About Maggie Beer's Farm Shop
Maggie Beer's Farm Shop is where the Beer family's food story began, on the Pheasant Farm outside Nuriootpa. The shop overlooks a dam and olive grove, and alongside its produce and cafe it runs a programme of cooking and tasting experiences with the team from The Farm Eatery next door. Visitors often pair a class with a walk around the dam, where native turtles and birdlife are easy to spot. The seasonal cooking school is the most hands-on choice. Up to 10 guests watch a demonstration with a glass in hand, then put on aprons to cook one course from Maggie's recipe books, and everyone sits down together at a long table to eat what they have made. The class runs for about two and a half hours before lunch, and recipe cards go home with each guest. For a lighter visit, the farm shop experience brings at least four guests into the studio kitchen from The Cook and the Chef for a demonstration, then a guided wine and gin tasting and a grazing lunch by the dam. Groups of more than six can book privately, and themed classes cover desserts, cocktails and snacks, and plant-based cooking.
