Description:

Go back in time with a horse-drawn carriage journey through the picturesque Swan Valley to explore the food and drinks that make the area so famous. Board your comfortable wagon and set off to tour the trails and charming natural environment of this rural landscape.

The Clydesdale-style wagon is a luxury transport carriage of yesteryear. Climb aboard and take a break as your horses plod down the rural paths. Periodically stop off at well-known local food producers. Exactly what is offered is dependent on the season, but expect to taste rich olive oils, matured preserves, and fresh fruits and vegetables—whatever has been harvested from the fields at that time.

As you pass through the bird sanctuary at Lake Yakine, keep your eyes peeled for the ibis, pelican, and black swan. In a valley so famous for its wine production, it would be a shame not to pause for a taster or 2. Sample red, white, and sparkling wines from highly regarded wineries. At the oldest operating church of the district, engage with local history and understand more about the origins of today's settlements.
