The Perth Hills has a cider and wine trail, you ask? It absolutely does! And it’s a little bit of a local secret – which is exactly what makes it such an amazing day out. Aside from the stunning views of endless vineyards and orchards around every corner, the boutique wineries in this region offer a more intimate experience where you will often find the winemaker or owner pouring your tastings.
On our popular Cider, Wine and Whiskey Tour discover the hidden gem that is the beautiful Bickley Valley, where you will indulge in premium boutique wines, delicious local food, refreshing craft cider and get ‘up close’ with an inside look at Perth’s own urban Whiskey distillery.
You are guaranteed to taste some amazing wines and local produce - but this tour is about much more than that. It’s about getting to know the locals, hearing their stories and seeing firsthand why each of these craft producers is so unique.
We start the day with a tasting paddle of five signature ciders at a craft cider house while enjoying views over the apple orchards; we then visit two fantastic wineries for extensive wine tastings (sampling some rare read more...

You are guaranteed to taste some amazing wines and local produce - but this tour is about much more than that. It’s about getting to know the locals, hearing their stories and seeing firsthand why each of these craft producers is so unique.
We start the day with a tasting paddle of five signature ciders at a craft cider house while enjoying views over the apple orchards; we then visit two fantastic wineries for extensive wine tastings (sampling some rare and hard-to-find varietals), explore like one of the locals with a walk through the vineyard and orchard, where you are invited to taste the most delicious seasonal fruit straight off the trees – making this a real farm to glass experience.
This is all thirsty work, so after some wine tastings, relax with a gourmet platter lunch with a selection of cheeses, meats, antipasto and some Italian specialties in a fabulous boutique winery setting - again with those amazing views!
And how do we round out the day? We head to Perth's only urban Whiskey distillery for a private behind scenes tour
inside the distillery to see how it’s made – then finish with some Whiskey and Moonshine tastings, of course.
Our tours are guaranteed to be a maximum of 12 people, so that you get a personalised and memorable experience.
More about the Bickley Valley
This is a beautiful region to visit at all times of the year - with beautiful blossoms in spring, an array of colour in Autumn, lush green orchards and loads of fresh fruit in Summer, and dramatic landscapes and cosy fireplaces in winter. You can also purchase freshly picked, locally grown seasonal fruit to take with you.
Most of the products you will taste are not available in shops or restaurants, making this a unique wine tasting and cellar door experience for both visitors and locals.
