Wine, Chocolate and Roses Food and Wine Day Tour
Wine, Chocolate and Roses Food and Wine Day Tour
DESCRIPTION: Swan Valley * Boutique Wineries * Wine Tasting * Chocolate * Vineyard Platter Luncheon * Rose Heritage Gardens * Darling Ranges.
Enjoy a relaxing drive to the Swan Valley, only 20 minutes from Perth City, to visit 6 boutique wineries, plus the chocolate factory and onto the Darling Ranges to the beautiful Heritage Rose Gardens.
Wine growing started in 1829 by English botanist Thomas Waters, who got his rootstock en-route from the Groot Constantia vineyards in Cape Town, South Africa.
Winning our first International Medal in 1878 at a wine show in Paris France, the Swan Valley is Australia's Premium Wine Region. Enjoy world class wines with the opportunity to taste over 30 premium red, white, fortified and sparkling wines (Champagne), made from many major grape varieties.
Meet the wine makers (when available) as we follow the history of the Swan Valley through the early English settlers, the influence of the Italian and Croatian migrants with hundreds of years experience in producing premium wines in Europe.
A mid-morning visit to a Chocolate Factory and then a luncheon under the vines at the famous Jacaranda Cafe at Houghton Winery. Vineyard platters will be served of cheese, pate, smoked salmon, chicken, roast beef, marinated vegetables, salad, fresh fruit, crackers, crustini and bread rolls.
After lunch we enjoy Houghton Winery and 2 other wineries for more wine tasting, their White Classic (formally White Burgundy), Australia's most celebrated wine, and the first Australian wine to make the wine list of the House of Common's in London, (a bottle will be raffled on each tour).
Then later afternoon, a leisurely drive into the Darling Ranges to the Heritage Rose Gardens. See the trellises of roses, bird baths and a pond of colourful Japanese Koi.
