VISIT US IN THE VALLEY ...

Any time of the year

THE SWAN VALLEY is a great place to visit all year round for a daycation, celebration or to stock up on fresh produce.

In summer the Valley is blessed with some of the best, crunchiest table grapes in Australia; people drive from all over Perth to buy them. Also look out for juicy melons, fresh corn and ripe figs. It’s also the start of the all-important harvest time for our winemakers.

As autumn’s cool days descend, seek out late season Autumn Crisp grapes, pomegranates and pumpkins. Easter is also a great time to celebrate in the Swan Valley with chocolatiers working overtime crafting eggs and bunnies.

Winter means red wines and open fires as well as the arrival of the Swan Valley’s citrus fruits. It’s a perfect time to visit the natural beauty of Bells Rapids – a popular and busy spot to watch August’s annual Avon Descent.

Spring in the Swan Valley means the arrival of asparagus, which has a short season but is in high demand from foodies and chefs alike. Broad beans, peas and zucchini also make an appearance at roadside stalls and on menus. Winemakers celebrate the new vintage as part of the annual Entwined in the Valley festival of food and wine in October. You will even spot wildflowers on the Darling Scarp.
