Festival will showcase Western Australia's finest cuisine

Holidaymakers who are planning a trip to Western Australia later this year will be in for a real treat when the Margaret River Gourmet Escape gets into full swing.

The event is aimed at showcasing the region's very best cuisine and a number of world famous chefs such as Heston Blumenthal and Rene Redzepi will be on hand to cook their latest innovative dishes.

Margaret River is renowned for its winemaking and this food festival - which takes place between 22nd and 25th November - will also feature some of the most delicious and exclusive tipples on the planet.

A spokesperson for Western Australia Tourism said: "Margaret River - known for its laid-back sophistication, natural beauty, quality vineyards and premium produce - will play host to Australia's most extraordinary food and wine event."

The glorious region is just a three-hour drive from Perth and the stunning scenery ensures that it is most definitely a worthwhile trip.

For those who want to be at the heart of the Margaret River throughout their holiday, the wonderful Cape Lodge is a fantastic place to stay.
