The Louise, inside the vineyards
of the Barossa Valley

Hentley Farm, culinary lab

In the heart of Australia's Barossa Valley, Hentley Farm is Chief Lachlan Colwill's favourite place for reflection and experimentation. In the morning, as a true partner of nature, he selects, picks and fishes what you will taste in the evening.
