About this tour
This eight-hour guided tour combines Swan Valley's wine country with a leisurely river cruise back to Perth. After a 30-minute drive, you'll explore two wineries, visit the heritage town of Guildford, enjoy a leisurely lunch, sample artisanal chocolate, then board a cruise featuring afternoon tea, live music, and flowing wine as you drift upriver. Small groups (maximum nine people) mean genuine conversation with your guide and fellow travellers.

- Heritage walking through Guildford's colonial streetscape
- Lunch at a local restaurant with wine pairings
- Artisanal chocolate tasting and browse
- Afternoon tea and live music aboard the cruise
- Return journey on the Swan River
- All wine and beverages included throughout
What to expect
Expect a relaxed pace rather than rushed tick-boxes. Your guide collects you from Perth and drives you into farmland within half an hour. The morning involves wandering through two wineries at your own rhythm, learning what distinguishes local drops, then poking around Guildford's heritage buildings before settling in for a proper lunch. The afternoon shifts gears: chocolate samples, a showroom browse, then boarding the cruise where you'll settle with cakes, wine, and live entertainment as the river unfolds around you. The whole experience is designed for adults wanting substance—conversation, flavour, and scenery—not spectacle.
Good to know
Adults only (18+). Wear smart casual; the venues expect it. Small groups mean you're not competing for your guide's attention or jostling for tasting glasses. All drinks are covered. Public transport is nearby if you prefer independent arrival, though pickup is included.
