The Louise is an idyllic luxury vineyard retreat, situated on a gentle hill surrounded by hundreds of acres of vines. With breathtaking vistas across the world-renowned Barossa Valley, this lodge is central to one of the world’s finest wine producing regions.

The Louise Destination

Barossa bounty

The Barossa is one of the world's great wine regions; revered alongside Bordeaux, Napa and Tuscany. Home to more than 100 wineries, the Barossa Valley is a vibrant community with a rich 160-year-old cultural and architectural heritage and the oldest continuous food culture in Australia.

The Louise Accommodation

Continental luxury

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.

The Louise Dining

Celebrating local

Dining at Appellation is integral to a stay at The Louise, where the culinary team works with the rhythms of the seasons, harvesting from the kitchen garden and sourcing the vast majority of produce locally. An extensive award-winning wine list showcases the best of the Barossa, South Australia and the world.

The Louise Experiences

CONNECT WITH PLACE

The Barossa is rightly famed for its wine, but there’s much more to the region 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.

The Louise Groups

Shared experiences

Set in the heart of Barossa Valley food and wine country, The Louise delivers an unforgettable experience, offering a backstage pass to the best the region has to offer. A welcoming, at-home feel extends from the generously inclusive tariff, making group events enjoyable and effortless for all.

The Louise People & Purpose

Our commitment

A commitment to environmental and community sustainability is central to operations at The Louise. The vast majority of the food and wine on the Appellation menu comes from within 30km of the kitchen door, including seasonal fruits and vegetables from the restaurant’s own kitchen garden.
