TICKETS NOW ON SALE!

3…2…1… GO! Tickets are now officially on sale for Western Australia Gourmet Escape, presented by Westpac and otherwise referred to (by Marco Pierre White himself) as “the greatest food event on earth”.

Whether you’re on the hunt for a romantic winery dinner celebrating cucina Italiano, a fun family weekend complete with top-notch food and tunes, a legendary beachside barbeque on Castle Rock Beach, or an eight-course dinner prepared for you by the chef from the World’s Best Restaurant, there’s something for everyone at Western Australia Gourmet Escape. 

This year’s Gourmet Escape is a 10-day celebration, taking place across three regions in Western Australia – the Swan Valley, Margaret River and Perth.

From 8-17 November, you’ll have the chance to rub shoulders with culinary royalty, the likes of which include Momofuku chef and founder David Chang (USA), renowned chef and restauranteur Marco Pierre White (UK), Danny Bowien (USA), Amanda Cohen (USA), Pierre Koffmann (UK) and Carlo Cracco (IT). These international icons will be joined by some of Australia’s ‘tastiest’ talent including Alla Wolf-Tasker AM (VIC), Jock Zonfrillo (SA), Josh Niland (NSW) and Seth James (WA).

Not sure what to book? While there are more than 50 events on the program, here are a few hot tips and highlights to get those mouths watering.
