspire and sustain visitors as they discover the other delights and attractions of South Australia, the primary reason to make the Barossa a “must see” destination is the unsurpassed breadth and depth of the culinary and viticulture experience here.
Completely upgraded and extensively rebuilt in 2006, the property has just 15 suites offering absolute luxury and inspired design, with sunrise or sunset vistas over the surrounding vineyards, private terraces, soft contemporary furnishings, spacious ensuites with dual rain showers and spa tubs, individual espresso-makers and king beds with crisp linens. Additional features of some suites include private gated courtyards, outdoor showers, fireplaces, BOSE Wave CD, and a second LCD TV in the ensuite.
Casual and elegant are the hallmarks of award winning on-site restaurant Appellation where Executive Chef Mark McNamara guides one of Australia’s finest regional dining venues. Understated, informed service and intimate ambience complement a daily changing menu focusing on locally sourced seasonal produce. Appellation’s extensive wine list presents the best of the Barossa, Australia and iconic wines of the world.
With professional, attentive and caring staff keen to share their excellent local knowledge, The Louise is your entrée to the authentic Barossa wine region experience. Home to more than one hundred wineries and over sixty premium and boutique cellar doors, the Barossa region showcases world class wine tasting and memorable wine experiences.
