Enjoyable Swan Valley wine and chocolate experience

Very good tour! Well-organised right from coach pick-up to cruise drop-off. Sandalford was the highlight of the wineries (Jamie was brilliant!). Plenty of tastings at all three wineries. Also loved the stop at The Margaret River Chocolate Company. Delicious lunch (burger) at Mandoon Winery. Get in first for the cheese on the cruise back - not replenished and hogs took too much! There is no commentary on the cruise which was a little disappointing. However, really good value and well worth doing. Recommended.

Operator response

Thanks for your detailed feedback, we appreciate it. Sounds like you overall had a great day in the Swan Valley!

Work Christmas Party

We used Swan Valley Tours for our staff Christmas party this year, and it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Thanks to Adele, the whole day ran smoothly, with everything organized perfectly. From the coach pickup at our office to the beautiful winery lunch and the cruise back to the city. Our driver John was friendly and professional which made the journey fun and engaging. The atmosphere on board the cruise was relaxed and festive, and our team loved every moment. Lunch at Sitella was delicious, with great tasting food and amazing cocktail choices. The return river cruise was a highlight with stunning views, great music, and the perfect way to wind down after a big year. The logistics were handled flawlessly, which made my job organizing the event so much easier. Everyone on the team commented on how much they enjoyed the day, and it definitely set the bar high for future Christmas parties. Highly recommend Swan Valley Tours for corporate events, group outings, and anyone wanting a stress-free, memorable experience in the Swan Valley!

Operator response

What can we say, this is just such amazing feedback, thank you so much. We will be sure to pass on your feedback to Adele as well, thank you again!
