Oui, Paris! At Fleur
Thursday 7 August
Transport yourself straight to Paris at Fleur, where chefs Brendan Pratt and Logan Place will recreate the magic of a Parisian bistro for one night only. Think caviar bumps on arrival, buttery escargots, tournedos rossini, and champagne sorbet—dishes that bring together tradition, elegance, and romance.
Cape to Cape at Cooee
Saturday 9 August
Perhaps your idea of indulgence involves a deep dive into the flavours of Margaret River. Cape to Cape brings together local chefs Iain Robertson, Daniel Arthur, and Kim Brennan to showcase the region’s finest produce and wines. Each of the six courses is an ode to the land—marron from the southwest, truffle-infused creations, and robust wines that speak to the heart of the region—all paired with stories of the people who make Margaret River what it is today.
Oma-Saké at Papi Katsu
Thursday 21 August
Take your love for Japanese cuisine up a notch at Papi Katsu’s Oma-Saké. This eight-course Omakase experience is paired with saké cocktails that are as refined as the food itself. From caviar and seaweed tart to dry-aged short rib, this event promises a symphony of Japanese flavours with a twist.
The Chef’s Pass at Double Rainbow

Savour prime butcher’s cuts, including scotch, eye fillet, and short rib, paired with exceptional wines from Italy’s Chianti and Brunello regions. This four-course feast is complemented by seasonal sides—like duck fat potatoes and honey-glazed roasted veg—and ends with a cheese plate and petit fours.
A Night with Vanya at Small Print
Saturday 30 August
Spend an evening with one of Australia’s most renowned winemakers, Vanya Cullen, at Small Print.

Make a Night of It with a Gourmet Getaway
