Swan Valley - WA's oldest wine growing region and Australia’s first Humane Food Region

Located just 25 minutes from Perth, the Swan Valley is home to an ever-growing list of chefs, winemakers, brewers and producers of artisan wares.

It is packed with fresh seasonal produce, with countless restaurants and cafes offering everything from fine dining to salt-of-the-earth pub grub to traditional high tea.

There’s a bursting list of gourmet goods, from extra virgin olive oils, specialty cheese, marinated olives, tapenades, dried fruits, pickles and preserves to handmade chocolate, fudge, truffles, nuts and nougat.

Of course, the Swan Valley is also home to some of the oldest vines in the state and iconic wineries such as Sandalford, Houghtons and Mandoon Estate, as well as a burgeoning number of breweries and distilleries.

The Swan Valley is also the first and only Humane Food Region in Australia. This initiative is a regional commitment to supporting the welfare of animals and producing high quality, healthier, tastier food.

Voted the best visitor centre in the state, the Swan Valley Visitor Centre in Guildford can help visitors get the most out of their Swan Valley visit. The centre’s passionate staff members know the Swan Valley inside and out and back to front, and can tell visitors all the hidden nooks and crannies, the award winners, the family friendly places, the romantic spots, the natural wonders and the many interactive experiences on offer.

The Visitors centre is available to answer any questions, allay any concerns and assist with providing advice, maps and brochures.
