The Swan Valley is one of the only wine regions within 30 minutes of a major capital city anywhere in the world. It is also one of the oldest wine-growing regions in Australia dating back to the 1830s.
A vast range of wines are grown in the valley. 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.
Over 40 world-class wineries, boutique breweries, cideries and distilleries populate the region and are complemented by cheese, honey, nougat, chocolate factories, fine dining restaurants and art cafes.
There is a uniquely rustic Australian flavour to this special and popular region and several incredibly talented artists and craftsmen live there. Blacksmiths and metalworkers, stonemasons and fabric designers to name a few. To visit the region for the wine and food alone is a missed opportunity.
