Detailed itinerary

The family moved to the Swan Valley in 1996 and sold grapes to local wineries over the years. In 2007 they decided to produce their own wine and label. And so Ugly Duckling Wines was formed.

When the family first moved to the Swan Valley, they lived in the rustic cottage at the front of the property for seven years. In 2010 the back of the cottage was demolished and in early 2011 their cellar door began. Their first vintage produced approximately 3500 bottles of shiraz and 4000 bottles of chardonnay. Since then, they have been expanding their premium range.

We will spend around thirty to forty five minutes here allowing you to enjoy some wine tasting and stretch the paws around the garden and along the side of the vineyard. For those with a sweet tooth, an ice cream shop is on site for those wishing to purchase a sweet treat. Then it’s all back on board Bernie to our second venue.

For 40 years the Lamont’s have been making wine in WA’s Swan Valley. From humble beginnings, Corin Lamont started the winery with the guiding hand of her father Jack Mann, one of WA’s most notable winemakers. The tradition has continued and today Lamont’s award-winning wines are bold and dramatic and pay homage to the family’s heritage. The Lamont’s have been doing food for almost as long, opening one of the Swan Valley’s first winery restaurants which still flourishes today. Included in the tour price is the following for you to enjoy.
Here you will have the opportunity to taste a variety of Lamont’s wines plus enjoy a tapas style lunch at your leisure, with you fur baby beside you. The rustic gardens offer plenty of shade and space to sit back and sample fine wines and tasty tapas.

Funk was established in the Swan Valley by Dustin and Martin Michael, two country brothers from Toodyay, the duo also behind Michael Brothers cold-pressed juice and craft sodas. Their experience with cold-pressed juice has influenced their ciders to reach a new world of flavour.
