Welcome to the Swan Valley - Australia's second oldest wine region.
On this tour we visit wineries that are all family owned, and have been hand-picked for their quality and historic contribution to the region (and their amazing wine, of course). Get off the regular beaten tourist path away from the crowds as you get access to wineries that won't accommodate the big tour buses.
Discover the real gems of the Swan Valley with fellow wine lovers and take time to discuss the wines – sometimes with the winemaker themselves – so you can get to know the locals and learn about the Swan Valley.
All wine tastings are included in your tour, sample all the signature varietals of the region and even a few you may not know of. Most of the wines you will try are produced small batch, so the only place you can find them is at the cellar door.
You will also enjoy a delicious platter featuring a selection of local cheeses and condiments to compliment your wine tasting.
