Join us for a special Welcome to Country & Smoking Ceremony to celebrate the start of Vintage 2025 on Wadandi Boodja (Saltwater Country).
The traditional smoking ceremony, led by local custodians, cleanses and purifies the spirit, body and soul while marking the beginning of something new – a meaningful way to honour this exciting time for the local wine industry.
The event, now in its third year of growth and celebration, will be introduced by Myles Pollard, an accomplished actor, writer, director, and producer with more than two decades of experience in Australian film and television.
The evening will feature live music by local musician Dan White, as well as traditional dance and song by visiting workers from Timor Leste, Fiji and Tonga.
International workers are encouraged to bring a flag or wear a traditional clothing from their home country to showcase the rich multicultural spirit of the vintage workforce in the Margaret River Wine Region.
This event is free of charge, and it is recommended that you bring your own chair and/or picnic blanket. It will run from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.
The event is organised by the Margaret River Wine Association and supported by the Shire of Augusta Margaret River, TeamsWork (formerly SW Labour Solutions) and Undalup Association.
