The Barossa Valley is renowned as one of the world’s finest wine producing regions with a rich 160-year old culinary heritage. Home to more than 100 wineries (over 70 with cellar doors open to the public), the Barossa is a vibrant community with the oldest continuous food culture in Australia.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Ngadjuri, Peramangk and Kaurna people, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which The Louise stands. In sharing elements of their history, heritage and culture we acknowledge the Ngadjuri, Peramangk and Kaurna people of the Barossa Valley region and their connections to Country.
With consistently outstanding vintages over the past 160 years, six generations of grape growers and winemakers have established the Barossa as Australia’s leader in crafting wines of great distinction. While the reputation of Barossa wines has strong international appeal, the region’s food exhibits the same integrity, quality, diversity and heritage.
There's much more to the Barossa than great things to eat and drink; guests can meet the local growers at the Barossa Farmers Market, enjoy nearby art galleries, float over the landscape in a hot air balloon, enjoy a sunrise picnic breakfast with kangaroos, walk or cycle bush tracks, or partake in cooking lessons, perfume making or gin blending sessions.
Set among gently rolling vineyards and a patchwork of small farms in the heart of the Barossa, 15 suites boast lounging spaces with open fireplaces and gourmet-stocked bars, shaded courtyards and marble-clad ensuites, each with its own private terrace and views over the surrounding vineyards.
