Margaret River Gourmet Escape
If you’d like to “taste” a foodie fest in its first year, Road Trips Foodies, start planning your trip to Western Australia.
A new culinary adventure to showcase best of the region is set for November 22 through 25, 2012: Margaret River Gourmet Escape.
Some of the world’s best chefs, culinary and wine critics and celebrities attend the four-day event.
Participating chefs include Heston Blumenthal, the owner of the famous Fat Duck restaurant in the United Kingdom; Rene Redzepi from Denmark, whose restaurant Noma was recently ranked the world’s number one for the third time; Australian favorite Justin North of Becasse in Sydney, local star Matt Stone of Greenhouse in Perth and Dany Angove of Leeuwin Estate Winery in Margaret River.
While the event’s base is the Leeuwin Estate Winery, other Margaret River region wineries also will take part. The region has more than 200 vineyards producing 30 percent of Australia’s premium wines.
