Meet Kylie Mansfield

Following a career in tourism and hospitality spanning 25 years and from everywhere from Lord Howe Island to the Northern Territory, Kylie has come full circle, returning home to the Barossa Valley. Honing her skills and experience with some of the country’s most recognised tourism organisations including Voyages Indigenous Tourism, the Constellation Group, Tourism Central Australia, Epicure and Fino along the way, Kylie swears she heard a ‘click’ as the final piece of the puzzle slipped neatly into place as she was appointed General Manager at The Louise.

Growing up on a small sheep farm near Angaston in the Barossa Valley shaped Kylie’s deep affinity for the regional community and for fine, local food and wine. Even after all those years spent away, Kylie is Barossan to the core and treasures the fact that he experience of The Louise guests, the produce on menu and the wine in the cellar are each crafted by a close-knit network of neighbours, friends and family. Kylie is proud to inspire her team to ensure that every moment spent at The Louise should nourish the senses and enliven the spirit with a genuine connection to the culture of the Barossa.
