Small Group Wine Tour

Oakover Grounds lies in the heart of the Swan Valley, surrounded by lush lawns, mature trees and the stunning Oakover grapevines. Enjoy Oakover wines, coffee, Oakover beers and seasonal food straight from the kitchen. Offering unique views over the lake and all its bird life, the restaurant here is an industrial-style warehouse designed with a casual but eclectic feel, offering tastings, coffees and food along with plenty of places to lounge around and catch up.

If you love real Belgian ales, a visit to The Abbey at Chesters is a must-do during your trip to the Swan Valley. All the bottled Belgian ales available here are served in their traditional glassware, and there’s something for every taste. Tastings and sales of Heafod Glen’s full range of award-winning wines are also available with your meal. The restaurant is a casual, comfortable spot with friendly staff and a menu of simple, user-friendly pub grub.

Mandoon Estate has an enviable portfolio of award-winning wines that rank with the world’s best. Mandoon Estate is the only Swan Valley winery that is an invited member of Ultimate Winery Experiences of Australia and is a James Halliday red five star rated winery. Home to a 32 room boutique hotel, a craft brewery, fine dining restaurant, beer garden with kids’ playground, cellar door, function centre, art gallery and exceptional winery, there is sure to be something here to suit you.

A charming, rustic cottage overlooking the vines is home to this small boutique vineyard and cellar door. Premium wines, all locally grown and crafted, coupled with old-fashioned service and a friendly smile is what you’ll get at this popular spot that welcomes dogs in the outdoor dining area. Enjoy a delicious platter of wine-friendly fare or choose from the range of gourmet pies (some made with Ugly Duckling wines) while you relax and soak up the fantastic views across the Swan Valley to the Perth hills.

Perched on one of the most scenic areas of the Swan Valley region, RiverBank Estate offers outstanding panoramic views of the vineyard. This boutique restaurant and winery is also known for its contemporary, seasonally-changing a la carte menu, which offers fresh produce sourced from local organic growers whenever possible. With wide verandahs and a large lawn area, there’s plenty of space to unwind.

Sandalford Wines is one of Western Australia’s oldest, largest and most distinguished producers of premium wine, with a history in the Swan Valley linked to the time of European settlement. The Sandalford Bar and Restaurant celebrates a marriage of modern Australian and contemporary Italian cuisine, with a seasonal menu featuring hand-rolled pasta, wood-fired pizza and other artisanal delights.

Nestled among the vines on a gently winding road near the upper reaches of the Swan River lies the Sittella Winery & Restaurant. In this tranquil setting with valley and vineyard views from the verandah, visitors are invited to enjoy fine food and award-winning wines.

Set bang-smack in the middle of the vineyard, the sheltered bar offers free wine and cheese tastings in a casual, relaxed atmosphere with none of the snobbery or intimidation often associated with wine tasting. Wines are also available by the glass and you can purchase cheese and charcuterie items to enjoy a platter with your drinks. Beautiful vineyard platters can also be organised for your tour and will be served to a table set amongst the old shiraz vines.
