The Perth Royal Food Awards return in 2026, continuing as one of Australia’s trusted benchmarks for quality, integrity and craftsmanship across the food and beverage industry.
Delivered by the Royal Agricultural Society of WA, the awards celebrate the people behind the product, the farmers, makers, brewers and distillers whose skill, care and commitment shape what ends up on our plates and in our glasses.
Spanning a deliciously full calendar of competitions, the 2026 program provides producers with a nationally respected platform to showcase their products, while helping food lovers discover award-winning food and drink with confidence.
