Swan Valley Region Private Day Tours

Swan Valley Region Private Day Tours

  • Perth, Western Australia
Arts & Design
Cruises & Sailing

This is a private tour for you and your group only. The day offers a broad overview of the region and is not simply a wine tour.

The Swan Valley is one of the only wine regions within a 30 minute drive of a major capital city anywhere in the world. It is also one of the oldest wine growing regions in Australia.

Over 40 wineries, breweries and distilleries operate in the valley, and there is a huge choice of restaurants as well. There is a strong tradition of fortified winemaking and a long record of producing whites that are simple, fresh and crisp. The reds grown in the valley are known for their remarkable softness and drinkability at an early age.

A rustic charm fills this region and a number of talented artists and craftsmen live here. Blacksmiths & Metal Craftsmen, Stonemasons & Fabric designers to name a few. To visit the region for the wine and food alone is a missed opportunity so I include these wonderful creative options for you.

Tastings & Lunch costs are extra.

The last track on the tour summarises everything you’ve seen and it also tells you about other nearby places.

Every city has places that are great during the day but a ghost town at night or busy on some days and quiet on others and we talk about those too. At the end of the tour, you will have places to go, food to eat, drinks to drink – enough to keep you busy for a week or two
