In a region already synonymous with exceptional wine and produce, it takes something special to elevate the Margaret River experience. Enter Pair'd – the week-long celebration that recently transformed the Western Australian coastline into a playground of culinary, musical and design excellence.
In a region already synonymous with exceptional wine and produce, it takes something special to elevate the Margaret River experience. Enter Pair'd – the week-long celebration that recently transformed the Western Australian coastline into a playground of culinary, musical and design excellence.
At the heart of this inaugural event was Margaret's Beach Club, perhaps the most Instagram-worthy setting among a festival filled with beautiful moments. Picture this: the pristine white sand of Gnarabup Beach, the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean providing a dramatic backdrop, and a carefully curated space where every design element spoke to relaxed sophistication.
Western Australia’s @pairdfestival is the chicest wine & food festival on Australia’s foodie calendar. From its pop-up beach club to a long lunch for 200 food lovers in the middle of a forest – if you love sampling local produce and good wine in Instagram-worthy locations, this one’s for you.
- delicious. Australia
Not *just* another pop-up venue, the Beach Club is marries natural beauty and thoughtful design – where premium shade structures (courtesy of yours truly at Basil Bangs) created comfort without detracting from the spectacular coastal views.
What made the experience truly special was the seamless integration of sensory pleasures. Guests sipped Margaret River's finest wines while Blur's Alex James traded his bass guitar for DJ decks, spinning tunes that perfectly matched the laid-back atmosphere. Meanwhile, local chefs presented plates that celebrated the region's bounty, proving that exceptional dining experiences don't require formal settings.
And the most exciting part? 2025 dates are already up!
