Description:

Gently meander through the picturesque vineyards of Swan Valley in a comfortable Clydesdale-drawn carriage. See a wide array of local wildlife, sample the area’s excellent gourmet food and wines, and gain valuable insight into the history of this delightful region.

It’s hard to believe such rural idyll can exist so close to a major city. Just a few minutes outside of Perth in Henley Brook, climb aboard your carriage and trot down the trails in Swan Valley. As you move along the shores of Lake Yakine, keep your eyes peeled for different species of native birds including ibises, pelicans, and black swans.

Throughout this food-centric agricultural area, producers are championing local ingredients. Taste rich and peppery olive oils, briny cured olives, and locally make dukkah—a Middle Eastern blend of crushed nuts and spices. You can also satisfy your sweet tooth with refreshingly cool ice cream or sorbet from Oggie's Ice Cream Café and English Lolly Shop.

Swan Valley might be most famous for its vineyards. Sip a wide variety of premium red and white vintages and varietals as you ride through the region, and raise a glass of fortified wine and festive bubbly in the cellar doors at Edgecombe Brothers Winery and Swanbrook Estate.

As your horses plod through the countryside, listen to insightful commentary on the history of the valley's settlements. A final stop at the Maalinup Gallery provides perspective on the heritage of Australia's indigenous cultures.
