Slow Down
In Wine Country

Bask under crisp, blue winter skies and gather fireside with a glass of Barossa red as you step away from the busyness of everyday life. This exclusive weekend brings together some of the region’s most inspiring creators and tastemakers – from vignerons and chefs to artists and yogis – offering an immersive, soulful journey into the heart of wine country.

Each day is anchored in serenity: begin with a gentle yoga flow led by Kirsty Mackirdy of Yoga Barossa, followed by a nourishing gourmet breakfast. Discover the power of presence through guided meditations, vineyard strolls, a contemporary art gallery tour, and creative art workshops, including mandala design with commissioned artist Janelle Amos and grapevine charcoal-making at Wonderground Gallery with owners and artists Renee de Saxe and Kirsty Kingsley. 

A bespoke wellness menu invites you to customise your experience – think in-suite massages, reiki sessions, pottery workshops, and nature walks through the valley’s hidden corners. Evenings unfold with elegant dining at Appellation, where seasonal menus are thoughtfully paired with iconic Barossa wines and the warm company of local artists and hosts.

With generous inclusions, from use of the lodge sauna, pool, and e-bikes to private gallery tours and the intimate ambiance of the speakeasy lounge, Slow Down in Wine Country is an indulgent and deeply grounding celebration of the senses.

Whether you seek creative inspiration, holistic nourishment, or simply time to reconnect with self and place, The Louise offers the perfect winter retreat in the timeless beauty of the Barossa Valley.
