The Swan Valley is a region of land about 25-minutes east of the centre of Perth that is famous for its mix of wineries, farmland, natural bush, historical buildings, scenic rivers and the promise of an unforgettable day out.

It also holds the enviable reputation as being Western Australia’s oldest wine growing region as well as the closest wine region to any city in the world.

The town of Guildford, a short 12 km from the centre of Perth as you head towards the hills, is the gateway to the valley and well worth a visit if you have time on your journey.

Mark Twain once said that everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. I, for one, must disagree.

The organisers of Spring in the Valley, Perth are doing something about it: a month-long celebration of food, wine, beer, art, craft, music and activities. A veritable feast just as the warmth of spring takes hold of Perth.

The 21^st anniversary of Spring in the Valley, one of the largest festivals of its kind in Australia, will this year take place in the Swan Valley, Perth region throughout the entire month of October.
