Pair’d Margaret River Region Festival 2026

Pair’d is back for another long weekend dedicated to the Margaret River region’s greatest asset: wine. Ringing in the summer months from November 19 to 22, the festival unfolds across vineyards, beaches, forests and caves, pairing the region’s celebrated producers with top culinary talent, live music and immersive experiences that make the most of their surroundings.

The centrepiece is The Grand Tasting at Howard Park Wines, where dozens of the region’s leading wineries pour glasses, served alongside dishes by Matt Moran and Aaron Carr. There’ll also be museum masterclasses, live jazz and a performance from The Preatures’ Isabella Manfredi, plus an in-conversation with Austrian downtempo electronic duo Kruder & Dorfmeister.

Elsewhere, Pair’d Beach Club transforms Meelup Beach into a seaside dining destination, with chefs Gus Stieffenhofer-Brandson and Ben Ing serving coastal-inspired menus matched with Margaret River wines just metres from the ocean. Kruder & Dorfmeister soundtrack the sunset sessions in their only Australian performances scheduled this year.

The wider program invites guests to dig deeper into the region through events including the Howard Park Global Sparkling Tasting; Wine on the Water aboard a luxury catamaran; Cape Mentelle Movie Night; Rosé All Day at Fermoy; and a series of winery long lunches and dinners. Marquee events Nature’s Table (a forest feast in Tanah Marah Forest) and Burnt Ends & Friends – bringing Singapore barbeque heavyweight Dave Pynt together with South Carolina pitmaster Rodney Scott – have already sold out.
