This is a fantastic way to learn about wine making in Swan Valley. The winery stops are chosen with care and the small group size means you get a relaxed experience. Wine and food were excellent, and a stop at a chocolate place too. Tim is super knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great time and met some lovely people. Definitely recommend!

    I can highly recommend this tour. Tim was great and very knowledgeable about wine and the region. Logistics were easy, we went to lovely wineries and since the tour sticks to smaller producers, we were able to meet and talk to the owners and winemakers. A small tour like this is a great way to experience the Swan Valley. Morning tea and lunch were also excellent.

    Maxine_B, Mar 2026
    So enjoyed going to the Boutique Wineries a much more pleasant experience and some very fine wines. My only criticism would be that the place we had lunch needs to take after wineries in Chile or California and step up their gourmet game.

    Go for it

    This was a very enjoyable experience. I loved enjoying the wines and food of the Swan Valley. Tim was an excellent and entertaining tour guide. I’d give it six stars if I could.

    Small group, boutique wineyards.

    Hubert_B, Feb 2026
    The tour is with 10 max participants. There are 4 wine tasteing, lunch and chocolate shop. 6h + 1h there and back. The places, and the timing is very well selected. No hurry, relax and enjoy. If I may suggest anythin, it would be a cheese or bread board in the 3rd and/or 4th place to augument the wine. That being said, this is still a 5 star experience as it is.

    What a fabulous day we had with Tim. Highly recommend. The wineries selected where all high standard as well as our lunch venue.

    Wonderful tour!

    Heather_L, Nov 2025
    This tour was super enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone that likes wine and wants to spend a peaceful day outside the city. Tim was an excellent guide. He was prompt, knowledgeable and just simply a really pleasant fellow. I loved how our small group was able to access these boutique wineries he has hand picked. The wines were very good and the whole experience felt more intimate and exclusive than traveling with a large tour group. Thank you, Tim!

    Excellent wine tour of Swan Valley.

    We had an excellent time yesterday with Tim our guide. Tim was very knowledgeable about the various wineries that we visited and was very approachable and helpful. We had a great time sampling the wines and learning about wine making history in Western Australia. 10/10.

    We had an amazing experience on our wine tour around the Swan Valley with Tim! It was a small group so a very intimate experience where we could ask any questions and learn a lot about the region/ wine. Tim was very knowledgeable about all the wineries we visited including about their history/ techniques/ wines etc. so it was a great experience. Also with 3 wineries with a lot of tastings, lunch + a stop at a chocolate place at the end of the tour, it is a great deal and a way to spend your day! Would highly recommend!

    Great way to spend a day traveling a short distance out of Perth to experience wine tastings at small boutique wineries. Chocolate tasting was a nice end to the tour. The lunch was superb!

    I had such a great time on this tour. Tim is an excellent host and I loved the diversity of the wineries we visited. You really got a great insight into the region and now I have a lot of wine that I will need to purchase online when I get home!

    What an awesome day with Tim

    Keith_H, Sep 2025
    What and excellent day out, tim picked us up.on time and was a cracking bloke and knew loads about the wine and wineries. Has tailored his tour to feel more personal and clear he has a good relationship with the winery owners. He couldn't do enough for you throughout the day. Much better than a 52 seater coach....more personal and could learn more about the wines. Overall great day out great tour guide in Tim would recommend 100%

    Avoid the huge busses and do this great small group wine tour!

    I wanted to take a moment to share our recent experience on the VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour - Premium Small Group Wine & Gourmet Experience. From start to finish, this tour was excellent, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable day out in the beautiful Swan Valley region. Our day included visits to picturesque Garbin Wines, charming Kosovich Wines, Faber Vineyards, and a delightful lunch at Mandoon Estate. Tim, our amazing guide, made everyone feel welcome and comfortable right from the start. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine warmth set the tone for an unforgettable day. We began at Garbin Wines, where the setting was as lovely as the fantastic selection of wines that greeted us. Next, at Kosovich Wines, we were again impressed by the quality and character of their offerings, all enjoyed in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Lastly, we stopped at Faber Vineyards, where the passion and expertise of the staff shone through in every unique wine we tasted. Learning about the winemaking process here was both fascinating and enjoyable. we enjoyed a mouthwatering lunch at Mandoon Estate. The food options were excellent and the estate's stunning backdrop made for a truly great and leisurely meal. To top it off we finished the day at the Margaret River chocolate company where we sampled some excellent products and had time to make some selections to bring with us at the end of the day! Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. Tim's exceptional guidance and the thoughtfully curated itinerary made this tour truly special - we highly recommend this tour for people in or near Perth.

    Amazing wine tour experience

    Amazing day with Tim and fellow wine enthusiasts to explore several boutique wineries in the Swan Valley region. Tim is a great host providing background and story during the tour.

    Amazing experience!

    If you’re looking to book a wine tour in Perth, I highly recommend this small group experience. Tim is amazing and knows his wine! He picked the perfect boutique wineries, shared his knowledge about the region and each winery, and is all around a great person to spend the day with. And the chocolate stop at the end is brilliant!

    It was great!! From the booking until the pick up, it was well organized and informative. The small number of participants made the group cozy and fun. Tim as operator of the tour was also very attentive! Thank you for making the trip enjoyable though it was raining all the time

    Surprisingly good quaint boutique vineyards and very informative tour guide.

    Bryce_W, Jul 2025
    My family and I really enjoyed this very comfortable way to explore the not so well known Swan Valley boutique vineyards. The tour operator (Tim) was extremely helpful and very informative about the Swan Valley history. All of the ‘Cellar Doors’ we visited were slightly different and lunch, including wine or beer, was particularly good (included). The Tour was rounded off with a sweet ending at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory. Overall an excellent tour choice and highly recommended.

    Great Small group tour

    Michelle_Z, May 2025
    I can highly recommend the Swan River Winery Tour, Tim was friendly and full of knowledge. All of the wineries we visited were lovely, cheese platter was great, lunch was delicious and the chocolate factory was a great way to end our day.

    Must do experience with the best tour guide in the area.

    Tom_F, May 2025
    Comprehensive view and experience from a tour guide that knows the area and the inside scoop. Tim was professional while very charismatic. He was well versed and we learned a lot with this fantastic tour.

    Person_R, Jan 2025
    The best small tour I've ever been on. Tim was so friendly and knowledge and took the time to get to know everyone on the tour

    Fantastic day filled with great wines

    Maciej_G, Jan 2025
    Great tour with visits mainly focusing on small, family owned wineries, which gives you a unique opportunity to taste and buy wine which is not available in retail or overseas. Our guide, the owner of the company, was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The group size was quite small which was a bonus. Overall it was a great day.

    Small group, niche wineries, great guide. Don’t miss out!

    Brian_A, Oct 2024
    With our efficient guide a group of 8 visited 3 smaller family wineries whose love for their work showed in the quality and variety of their product. Tim was very knowledgeable about wine generally and the Swan Valley in particular. A great day for wine fans.

    Great tour

    Lilian_J, Oct 2024
