Introducing . . .
‘A Boutique celebration of our region…’
The Frankland River Wine Festival is a boutique celebration of our region, bringing together award-winning wines, local food, agriculture and community in one immersive afternoon. Rather than a traditional wine festival, guests will journey through a series of thoughtfully curated experiences that showcase the people, produce and stories that make Frankland River such a special part of the Great Southern. It's an opportunity to slow down, connect with the makers, discover exceptional wines and enjoy the genuine country hospitality our region is known for.Our Wineries
