This story started with a knock at the kitchen door.

Cucumbers and green apples arrived at Appellation at The Louise at their absolute peak, and the dish was built from there. Kingfish caught in South Australia's Spencer Gulf was cured in kombu, laid under compressed and fresh cucumber as well as a nori puree, and finished with a granita of cucumber, yuzu and green apple.

Cool, clean, and about as close to the season as a plate can sit.

Every Wednesday and Friday evening, guests at The Louise are invited to Swirl Sessions, an intimate hosted tasting led by the growers and w**emakers who know the Barossa's w**es from the ground up.

Guests gather in the lounge for a personally guided tasting led by the w**emakers and ambassadors behind a dedicated label each session. Each session moves through the stories, vineyards and philosophies that shape what’s in the glass.

From the Barossa’s generational custodians to its contemporary producers, Swirl Sessions draws from the full spectrum of the region. Iconic estates known for richly flavoured Shiraz and classic blends sit alongside innovative makers crafting site-driven Rieslings and small-batch releases. No two Swirl Sessions follow the same thread.

Make the most of the last crisp mornings and fireside sunsets as spring arrives in the Barossa. A glass of shiraz welcomes you back after a day exploring the valley. A hot water bottle waiting before bed. There’s still time to get cosy.

A traditional Barossan farmhouse set along the western ridge, cleverly transformed into five rooms of contemporary art with the owners' Mirus W**es cellar door attached. Wonderground Gallery and Mirus Vineyards is a short drive from The Louise and makes for an easy afternoon combining local art and w**e.

This is how a joyful w**e weekend unfolds in the Barossa Valley. To celebrate 175 years of Seppeltsfield, Chief W**emaker Fiona Donald joined us at The Louise for an intimate Appellation dinner, a behind-the-scenes tour through the historic Seppeltsfield precinct, a long lunch at FINO, the iconic 100-year-old tawny tasting, and a generous pour of Seppeltsfield w**es throughout.

A two-night Barossa escape where conversations, new friendships and favourite vintages flowed. A winter weekend well spent.

Our thanks to the great team at Seppeltsfield.
