Looking Ahead: Pair’d Margaret River Region 🍷

While we are currently enjoying the harvest, we already have our eyes on November for the return of Pair’d Margaret River Region (Nov 19–22, 2026). This "wine-first" festival is a dreamlike celebration that pairs our world-class vintages with Michelin-starred chefs and live music. From the chic Pair'd Beach Club at Meelup to "Nature’s Table" long lunches under the towering Karri trees, it’s an unforgettable way to see the region.

If you're planning a trip for late 2026, this is the weekend to be here—just be sure to book your tour with us early, as it’s the busiest weekend on the calendar!
