Only a 15-minute drive from Perth Midland Tourist Park, Swan Valley is Western Australia’s oldest wine region and one of its most scenic getaways. Known for its vineyards, farm gates, and art trails, this region offers the perfect mix of indulgence and countryside relaxation — all just moments from your stay.
A Taste of the Good Life
Food and wine lovers will feel right at home in Swan Valley. The region is packed with award-winning wineries, breweries, and distilleries, many family-owned and offering warm, country hospitality. Enjoy wine tastings at Sandalford Wines or Houghton Winery, or unwind with a long lunch among the vines at Sittella Winery or Mandoon Estate.
For something a little different, visit one of the valley’s craft breweries or gin distilleries, where you can sample local flavours in relaxed garden settings. Many venues welcome families and feature playgrounds, live music, and open lawns perfect for an easy afternoon out.
Family-Friendly Fun
Swan Valley isn’t just for wine lovers — it’s also one of Perth’s most family-friendly regions. Spend a day at Caversham Wildlife Park, where you can feed kangaroos and meet koalas, or explore Whiteman Park, with its heritage tram rides and shady picnic spots. Kids (and adults alike) will love The Maze / Outback Splash, featuring water slides, mini golf, and mazes that make for a fun-filled day outdoors.
For a sweet treat, stop by the Margaret River Chocolate Company — local favourite that guarantee smiles all around.
Art, Markets & Countryside Strolls
Take your time exploring the Swan Valley Art Trail, featuring local galleries, studios, and handcrafted wares. Weekends are made for browsing the Swan Settlers Market, where you can pick up local produce and unique gifts.
If you prefer something slower, cycle or drive the Swan Valley Food & Wine Trail, a 32-kilometre loop that connects more than 150 attractions through scenic countryside.
Make It a Day to Remember
Whether you’re tasting your way through vineyards, exploring local art, or enjoying a picnic by the river, Swan Valley delivers a slice of Western Australia that’s authentic, welcoming, and full of charm.
