Australia’s most beloved culinary figure, Maggie Beer, hosts a special weekend of gathering, cooking and feasting in her hometown of the Barossa Valley on May 22–24, 2026. Guests will enjoy elegant dining, farmers market gathering, vibrant regional flavors and warm hospitality as The Louise and the Maggie Beer Foundation – Maggie’s not-for-profit organisation supporting improved food and nutrition for the elderly through education – come together for a celebration of food, wine and community.

Over two nights and three days, you’ll share generous tables, market mornings and hands‑on food experiences with one of Australia’s most beloved cooks in the region she calls home. Maggie’s Table for All places Maggie’s heartfelt, flavor‑first approach at the center of the experience – from a welcome dinner at Appellation to a day at the Maggie Beer Farm Shop and Eatery, featuring a cooking demonstration, lunch and time to wander the farm and explore its selection of sauces, stocks and pantry favorites. It’s a chance to spend unhurried time in Maggie’s world, hearing stories from the Pheasant Farm days to today while tasting the dishes and ingredients for which she’s known.

Your stay at The Louise during the Table for All weekend also directly supports the Maggie Beer Foundation, which works to improve food experiences and nutrition for older people, especially those living in aged care homes through education. Through chef‑led training, mentoring and education programs for cooks and care teams, the Foundation helps kitchens around the country serve food that is not only nourishing but also delicious, dignified and full of flavor. A portion of every stay contributes to The Louise’s donation to the Foundation, meaning each shared plate across the weekend has a ripple effect far beyond the Barossa.

  • Accommodation in a luxury suite (king or twin configuration).
  • Breakfast in Appellation daily.
