The West Coast of Australia is calling; for a vacay filled with wine tasting, delicious food, stunning scenery, and celebrity chefs aplenty, this Gourmet Escape with CheapTickets.sg is a must!
There’re a few things guaranteed to restore a smile to our faces when we’re feeling glum. Namely, food and vacations. Oh, and wine (always wine). And when the world conspires to combine this magical triumvirate, well, you’ll just have to excuse us for getting a tad overexcited. You can imagine, then, that our ears pricked up upon hearing that the Margaret River Gourmet Escape, presented by Audi in Western Australia, is returning next month for a fifth outing between 18 and 20 November. Dream vacay? You bet’cha! What’s more, given that this stellar wine region is a mere five-hour flight from Singapore, it would be rude not to indulge. Here’re a few reasons why this weekend getaway is being added to our to-do list.
1. It’s a bargain
Thanks to CheapTickets.sg, you can currently nab an epic travel deal. They’ll hook you up with flights from Singapore to Perth, four nights accommodation in the Margaret River region (twin-sharing basis), and entry tickets into the Gourmet Village. The best part? This five-day foodie escapade come in at $620 per person (when two people travel together). Yes, really!

2. Food, glorious food
Move over Sydney and Melbourne! For wondrous produce, Western Australia is where it’s at. And the three-day Gourmet Escape will give you the chance to not only meet internationally-famed chefs (think Nigella Lawson and Rick Stein, to name but two), but also taste the culinary creations of 50 other international foodie pros. What’s more, there are loads of other dining experiences to take advantage of! We love the sound of the Audi Gourmet Beach BBQ, and the unique ‘Feast in the Forest in association with delicious’ experience (think wood, flames, smoke, and traditional cooking methods under the canopy of beautiful Jarrah trees!).

3. More wine than you can shake a stick at
Margaret River is, arguably (alright old world wine snobs – we hear ya), one of the world’s top wine producing regions. And we couldn’t be more pumped to spend a few days roaming around this stunning location while sipping on a glass of red, white, or bubbles from top wineries. Our pick of the bunch? Leeuwin Estate wines: a must-visit, and also the host of the unmissable Gourmet Village.
4. Road trip!
Two words that will instantly make any vacay even more memorable? Road trip! Car rental Down Under is cheap (we’re talking from $35 per day), making four wheels the best way to explore the region. And just because they’re nice like that, the good peeps at Cheaptickets.sg have also compiled a handy five-day self drive itinerary that will take you through beauty spots including Busselton, Augusta, Dunsborough, Perth City, and (of course) Margaret River. The entire region is stunning, and there’s a lot more to it than wineries (though we love those too!). Think white sandy shores lapped by cerulean waves, water sports, bustling cafes, boutique shops and underground caves made for exploring.
DBS customers; rejoice! You can enjoy an exclusive $100 cash rebate from CheapTickets.sg when you book a flight and minimum of three nights accommodation in the region and a ticket to any Margaret River Gourmet Escape Event. Huzzah!
