The Area: Swan Valley WA

Travel just 30 minutes from Perth and escape to the Swan Valley, a region celebrated for its award-winning wines, deep-set history and gourmet pleasures in myriad shapes and forms. Stretching west from Guildford, the locale hugs the meandering swan river and encompasses sprawling national parkland, picturesque riverside reserves and enough food producers to satisfy the palates of even the most discerning connoisseurs. This is the place to pick up a bottle of boutique Verdelho, bag of roasted coffee beans, bunch of fragrant lavender and pot of fresh creamed honey all in one day.

With all the buzz around the area’s gourmet delights, travellers hop straight on the Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail to discover just what all the fuss is about. Drive on scenic roads between vineyards, breweries, cafes and producers and be sure to visit Houghton Winery, one of the earliest established vineyards and WA’s biggest producer of wine. Part of the Valley’s charm also lies in the small roadside vendors who sell whatever is fresh and in season – expect to see bunches of colourful flowers, strawberries, stone fruits and grapes at the little stalls.

The Swan Valley is also steeped in heritage thanks to its colonial past, with a multitude of options to enchant culture-seekers and amateur historians. In Guildford head to the Old Gaol and Taylor’s Cottage for a sense of convict life, then down a brew at the Rose and Crown Hotel close by. Join a heritage walk trail to learn even more about the area’s roots, passing by buildings of note and learning about the characters who made their stamp on the region.
