Swan Valley Cider and Ale Trail

It might be the oldest wine producing region in Western Australia, but there is certainly nothing old-fashioned about the Swan Valley. In step with the trendy craft beer movement, the Swan Valley is home to nine fantastic breweries and cideries producing contemporary and creative beers and cider.

A day of touring the Swan Valley can be thirsty work - and while wine is aplenty, sometimes the palate calls for something more, like a thirst-quenching, chilled beer or cider.

Luckily for you, there is no shortage in the Swan Valley. Behold an impressive variety of brews: lagers, pilsners, ales, wheat beers, stouts and more, as well as ciders and ginger beer; all handcrafted using traditional techniques, state-of-the-art equipment - and only the best produce.

Whether you’re after a relaxing Sunday session in the outdoors, an afternoon in a rustic pub, a German beer hall experience - or a gorgeous vineyard setting, there is something to suit every taste.

Perhaps the best thing about the Swan Valley is its people. Friendly, warm and welcoming, the Swan Valley’s brewers can’t wait to meet new visitors, tell their stories and share their passions and expertise.
