The Swan Valley wine region boasts Western Australia’s oldest vines. First planted in 1829, it has been under vine ever since. Vineyards were established and developed by a close community of multi-generational and multi-cultural families. Over time, this has created a passionate group of independent, hands-on winemakers, with deep ties to the region.
Being a natural food bowl, only 25 minutes from Perth city, the Swan Valley has always been home to growers and producers. The original market gardens have been joined by breweries, distilleries, chocolate and cheese makers and other ventures. Collectively, you have a rich diversity of “makers”.
While traditions endure, new ideas and sustainable practices are embraced as the Valley pioneers Mediterranean warm climate styles. This is history in the making…building on the deep knowledge of both the indigenous and immigrant forebears, whilst continuing to be “makers” that explore new paths to excite and delight wine lovers.
