The Swan Valley is only 20 minutes from Perth by car or
tourist coach and is easily accessible by public
transport (train and bus) or river boat. Organised tours
are also available offering full and half day trips

regions in Australia and one of the best known. There
are some 30 wineries in the valley ranging from small
family operations to multi-million dollar businesses.
Most have cellar door sales and many also serve food.
You can have fun tasting and choosing a wine and
ordering a meal at the same time.

a cultural, historical and entertainment mecca. It is a
huge port and has a busy industrial area around the
