Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop
Double scoop of Rich Vanilla (L) and Burnt Fig, Honeycomb, & Caramel (R)
Verdict: Walk
Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop could be worth a visit if you’re in the area and a fan of her cooking. The ice cream, specifically the Burnt Fig, Honeycomb, & Caramel flavour, is divine. Try a sip or two of her wines if you’re here, but it’s not a winery that immediately comes to mind when you mention the Barossa Valley.

Comments:
The DECADENCE. That’s all I have to say about the Burnt Fig, Honeycomb, & Caramel ice cream. The perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and bitter. Exactly what we needed on a hot day to wrap up a busy winery tour. This is a MUST eat and came highly recommended from our tour guide, Nate, from Trailhopper’s Hop On & Hop Off Wine tour (not sponsored).
What would you expect from the Maggie Beer afterall? You can probably tell I’m obsessed with Masterchef Australia - easily the best of the Masterchefs. Convince me I’m wrong.
Despite the refreshing and unique pear liqueur, we would skip the wine tasting next time and try more of Maggie’s food & treats.
We wish we had more time to check out their farm experience and cooking demonstrations, but alas, we’ll save it for our next visit.
If you’re limited on time like us, it was fun to check out their prized pheasants and roaming wild peacocks around their property. There’s also a pretty view of their little pond with some turtles swimming around at the back of the shop.
