The Pair’d Margaret River Region festival is set to return from 20 to 23 November 2025, promising an extraordinary blend of culinary, cultural, and sensory experiences. This year’s event will feature world-class chefs, including Singapore’s Michelin-starred talents Julien Royer, Rishi Naleendra, and Dave Pynt, alongside international culinary icon Francis Mallmann. The festival, which debuted successfully in 2024, will offer over 30 unique events, including the world-first sonic wine experience, “Tasting Notes: The Sound of a Region.”
The festival’s highlights include the Grand Tasting presented by Singapore Airlines, offering unlimited wine tastings and rare vintages, and the atmospheric Ngilgi Reverie, a cultural collaboration featuring performances in Ngilgi Cave. The event will also host the Pair’d Beach Club at Meelup Beach, with a surf-and-turf feast by Michelin-starred chef Nathan Outlaw.
Western Australia’s Acting Tourism Minister, Don Punch, expressed excitement about the festival’s return, noting its role in attracting visitors to the region. “Pair’d is a celebration of the incredible wine and food of the Margaret River Region,” he said.
Festival Director Hannah Pike emphasised the event’s unique offerings, stating, “Pair’d is not just a festival; it’s a region-wide sensory experience that celebrates what makes this part of the world so special.”
With direct flights now available to Busselton-Margaret River Airport, the festival is more accessible than ever. Tickets are on sale from 16 July, and attendees are encouraged to book early due to high demand.
