"Crowning a gentle hill in the heart ofAustralia’s Barossa Valley, the Louise is an intimate vineyard retreat an hour’s drive from Adelaide. The property offers guests a quiet country getaway with creature comforts, including spa tubs, dual rain showers, private courtyards, and a destination restaurant. There are only 15 suites here, each with a patio overlooking the vineyards. Somerooms even have outdoor showers and gas fireplaces,while the hotel features a stunning infinity pool. Local art is a focal point of the Louise, especially in the restaurant, Appellation. Paintings of quince and wine by Adelaide’s Catherine Fitz-Gerald, the Faultline Series bySydney-based Kate Briscoe, and metal sculptures by Erin Keys decorate the main room, while graphics by Aboriginal artist Shane Pickett feature in the private dining area. Before dinner, be sure to have a glass of wine on Appellation’s patio, where you can watch the red sun dip below the terraced hill."
