Pair’d Margaret River 2025 Shines Globally
The 2025 edition of Pair’d Margaret River Region x Range Rover has concluded on a spectacular note, reaffirming its position among the world’s most distinguished wine, food, music and cultural celebrations. Held across Western Australia’s acclaimed South West region from 20 to 23 November 2025, the festival delivered more than 30 exceptional experiences that drew visitors from across Australia and the international stage.
Building on the immense success of its 2024 debut, described by attending media as “Australia’s chicest wine and food festival”, this year’s event continued its upward trajectory with a program that blended creativity, terroir and sensory exploration. From underground opera performances set within ancient limestone caves to dramatic fire-led feasts crafted by Michelin-starred chefs beneath expansive starlit skies, Pair’d once again showcased the extraordinary spirit of the Margaret River Region.
Festival Director Hannah Pike said the second instalment has firmly established the festival on the global event calendar. “The 2025 program saw events sell out within minutes, which is a true reflection of the appetite for authentic, creative and deeply sensory experiences that celebrate the spirit of the Margaret River Region,” Ms Pike said.
“This year we saw guests connect not only with incredible wine and food, but also with the land, the people, even the ‘sounds’ that make this region so unique.”
She added that international recognition has further elevated the festival’s momentum. “Earlier this month, we were absolutely thrilled to be included in Condé Nast’s Best Places to Visit 2026 global list and can’t wait to share the details of what we have planned for the next edition of Pair’d in the coming months.”
As a Western Australian Government-owned event, Pair’d Margaret River Region is delivered by We Are Gather, Mellen Events and Ahoy Management. The festival is supported by major global partners, including Range Rover, Singapore Airlines and Mastercard, along with more than 50 local venues and operators who contribute to its scale and sophistication.
Western Australian Tourism Minister, the Hon. Reece Whitby MLA, said the festival has become a powerful platform that showcases the Southwest’s world-class appeal.
“Pair’d continues to boost Western Australia’s reputation as a global destination for premium culinary and cultural experiences,” Minister Whitby said. “The timing of this year’s event couldn’t have been better, with the Margaret River Region being the first Australian destination to host The World’s 50 Best Vineyards 2025 Awards in the days leading up to Pair’d, meaning international media and industry leaders were able to extend their stay to experience the festival, in addition to the thousands of wine and food lovers.”
He emphasised the significant economic and cultural value the festival brings to the region. “Beyond the economic and potential trade benefits for local producers and operators,
He continued by saying, “It reinforces what makes the region truly special—its natural beauty, rich culture and world-class tourism offering.”
This amazing festival demonstrates the Cook Government’s commitment to economic diversification, helping build a year-round events calendar that attracts visitors to the regions and grows the State’s visitor economy to boost local business and jobs.”
With a rapidly growing global profile, sold-out events and recognition by major international publications, Pair’d Margaret River Region x Range Rover continues to shape Western Australia’s position as a premier destination for extraordinary culinary, cultural and immersive travel experiences.
