WHAT IS THIS REGION KNOWN FOR?
A wine and food enclave with generations of tradition and a booming industry of micro-distilleries and craft breweries.
THE WINE REGION
With almost 200 years of winemaking history under its belt, the Swan Valley is home to the oldest vines in Western Australia. with many stories to tell, many of the vineyards are now run by third or fourth generation winemakers continuing the legacy of their ancestors.
One of the warmest wine regions in Australia, the Swan Valley is one of the few regions able to produce a range of wine from sparkling through to fortified styles all in the one region. The wine styles that you will find in this region are fresh, crisp white wines with remarkable ageing potential, and rich fruit forward red wines with great drinkability.

Artisan wares and gourmet produce can be found throughout the region - from extra virgin olive oils, olives, preserves, nuts, local honey and freshly roasted coffee to handmade nougat, gelato and chocolate.

TOURS IN THE SWAN VALLEY
Swan Valley tours are available 'by the seat' where you can join others on either half day tour or premium full day tour, both of which focus on the boutique wineries of the region. Being small group tours, we get access to venues off the beaten path that can't accommodate big bus groups.
Private tours are also available where the experience can be customised to your taste, and can be completely alcohol free if you prefer.
Indepth experience such as vineyard tours, barrel tastings and behind the scenes winery tours are also available most of the year.

This is the ideal place to get up close to cuddle a koala or feed a kangaroo - amongst many other experiences.
