    We will be back!

    The wine tasting at Upper Reach was so informative and generous! We got to taste 5 wines each and discuss the structure and notes of the wines. Spent the afternoon outdoors sharing the most succulent tiger prawn pizza we've ever had, complimented by Rose and a refreshing pilsner on tap. The service and quality of produce were both memorable and will draw us back to Upper Reach. Our next visit will be for one of their scheduled concerts. Can't wait!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for wonderful review Libby. We love sharing our knowledge of our Upper Reach wines and want you to feel relaxed and comfortable. I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed your pizza at The TreeHouse Pizza Bar along with the Rose and Pilsner. We look forward to seeing you at one of our Twilight Concerts.

    Wine tasting and lunch

    Thank you to all the staff they were very helpful. The wine tasting was specific to the needs of our group and was very interesting. The food was excellent. Would certainly go back just for the Crab Risotto.

    Perfect service and quality food.

    My friend made a booking for today and on arrival were told that our booking was on standby. We were then told that the kitchen staff were overloaded with orders, so this meant that we were most likely not able to dine in. We were given the option to venture down to the pizza section where we could have wines and cheeseboards etc I was starving and smelling the delicious food coming from the kitchen was torture. I felt brave enough to ask the waitress if we could dine in, and we’re happy to wait for the food She was so lovely and arranged a table for us. we ordered some wine and a three course meal. To our surprise, the food came out rather quickly. Oh my goodness! The food was divine. I had the grilled king fish with with salad and a dab of caviar. My friend had the tiger prawns Prior to this, the entrees did not disappoint. My scallops were the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked to perfection. My friend was delighted with the goat cheese and Spanish sausages. The deserts were exquisite. I gobbled at mine and was tempted to lick the bowl. It was a crème brûlée with raspberries. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. It was $75 for the set menu, and it was worth it. I’m going to take my family there very soon. Honestly, this is one of the best places for dining in the whole of Western Australia. The service was spot on, friendly and consistent. I will be definitely returning for some more delicious food.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I'm delighted that you found the food delicious. The Restaurant strives to use the freshest local ingredients. We look forward to your next visit with your family.

    Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.

    How much does Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.

    Is Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Perth?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Perth?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Perth?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour?

    +

    Included: GST (Goods and Services Tax); Alcoholic beverages; Tour escort/host; Wine tasting; and Local taxes. Not included: Lunch; and Transportation to/from attractions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour?

    +

    Meeting point- cellar door at Upper Reach Winery Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Upper Reach Winery: Swan Valley Winery and Vineyard Tour?

    +

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
