An annual favourite in our events calendar, UnWined Subiaco will be returning to Subiaco's Market Square Park from November 28 - 29 for the largest showcase of local wineries in WA. The festival celebrates its 10th birthday this year, with a fantastic program including wine tastings, food stalls, a silent disco, lawn games and live music.
There'll be over 200 wines from over 30 wineries offering tastings, and wines by the glass and bottles available for purchase, so you can sample a wide range of boutique wines from diverse wine regions across WA, and then take a few home to stock up your cellar. There will also be a selection of craft breweries, gin distilleries and food stalls for you to explore, plus live performances from local artists.
It promises to be a glorious weekend of live music, wine appreciation and delicious food in the park.

He will play a selection of crowd favourites, adding his own spin on iconic tunes.
