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.
Pickup included
On the way to the Swan Valley, tucked away off the main road to Guildford is an amazing team of Metalwork artists who create incredible creative sculptures. Earlsferry Sculptures is actually little known even to locals but is included in this tour for its magnificent displays in the beautiful riverside garden setting. Depending on the time of your visit you may even see these artists at work.
One of the main areas of settlement for the Swan River Colony in the 1830s was Guildford. Passing through this area on your way to the Swan Valley you will be shown heritage buildings and sites that shaped the first century of settlement in Western Australian. Opportunity to browse through antique and curiosity shops as well and one of the best bakerys in the region.
When you need a wakeup before the wine tastings this is the place. Either grab a coffee on the run or do a tasting for a small fee and an introduction to the world of Coffee.
