SWAN VALLEY FOOD AND
WINE TRAIL LEGEND
YOUR GUIDE TO CYCLING IN THE SWAN VALLEY AND GUILDFORD
Welcome to the Swan Valley, just 25 minutes from the bustling Perth city centre - and yet a whole world away.
THE SWAN VALLEY Load up your bikes, or hire one if you prefer, and take a leisurely pedal around this charming corner of the world.
Stock up on seasonal produce from our famous roadside stalls, picked straight from the backyard. Think plump figs, sweet melons, juicy strawberries, flavoursome asparagus and vine-ripened tomatoes.
Call in to top-notch restaurants and cafes along the way – from fine dining to salt-of-the-earth pub grub, to traditional high tea, there’s a taste to suit all.
The area is bursting with artisan wares to purchase, from extra virgin olive oils, specialty cheese, marinated olives, tapenades, dried fruits, pickles and preserves to handmade chocolate, fudge, truffles, nuts and nougat.
The Swan Valley is also home to some of the oldest vines in Western Australia, celebrating over 180 years in winemaking in 2014, as well as some of the states most iconic wineries such as Sandalford and Houghton.
With little rain and a hot sun overhead, the Swan Valley’s earth plays the perfect host to world-class varieties of Chenin Blanc, Verdelho, Shiraz, Cabernet and Petit Verdot. The long, hot summers mean grapes can be treated to extra ripening time, creating the ultra high sugar levels needed for fortifieds and rare and coveted liqueurs such as Shiraz and Verdelho.
Spend a day or more touring here and you’ll see everything from leading vintners to the heart-warming growers who welcome you like an old friend at the cellar door.
Please note that it is a legal requirement in Western Australia that all cyclists wear an appropriate helmet.
