About This Experience

The Swan Valley holds a rare distinction: one of Australia's closest wine-producing regions to a capital city, just 25 minutes from Perth and home to over 40 wineries, six breweries, two distilleries, three cideries and a meadery. The day begins with pickup from your Perth accommodation and a scenic drive east through Guildford, celebrated for its colonial architecture. From there the tastings roll: locally grown and processed wines, fresh nougat and nuts, and the Margaret River Chocolate Company's Swan Valley factory, where viewing windows reveal the chocolatiers at work and the tastings are complimentary. • Tastings of locally grown and processed Swan Valley wines • Fresh nougat and nut sampling, plus local jams and honey products • Margaret River Chocolate Company — free entry, complimentary tastings and chocolatiers at work behind viewing windows • Maalinup Aboriginal Gallery (subject to availability) — hand-painted giftware, native herbs and spices, and tastings of jams, chutneys, olive oils and dukkah with hosts Dale and Lyall Tilbrook 'Maali' is the Wardandi word for the black swan. Before the drive back there's time to stock up on local produce, with drop-off at your hotel, Northbridge or Perth CBD.
