Everything you need to know about Pair’d Festival

From 19–22 November 2026, Pair’d will once again transform the Margaret River Region into a festival of incredible wine, food and music.

Published

Four days. One extraordinary wine region. Pair’d Margaret River Region returns this November, bringing together world-class wine, food, music and culture in some of the region’s most spectacular settings.

From sprawling garden parties and beachside sessions to intimate dinners and rare cellar experiences, the Pair’d brings together Margaret River wines with celebrated chefs, sommeliers, musicians and makers.

Pair’d Beach Club

Pair’d Beach Club returns to Meelup Beach, bringing wine, food and music right to the edge of the Indian Ocean. Settle in for beachside dining and drinks by day, before the tempo shifts as the sun goes down.

Cape Mentelle Movie Night

Cape Mentelle’s much-loved outdoor cinema gets the Pair’d treatment, combining wine, food and film beneath the stars.

New Wave Gathering

Chow’s Table turns up the volume with new-wave wine, food and music. Discover emerging and alternative producers, with Mal Chow on the food and Boo Seeka bringing the soundtrack.

Normal Van, Rare Wines

Serious wine without the serious setting. Normal Van brings rare and museum wines together with Rob Webster’s laid-back neighbourhood cooking for one night only.

The Grand Tasting

The signature Pair’d garden party returns to the lawns of Howard Park Wines. Taste your way through an impressive line-up of Margaret River wineries alongside dishes from Matt Moran and Aaron Carr, masterclasses and live music.

Around the Table with Ray Jordan

Join respected wine writer Ray Jordan at Miss Chow’s Margaret River for an intimate evening of wine, food and conversation. Over dinner, Ray shares a handpicked selection of Margaret River wines from his forthcoming WA Wine Review, along with the stories, producers and vintages behind them.

Under the Stars

Xanadu Wines looks skyward for a multi-sensory evening connecting wine, food, culture and the night sky, including live telescope views projected to screens.

Live at Mr Barval

Close out Pair’d with a laid-back evening beside Calgardup Brook at Mr Barval. Curated by local musician Dan White, the line-up moves from acoustic sets and live bands to a DJ finale, with Mr Barval wines and Italian-inspired eats from CIBO along for the ride.

Make a weekend of it

Pair’d unfolds across the Margaret River Region, so leave some room between events to explore wineries, beaches, restaurants and forest trails along the way. With events stretching across the region, staying a few nights makes it easier to settle into festival mode without rushing from one experience to the next.

Choose from vineyard stays, boutique hotels, coastal retreats and self-contained accommodation, and make a weekend of discovering what’s happening beyond the Pair’d program too.
