The Louise
About
Overview & Vibe
The Louise looks over the vines from Seppeltsfield Road at Marananga — a luxury lodge of fifteen villa-style suites whose restaurant, Appellation, is one of Australia's most decorated regional dining rooms, taking intimate weddings by sole-use booking.
Setting & Style
This is the small-wedding end of the Barossa: Appellation's vineyard windows seat forty for a seasonal tasting menu paired from the Barossa cellar; Contour handles 60–80, the Hermitage Room 24–60 from boardroom to cocktail, and the Speakeasy or Private Dining Room take six to twelve for the closest of guest lists. Sole-use bookings turn the property into a fully catered home-away-from-home for the weekend, with high-ceilinged suites, in-suite bars and an infinity pool over the vine rows.
Ideal For
Couples planning an intimate luxury-lodge wedding — a hatted tasting menu for forty and the whole lodge to themselves.
