About Appellation
Appellation is the restaurant inside The Louise, a luxury lodge on the corner of Seppeltsfield and Stonewell Roads in Marananga. It sits north-east of Adelaide, in the heart of the Barossa's vineyard country. The dining room is filled with natural light from large windows that look across vines and rolling hills. Small dining nooks and window tables give it an intimate feel, and a lantern-lit wine cellar glows at its centre. For private events, the whole restaurant can be booked for exclusive dining with up to 40 guests. Smaller parties can use the Private Dining Room, which seats 12, while the Speakeasy is a fireside lounge for a private dinner of six or drinks for 12. The kitchen follows the seasons, picking from its own garden and buying from Barossa farmers and growers. Dinner takes the form of a seasonal tasting menu at $175 per person, and the chefs work to dietary needs when they are given notice in advance. Wine pairings showcase the Barossa alongside other South Australian and Australian producers, and can be added for $85 per person. Guests can also choose a bottle from the cellar, charged on consumption. The lodge's events team plans birthdays, anniversaries, intimate weddings, corporate dinners and team gatherings, tailoring the menu and setting to each group. Parties of six or more dining without a stay arrange their booking directly with the lodge.
