WELCOME TO MARGARET RIVER GOURMET ESCAPE PRESENTED BY AUDI, ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S PREMIER CULINARY FESTIVALS. This year’s festival will feature a great range of events set in some of the most extraordinary locations in the Margaret River Region such as stunning beaches, tall timber forests, vineyards and even the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, the 1.8km Busselton Jetty. The festival continues to grow in popularity, attracting more than 50 talented food and wine experts from across Australia and the world, including countries such as the UK, Singapore, Russia, the Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, France, Indonesia and Mexico. Food and wine tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the tourism industry worldwide, and events such as Margaret River Gourmet Escape will help position WA as a global leader in culinary tourism. The festival is proudly supported by the State Government through Tourism WA’s Regional Events Program, which is funded by Royalties for Regions.
Royalties for Regions invests in a variety of initiatives to help grow Western Australia’s regional areas into thriving and sustainable communities. Tourism is a vital industry for regional Western Australia. In 2014, the total visitor spend in the State was $8.6 billion and $3.8 billion of this was spent in regional WA. The State Government’s goal is to see the contribution of regional tourism increase to $4.75 billion by 2020. Supporting events such as Margaret River Gourmet Escape will help us achieve that goal. Regional events generate valuable national and international promotion for regional Western Australia, provide a boost to the economy and add vibrancy to towns, making them exciting places to visit, as well as great places to live. We hope you enjoy all that this amazing festival and the South West region have to offer.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA’S SENSATIONAL SEAFOOD IS ON PARADE AT GOURMET ESCAPE. Western Australia produces some of the world’s finest seafood and what makes it so special is that it comes from some of the world’s most sustainable fisheries. Knowing that it is sustainably harvested enhances the appreciation. To provide this assurance, Western Australia is rolling out a visionary initiative to offer every commercial fishery the opportunity to be independently certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). A fishery that is MSC-certified has passed the world's most vigorous, scientific standard for sustainability. WA’s line-up of MSC-certified fisheries features Exmouth Gulf and Shark Bay prawns, which gained MSC certification in October. They join WA’s MSC-certified Western Rock Lobster, the first in the world to be MSC-certified, and Patagonian Toothfish.
Fisheries currently in MSC full assessment are Mandurah Blue Swimmer Crab (both commercial and recreational) and Sea Mullet, Crystal Crab and Broome’s Australian South Sea Pearls. More fisheries will soon be joining the MSC program! The long-term MSC plan is the result of a partnership between the State Government (which has provided a $14.5m funding to facilitate MSC certification), WAFIC (the peak body representing professional fishing, pearling and aquaculture) and Recfishwest (the body representing recreational fishers).
WA FISHING INDUSTRY COUNCIL AND MSC AT THE GOURMET VILLAGE Come and visit the WAFIC and MSC stand to chat about WA seafood, the MSC eco-label and what it takes to meet MSC’s global sustainable fishing standard.
Have some fun taking a selfie in our photo booth. On Saturday, don’t miss your chance to meet two great chefs - Matt Moran at 2.30pm and Rick Stein at 2.45pm - when they drop in for a visit at the Gourmet Village.
For more information on WA’s vibrant seafood industry www.wafic.org.au and on WA’s MSC seafood future www.wamsc.com.au Official MSC-certified seafood suppliers to Rick Stein’s Dining on the Jetty: Geraldton Fishermen’s Cooperative (Western Rock Lobster), Austral Fisheries (Glacier51 Toothfish), MG Kailis Group (Exmouth Wild prawns) and Shark Bay Wild prawn producers.

GOURMET VILLAGE – THE HEART OF THE FESTIVAL Family owned Leeuwin Estate is one of the five founding wineries of the now famous Margaret River district of Western Australia. Under the direction of two generations who work with a team of highly skilled winemakers to consistently produce wines ranking alongside the world's finest, Leeuwin Estate was thrust into the international spotlight when Decanter Magazine gave its highest recommendation to the 1980 "Art Series" Chardonnay. Having hosted the Gourmet Village since the first Gourmet Escape, Leeuwin Estate provides the perfect backdrop to a great day out.
