The Swan Valley is an amazing world 25 minutes from the centre of Perth. Here you can find titled wineries, dine in exquisite restaurants, fascinating stories, local arts and activities - all set against a stunning backdrop of stunning scenery.
The best way to experience the soul of the Swan Valley is to Go on the 32 kilometre Wine Route to visit superb wineries, breweries, restaurants, cafes and markets with trays of fresh fruit and vegetables.
The indigenous Nyoongar Aboriginal people are thought to be the original inhabitants of the valley, having been here for at least 40,000 years. They believe that at the time of the creation of the world, the mythical snake Wagul crawled through here and left behind a trail - the valley through which the Swan River flowed.
Today, the Swan Valley is considered the oldest wine region in the state of Western Australia. It is home to vineyards producing some of the finest wines in the world, such as Verdelo and Shiraz. Equally famous are the breweries, whose products can be tasted as soon as they're brewed.
