Uncork the Wine Festival with a cracker!

Watch out for the downhill Wine Barrel Races and take in the antics of the Float Parade's spirited fiesta feel.
Slip into the Festival Supper Club each night to chew the fat with fellow aficionados as they toast the end of vintage with some groovy tunes and a stellar wine selection. Cheers!

A decadent night out showcasing Margaret River's appreciation of the finer things in life! This sublime soiree will feature a well known celebrity chef, serving up the region's acclaimed produce perfectly matched to its benchmark wines.
An enviable Charity Wine Auction supporting a local charity (TBC) will allow guests to leave with a stash of some of the region's awarded and collectable wine parcels (with online bids being investigated for those who can't make it on the night).
