MAGGIE’S FARM SHOP
Wondering what to gift the foodie in your life? Let’s begin with salted brandy caramel, a bottle of sweet, summery rosé, or a delectable burnt fig jam. Australia’s first lady of food, Maggie Beer, serves up all that and more at her property in the Barossa Valley, set on a beautiful jade lake framed by orchards and olive groves. “The idea behind the Farm Shop was to invite our customers to see and try just about everything we make,” explains Maggie. Browse her full range, watch a verjuice cooking demonstration, then top off your Christmas shopping with a relaxed meal on-site at newly opened The Eatery.
GREAT GIFT: Sangiovese verjuice (above right), $10.
OPEN: Daily, 10.30am-5pm.
VISIT: 50 Pheasant Farm Road, Nuriootpa, South Australia, (08) 8563 0204.
BOOKMARK: maggiebeer.com.au.
