The 2025 Pair’d Margaret River Region x Range Rover Festival concludes another remarkable edition, reinforcing its status as one of the world’s most exciting culinary and cultural events. Following the success of its 2024 debut, lauded by attending media as “Australia’s chicest wine and food festival,” the 2025 festival took place across Western Australia’s South West from November 20–23, offering over 30 unique experiences that captivated guests from across Australia and around the world.
From underground opera performances in ancient caves to fire-led feasts under star-studded skies by Michelin-starred chefs, Pair’d 2025 celebrated the pairing of flavour, place, and creativity in true Margaret River style.
Festival Director Hannah Pike said:
“The 2025 program saw events sell out within minutes, reflecting the strong appetite for authentic, creative, and sensory experiences that celebrate the spirit of the Margaret River Region. Guests connected not only with incredible wine and food but also with the land, the people, and the unique ‘sounds’ that make this region so special.”
Ms. Pike also highlighted the festival’s inclusion in Condé Nast’s Best Places to Visit 2026 global list, with plans for the next edition already underway.
As a Western Australian Government-owned event, Pair’d Margaret River Region was delivered by We Are Gather, Mellen Events, and Ahoy Management, with support from global partners including Range Rover, Singapore Airlines, and Mastercard, as well as over 50 local venues and operators.
Western Australian Tourism Minister, the Hon. Reece Whitby MLA, said:
“Pair’d continues to showcase the best of WA’s South West to the world and reinforces the region as a global destination for premium culinary and cultural experiences. With the timing of the festival coinciding with The World’s 50 Best Vineyards 2025 Awards, international media and industry leaders were able to extend their stay and experience the festival alongside thousands of wine and food lovers. This festival not only boosts the local economy but also highlights the region’s natural beauty, rich culture, and world-class tourism offerings.”
The 2025 Pair’d festival underscores the Cook Government’s commitment to economic diversification, helping establish a year-round events calendar that attracts visitors, supports local businesses, and creates jobs across the region.
