The Louise (www.thelouise.com.au), the Barossa's premier vineyard retreat in South Australia (www.southaustralia.com), is offering guests a range of exclusive private wine and wine tasting experiences.
"Signature Barossa Experiences" sees nine of the region's top boutique winemakers opening their doors exclusively to overnight guests at The Louise, providing an unparalleled opportunity to meet the families and artisan individuals responsible for making some of Australia's most prestigious wines whose distribution is limited to small volumes.
Each tasting provides a different insight - organic and biodynamic wines, alternate varietals, barrel tasting, specific and inspired food pairing, rustic heritage and old vine.
Among the nine winemakers are John and Jan Angas of Hutton Vale, a historic property set in 2,000 acres of picturesque rolling countryside. Hutton Vale also produces wool from merino sheep, white Suffolk cross lambs for meat, cereal cropping and the Farm Follies range of chutneys and pickles. The Angas family, who has been farming the land since 1842, places great emphasis on quality and long-term environmental sustainability.
Guests can choose from two experiences; the two-hour "Personal Tasting and Tour of Hutton Vale" which includes a walk through the walled gardens, wine tasting, homemade chutney tasting as well as other seasonal specialities, or "At the Table with John and Jan", a hosted lunch with wines included.
Other boutique wineries opening their doors include Kalleske, Massena, Milhinch, Radford, Small Fry, Spinifex, Tscharke and Whistler Wines. Options include complimentary private wine tastings with the winemaker with a further range of tasting options including tapas, light or long lunches priced from A$65 to A$250 per person.
