"Homegrown events are a key part of our events strategy to create an always on calendar of culinary, arts and culture and sporting events that celebrate WA's unique culture and drive out-of-state visitors.
"We reallylook forward to welcoming those visitors to this fantastic new annual event, especially those who can take advantage of the direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Busselton Margaret River Airport."
As stated by Regional Development Minister Don Punch:
"The lineup of events for Pair'd Margaret River Region will showcase why WA's South West is a renowned producer of some of the finest wine and food in the world.
"Events are vital for supporting and diversifying our regional economies, and we're really proud to be launching the Pair'd program, which features a variety of events and will boost a broad range of local businesses, from farms to wineries."
As stated by Warren-Blackwood MLA Jane Kelsbie:
"Our South West is famous for its food and wine, among many other things, and Pair'd will only help to further grow and showcase the region's incredible reputation.
"As we know, events like these are so important for our local economy here in the region, as they generate valuable tourism dollars for local businesses, create job opportunities and in this case showcase our world-class food and wine offerings, so I'm really excited to see this program unveiled for the inaugural November event."
