The Louise has launched a new Winemaker Event Series with Barossa’s best and it kicks off April 28 – May 01 2023 offering guests staying at the luxury lodge the chance to be winemaker for a day.

April 28 – May 01, 2023 | Tscharke Experience Vintage package includes:

  • Gourmet breakfast, pre-dinner drinks, canapés and dinner in Appellation daily
  • Daily replenished in-suite bar
  • Exclusive tasting of current and past vintages
  • Three-hour hands-on vintage experience

Running during vintage, guests will venture behind-the-scenes and be part of the winemaking action at this buzzing time in the Barossa. Guests join the Tscharke winemakers for hands-on, three-hour experience of vintage, which includes an exclusive tasting of the current vintage wines plus two specially selected back vintages sampled in the best-kept-secret ‘Underground Cellar’. 

The experience starts with a welcome drink in the winery’s Protagonist bar, before embarking on a tour of the winery where guests will witness the journey of the fruit as progresses through the winemaking process. Guests can join in activities including tasting ferments, testing Baumé and monitoring ferment temperatures.

The Tscharke Experience Vintage weekend coincides with the 75-year anniversary of the Barossa Vintage Festival with some 75 special events dotted around the Barossa running throughout.

Rates on the Tscharke Experience Vintage package start at $3,450* with the usual generous inclusions. Minimum stay 2 nights. T&C’s apply. The package may be taken over any two nights over a long weekend and there’s an option of adding an extra night or two on either side – with bonus savings – and the chance to make the most of the weekend away.
