As the second oldest wine region in Australia, you don’t get a true sense of what makes the Swan Valley unique until you venture off its main roads. Turn left or right, and you’ll discover wineries and restaurants; farm shops and roadside stalls; wildlife parks and nature reserves; confectioneries and providores; breweries, distilleries, galleries … the list goes on.
What all these businesses have in common is that they are run by people who are passionate about the area. Many are families who have lived and worked in the Swan Valley for generations, after their grandparents (or in some cases, great grandparents) immigrated to Australia during the 1920s and 30s. They arrived with nothing, but went on to establish successful vineyards and farms that are now proudly run by their descendants. This rich history creates a real sense of place. It’s a feeling that you’re sharing something special, with people who love the region and everything it represents.
Located just 25 minutes from the Perth CBD, an escape to the Swan Valley is within easy reach and you’ll be met with down-to-earth hospitality and premium produce.
Whether you’re seeking an adventure with the kids; a romantic getaway; a day out with friends to relax overgood food and wine; or a weekend to explore nature tracks and trails, there really is something for everyone.
So what are you waiting for?
Explore, experience and enjoy all that the Swan Valley has to offer.
