This half day wine tour is perfect for people who want to get off the beaten track to experience some of the Swan Valley's best boutique wineries, on a relaxed afternoon tour with fellow winelovers.
On this small group half day wine tour of the Swan Valley wine region, we visit four wineries that are all family owned, and have been hand-picked by us for their quality and history within the region. Take time to discuss the wines - sometimes with the winemaker themselves - and learn about the Swan Valley's history as Australia's second oldest wine growing region.
Departing Perth City at approx 12.15pm, this half day wine tour is set at a relaxed pace so that we have plenty of time for questions and discussion, you will also enjoy an included afternoon cheese platter featuring local West Australian cheeses to compliment your wine tasting.
All tastings are included in your tour, including reserve and award-winning wines, and you will have the chance to sample a wide range of quality wines - everything from a Verdelho to a Durif to a Muscat, and even a few surprises you may not expect to see in this wine region. Most of the Swan Valley's wines are produced in very small quantities, so the only place you can find them is at the cellar door.
Which wineries will I visit on this half day wine tour?
The wineries we select for each half day wine tour can change daily to ensure that our guests get the best possible experience on every tour, and at each winery. Our guaranteed small group sizes mean that we have access to wineries that won't accommodate the big tour buses - so you get away from the regular beaten path and receive a more memorable and intimate tasting experience. As wine enthusiasts ourselves, the wineries that we handpick are all highly-respected, locally owned producers that contribute to the quality and history of the Swan Valley wine region.
While we may be serious about our wine, you can rest assured this is definitely a fun afternoon - meeting the producers and discovering the real gems of the Swan Valley with a small group of fellow wine lovers.
Do I need to know anything about wine?
Not at all. We regularly meet people who have very little wine knowledge (sometimes even people who are on their very first wine tour) right through to people who have winemaking, viticulture or WSET qualifications. Wine tasting is completely subjective, and we always ensure that a range of wine styles are available to taste throughout the tour. The information we provide can be tailored to suit each guests' level of knowledge, and we hope that everyone leaves the day learning something new.
This tour is guaranteed maximum of 11 people, so that you get a personal and memorable experience.
