Escape to The Louise in the heart of the Barossa Valley for an unforgettable long lunch hosted by the Lehmann Brothers. Executive Chef Sam Cooper will craft a seasonal share-style menu celebrating the region’s finest produce, paired with carefully selected wines from David Franz Lehmann and Phil Lehmann. Guests will experience David Franz’s bold, small-batch, vineyard-driven wines – full of Barossa character and storytelling in every pour – alongside Max & Me’s elegant, approachable wines, celebrated for their balance, freshness, and contemporary style.

Begin the afternoon with Gazander Oyster with Kohlrabi & “Peter Lehmann White Ice Cream”, paired with Max & Me Riesling 2025, or indulge in Duck Rillettes, Quail Egg & Truffle, beautifully complemented by David Franz 2023 Red Rose. For mains, enjoy Chicken with Pepper Berry, Lyonnaise Onion & Croissant, paired with Max & Me 2024 Pinot Noir, followed by Lamb with Eggplant, Capers, Olives & Fresh Cheese, paired with Max & Me 2015 Estate Shiraz and Georgie’s Walk 2018 Cabernet – wines that showcase both the bold craftsmanship of David Franz and the approachable elegance of Max & Me. End the lunch on a sweet note with Lemon Thyme, Davidson Plum, Dulce De Leche & Rice, matched with David Franz Fortified Semillon, for a perfect balance of richness and freshness. Set against sweeping vineyard views, this relaxed yet refined afternoon captures the true spirit of the Barossa: heritage, creativity, and warm hospitality, all shared around the table.
