Swan Valley Region Private Day Tours
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.

Stop At: Swan Valley, Swan Valley, Greater Perth, Western Australia
Its most important to know that you can customise this tour to your specific interest. The list here is not necessarily a set Itinerary.
The Swan Valley Day Tour includes stops at a range of larger estates and smaller family wineries. The majority offer tastings for a small fee and some include delicious local cheeses.
The region is also home to many excellent beer breweries, spirits distilleries, chocolate, honey and nougat businesses.
I also offer many stops to local places of interest which larger tour operators simply cannot include due to size and time limitations.
I have taken many visitors who have no interest in alcohol to the Swan Valley. There is a lot of history, many attractions and great places to eat in the region.
Duration: 6 hours
Stop At: Old Young's, 10581 West Swan Rd, Henley Brook, Swan Valley, Western Australia 6055 Australia
True to their name, Old Young’s brings tradition together with new techniques and a flair for the unusual (think cold-drip coffee, the pavlova-flavoured vodka and a gin called Old BAG.) These hand-crafted high quality spirits are produced using some of the world's best raw materials (barley malt, wheat, spring water, grapes and fruit).
Hosted tastings are offered seven days a week and you can try the full range of Old Young’s vodkas and gins, both neat or paired with a dash of hand-picked mixer.
Tastings are $5 per person and additional to the Tour
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Feral Brewing Brewpub, 152 Haddrill Rd, Baskerville WA 6056, Australia
Feral Brewing Co. is the place for those who take their beer just a little bit too seriously. Driven by a deep respect for traditional brewing methods, the Feral team brew beers brimming with character and complexity – a style that is deliberately, distinctly and unapologetically Feral.
The brews here verge on the wild, from the valley’s first barrel-aged barley wine to a range of experimental and seasonal beers born from the most furtive (read: deranged) of minds.
Their Swan Valley Brewpub is home to an experimental brewery, barrel aging shed, market garden, restaurant and beer garden.
Tasting Paddles and lunch are additional costs to the tour.
