And Have Fun Whilst Doing It!

1. Purchase A Bottle Of Local Wine For Your Weekend Sundowner (Even A Wednesday Night Will Do!).

You may have that favourite winery you frequent in the Valley to buy your special juice, or one that you have visited before on a tour and have collected vino from there.. Well, how about purchasing a bottle from a boutique vineyard you haven’t been to yet? You are then not only supporting a small family run business, but also trying a new drop in the comfort of your own home. So good!

Not sure where to buy from? The d’Vine Tours Team are more than happy to help! Let us know what you like drinking and we will give you a few options and the contact details to head you in the right direction.

2. Get Your Sweet Fix!

There are several fabulous businesses in the Swan Valley that produce delectable morsels to end the perfect home cooked dinner with… or satisfy that 3pm energy slump. We suggest Margaret River Chocolate Co and Whistler’s for divine chocolate. Maison Saint Honoré for the perfect French Macarons or insanely delicious pastries and cakes. House of Honey for… well honey of course! They also make incredible ice cream, cakes and mead as well! And we can’t forget Mondo Nougat, a classic!

Not a sweet lover? That’s okay, you can pick up some goodies for a loved one’s birthday or a special uplift for someone in need. By doing this, you’re killing two birds with one stone – putting a smile on a friends face as well as the local producers.

3. Escape For The Day With A Long Lunch.

Gosh where do I start, the Swan Valley is home to some incredible luncheon spots to cater to everyone’s appetites. Fancy a wood fired pizza? Look no further then Sandalford Winery or even Txoko Brewery to get your fix. How about a Brewery feed with a beer or cider to soak up the salty goodness? Homestead Brewery and Duckstein Brewery have got you covered! For those gourmet platter lovers out there – Ugly Duckling Wines and Faber Vineyard know all about what an impressive grazing board needs, perfect with a glass of vino. And our fav new-ish kid on the block – Funk 2.0 who have it all! Beer, wine, cider, and an extensive Tapas menu from cheese potato bake croquettes to EPIC slow braised lamb shoulder to share! There are so many more amazing venues offering delicious food so if you are after something in particular, just let us know! We are more than happy to help you get your cravings in check whilst supporting a local venue in the process.
