Maggie Beer’s
Table for All

Arrive at The Louise in the early afternoon, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by General Manager Hannah McCormick and the lodge team. The afternoon is yours to settle into your suite, wander through the surrounding vines or simply unwind and ease into Barossa time.

Ease into the Maggie’s Table for All weekend with the relaxed Swirl Sessions — an intimate wine tasting led by one of the region’s celebrated winemakers. It’s the perfect opportunity to begin exploring the rich relationship between Barossa wine, food and the people who bring them to life.

As the afternoon light softens over the vineyards, gather for welcome drinks and canapés at The Louise, hosted by Maggie Beer. With a glass in hand and something delicious from the kitchen, enjoy an intimate introduction to Maggie’s world and the stories, traditions and inspirations that have shaped her lifelong love of cooking.

The evening continues at Appellation, where Maggie hosts a four-course tasting menu paired with exceptional Barossa wines. Expect generous, produce-driven dishes, thoughtful interpretations of pantry staples and plenty of conversation around flavor, comfort and the simple joy of sharing a meal.

Begin your day with breakfast at leisure in Appellation, with time to enjoy coffee, freshly baked pastries and fine local produce as the valley wakes.

After breakfast, guests are invited to explore The Louise’s private art collection through an intimate guided Artist Talk – tracing the stories and techniques behind works by more than 14 artists, paired with a glass of Mirus wine from the nearby vineyard.

An optional visit to the Barossa Farmers Market will see you meeting stallholders and sampling what’s in season.

After a short return to The Louise for time at leisure, the focus shifts to Maggie’s own Barossa Valley home base. A transfer takes you to the Maggie Beer Farm Shop, where you’ll be welcomed into the kitchen at The Eatery for a cooking demonstration that weaves together Maggie’s favorite flavors, tips and techniques. There’s plenty to taste, and lots of ideas to take back to your own kitchen.

Lunch follows at The Eatery, where guests gather around long tables to enjoy the fruits of their labor in a seasonal menu that celebrates the best of South Australian produce.

Next, enjoy a hosted wine tasting and dessert in The Farm Shop cellar door, followed by time at leisure to browse the shelves, walk the farm and soak up the atmosphere at your own pace.

Enjoy pre-dinner drinks and leisurely lawn games back at The Louise before heading to Contour for a relaxed evening of collaborative dining. Executive Chef Sam Cooper joins a Chef from the Maggie Beer Foundation to create a menu showcasing the delicious, nourishing food the Foundation teaches chefs to prepare for aged-care residents. Hear firsthand about the Foundation’s work and discover just how exceptional aged-care dining can be.

Breakfast is served at leisure in Appellation, leaving time for a slow start, a final wander through the vines or a quiet coffee overlooking the bucolic Barossa landscape.

Depart at your own pace, with the opportunity to extend your Barossa stay or continue your journey feeling inspired, well fed and having made a meaningful contribution to the Maggie Beer Foundation.
