Blazing Brews

Saturday, 18th July

Some Cabin Fever events have become winter institutions, and Blazing Brews at Beerfarm is firmly one of them.

With quality brews flowing, hearty food on the menu and a soundtrack designed to keep the energy high long after sunset, it’s everything we love about winter in the Margaret River Region wrapped into one unforgettable night.

Paired with Si Vintners wines and wrapped up with marshmallows by the fire, it’s the kind of long lunch that somehow turns into an entire afternoon. And honestly, that’s exactly how winter should be.
