About this tour
Explore the Swan Valley, one of Australia's oldest and most accessible wine regions, on a customised private tour lasting 6–8 hours. Rather than a straightforward vineyard crawl, this outing balances tastings across 40+ wineries, breweries and distilleries with visits to local artisans—blacksmiths, stonemasons and textile designers—who inject genuine character into the valley. Hotel transfers, a knowledgeable driver and flexibility to steer your own itinerary mean you'll experience the region at your own pace.

What to expect
Your guide picks you up from your hotel and drives you into rolling vineyard country. You'll steer the day's direction—which cellar doors matter most, where to eat lunch, whether to detour toward a studio or workshop. Tastings typically cost $5–$10 per person and aren't bundled in, so budget accordingly. The valley's reds are notably smooth and young-drinking, whilst whites tend toward fresh and mineral-driven. Between tastings you might watch a blacksmith at work or chat with a weaver. Lunch is your choice from numerous local spots. The guide manages logistics and shares regional stories throughout.
Good to know
Tastings and lunch are paid separately; plan $30–$50 per person for both. Bookings of five or more require one week's notice. Specialised infant seats available if you're travelling with young children. The pace suits all fitness levels since most stops involve minimal walking.
