Overview
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the serene, rolling hills of the Bickley Valley - Western Australia’s best-kept secret, located just over 30 minutes from Perth. Often described as a charming "slice of Europe" tucked away in the Perth Hills, this picturesque region is dotted with lush orchards, rolling vineyards, and boutique cellar doors. Guided by your expert local host, Paul, this private wine tour offers a relaxed, unhurried journey through an off-the-beaten-path wine trail where big tourist buses simply cannot go. Designed for couples, families, and small groups seeking an intimate local experience, this tour focuses on boutique, family-owned producers. With Paul’s WSET-accredited wine knowledge, you’ll discover a fascinating range of alternative varietals - including Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese styles - and meet the passionate winemakers and locals behind the labels. Whether you opt for a relaxed half-day afternoon tasting or upgrade to a full-day experience with a gourmet vineyard platter lunch, Paul ensures a VIP day out filled with exceptional small-batch wines, artisanal tastings, and breathtaking natural scenery. Highlights: 🍷 Alternative Varietals & Boutique Producers: Taste rare small-batch wines and alternative European varietals at family-run cellar doors inaccessible to large tour buses. 🍸 Gin or Craft Cider Experience: Choose between a boutique craft gin distillery tasting or a refreshing artisan cider tasting paddle. 🧺 Gourmet Platter or Cheeseboard: Enjoy a light cheese platter on the afternoon tour, or upgrade to a full seasonal gourmet vineyard platter lunch. 🍎 Meet the Makers & Seasonal Orchard Treats: Connect directly with local vineyard owners and enjoy freshly picked seasonal fruit (in Summer & Autumn). 🚘 Door-to-Door Private Comfort: Travel seamlessly in an air-conditioned private vehicle with custom hotel transfers led by Paul.
