Western Australia’s Margaret River region kicks off a new marketing campaign in Singapore entitled ‘First Class in a Glass’ that aims to promote the wines produced there as well as the region as a holiday destination.

Western Australia’s Margaret River region is known for many things – the culinary festival that is the Margaret River Gourmet Escape being one of them – but wine aficionados know it best for the amazing wines that come out of that region. It’s also a great holiday destination – some 97,000 Singaporeans flocked to Western Australia in the last year, many who visited Margaret River for its pristine natural wonders, premium wineries, relaxed microbreweries, world-class restaurants, spectacular beaches, and more.
