During our stay in Swan Valley—Western Australia—we visited many beautiful vineyards and wineries which we will never find in urban Singapore. In Swan Valley, vineyards are abundant and they are stunning, to say the least.

Even in early spring, vineyards boast a magnificent view and we were impressed by how massive they are and the excellent wines that are produced from the high-quality grapes that require attentive care. From whites to reds and even fortified options, you can find just about any variety here.

For your next visit to Swan Valley, here are the 7 Must-Visit Wineries & Vineyards for the perfect day trip from Perth.

COWARD & BLACK WINERY

Over at Coward & Black Winery, visitors can look forward to fun Chocolate and Wine pairing masterclasses where you get to taste an array of their signature wines.

For reds,  the sophisticated Cabernet Sauvignon os highly recommended and the favourites for whites are the Chenin Blanc and Sweet & Light.

MANDOON ESTATE

Mandoon Estate is one of the biggest wineries and craft breweries in Swan Valley and it is home to some of the best wines in Western Australia.

Our pick of the night was unanimously the Grenache—it was love at first sip and everything about this wine also enhanced the taste of our dinner mains.

OAKOVER GROUNDS

Oakover Grounds shares the same space as FiORi Coffee and has a nice industrial warehouse-style interior on the inside, and a huge lake outside where you can feed the fishes.

They have a great range of whites that surprised us with how clear they were, instead of the usual yellowish-white we see. Light, fruity and easy to drink, the white wines were definitely the stars of the show.

OLIVE FARM WINES

As one of the oldest wineries in Swan Valley, Olive Farm Wines is a must-visit destination. Having relocated from South Guildford, the new space that they have taken up is shared with The Cheese Barrel in Millendon.

The wines here are classics but we suggest trying out their fortified wines which are essentially brandy-infused wines that have a touch of toffee sweetness to it and a higher alcohol content.

Millendon WA 6056, Australia
Daily: 11am – 5pm

PINELLI ESTATE WINES

One of our favourite wineries by far, this Italian family-run winery has an exceptional bottle of Durif that is only produced in small amounts.

For only S$36 a bottle, all of us were wowed by the firm and not-too-acidic taste that made the wine easy to drink.

Caversham WA 6055, Australia
Mon to Fri: 9am – 5pm
Sat & Sun: 10am – 5pm

SANDALFORD WINES

It is hard to pick a favourite amongst the variety of wines we got to try there (not that we are complaining) and we love how Sandalford conducts wine tours so visitors get a taste and first-hand view of how their wines are made and kept in the barrels.

One of the most unforgettable experiences during the wine tour was when we got the chance to sample an aged fortified wine straight out of the barrel!

Caversham WA 6055, Australia
Daily: 10am – 5pm

WINDY CREEK ESTATE

Hands down one of the most relaxing wineries in Swan Valley, you must not leave without trying Windy Creek Estate’s Chenin Blanc which is best paired with seafood or pork dishes.

Sip on your wine while admiring the fantastic view at the same time—this is how life should be like.
