Vintage Welcome to Country & Smoking Ceremony
29 January, 2026 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Join us for a special Welcome to Country & Smoking Ceremony led by the Undalup Association to celebrate the start of Vintage 2026 on Wadandi Boodja (Saltwater Country).
The traditional smoking ceremony cleanses and purifies the spirit, body and soul while marking the beginning of something new. It’s a meaningful way to honour the season and an exciting time for the Margaret River wine industry as seasonal workers arrive, and preparations for the harvest to begin.
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.
BYO chair / picnic blanket.
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.
