Did you know that Perth is the only place within Australia where you can depart by boat from a capital city and arrive in an award winning wine region on the same day? Discover Perth’s famous Swan Valley Wine Region on one of our popular Swan Valley Wine Cruises.
Perth's award winning Swan Valley Wine Region makes for a great day trip or weekend getaway. This relaxed region is where you'll find rolling vines, meandering waterways and lush natural bushland, as well as award winning wineries, breweries and food producers.
As Western Australia's oldest wine growing region, many vineyards are still owned by descendants of European emigrants. The Swan Valley is also home to a charming mix of big international players such as Sandalford estate, as well as family-run wineries where you can chat with the owner over a fruity red.
Many wineries offer cellar door tastings, or if you're partial to a pint, there are four microbreweries offering award winning drops. Or you can also indulge in divine local produce - olives, cheese, jams, preserves, chocolate and nougat.
For a great time exploring the Swan Valley. We recommend the award winning Swan Valley Tours.
