The Margaret River Region will take centre stage this November as the first ever Australian host for the prestigious The World's 50 Best Vineyards awards.

The 2025 event will be held on Wednesday 19 November, celebrating outstanding vineyards around the world that combine exceptional wine, food and visitor experiences. It's the first time vineyards are recognised under the esteemed '50 Best' global brand.

The World's 50 Best Vineyards list is compiled annually to spotlight and celebrate the leading wine tourism destinations around the globe. Each year, it highlights exceptional vineyards that offer unique visitor experiences, ranging from modern architectural masterpieces and UNESCO-protected ancient cellars to award-winning dining spots and intimate family-run wineries.

The event will kick off a huge week in the region, with the return of the Pair'd Margaret River Region festival to follow from 20–23 November 2025.

Pair'd is a vibrant four-day event now in its second year, that showcases the South West's world-class wine, food and music, featuring exclusive experiences across iconic wineries and destinations, and collaborations with the region's top chefs, winemakers and sommeliers.
