Yahava KoffeeWorks Swan Valley

There's an awful lot to see and do at a KoffeeWorks but they can offer you a few tips to help you navigate your way around the traps and guarantee you will come away having had the time of your life.

But no time to dawdle, you could join a Koffee Safari or perhaps take a Barista class in the Brewing Academy. Check out the Markets, sample chocolates, but never leave without taking some time out. Grab a seat in the Kafé order a snack and a cup of the most deliciously brewed coffee you have ever savoured, sit back and relax.

Woodbridge at Mandoon on Whadjuk Nyoongar Country

Woodbridge, with its iron lacework, parquetry, polished jarrah, tessellated tile floors and many pieces of original furniture, is a rare surviving example of a grand 19th-century home. The attractive site was originally taken up by the colony’s first Governor, Captain James Stirling. By 1831, he had built a cottage there, a retreat from Government House. The property was purchased in 1883 by Charles Harper, farmer, politician, explorer and part owner of The West Australian newspaper. He proceeded to display his position and wealth by building the current house. In 1896, Harper established Guildford Grammar School in his billiard room and 14 years later, the Anglican Church purchased the entire property - land, building and furniture - for the school. Today the house reflects its role as home to Charles and Fanny Harper, their ten children, the cook, parlourmaid and housemaid – from the kitchen and working areas to the extensive entertaining rooms. Located just 30 minutes east of Perth, Guildford is well worth a day trip to soak up the historic beauty, traditional landscapes and friendly village atmosphere.

Midland Town Hall

The Town Hall is one of Midland's best known buildings. It is an outstanding example of the Federation Free Classical architectural style. Midland Town Hall was officially opened in 1907. However, it wasn't until after World War I that the clock was placed on top of the dome. The clock serves as a memorial to the men who lost their lives during the War. In the 1950s, the Town Hall continued to serve as the Council Chambers and Administration Centre for the Midland Junction Municipal Council until 1970. By the 1960s, the building had become quite dilapidated and after the 1968 Meckering earthquake, came under threat of demolition. Some restoration work was undertaken on the building in the 1970s and 80s, with major work commencing in 1995. The first part of the restored complex, comprising Council Chambers, meeting rooms and offices was officially opened in 1997. The second and final stage of the project was finished and opened in grand style with a Mayoral Ball in April 2000. It is regularly used for the City of Swan's citizenship ceremonies. Midland is located 30 minutes east of Perth. It is the city centre for the nearby Swan Valley wine region and historic town of Guildford.

Swan Valley Distillery Trail

The Swan Valley Distillery Trail is the only one of its kind in Australia where visitors can experience nine distinct and very different award-winning distilleries in less than a day. Distilling has been a tradition in the Swan Valley for close to a century, with grapes distilled into spirit commercially at Valencia in Caversham and at Houghton in Middle Swan from the early 1900s. New arrivals from Europe to the Swan Valley also brought with them the tradition and skill of distilling spirits. Many had home stills, with the distilling of grapes into rakia and grappa part of their way of life. On occasion, a loud explosion would echo across the Valley as one of the stills exploded, sending pots flying through ceilings and families running for cover. Today, distillation in the Swan Valley is a fine art with dedicated distillers handcrafting a wide range of spirits including gin, vodka, brandy, limoncello and rum. This trail will provide you with an insight into the world of the Swan Valley's dedicated distillers who are passionately crafting world-class spirits, both in the traditional style and with cutting-edge innovation. Meet the makers of these spirits. Taste, touch, smell and hear the stories of the botanicals that create unique flavours and at some cellar doors, go behind the scenes to view the distillation process.

Swan Valley Fine Wine Trail

Culturally and historically, the Swan Valley wine region is central to Western Australia's viticulture, story, and lifestyle. Vines were first planted in 1829, with the first commercial vintage following in 1834. Generational and new winemakers embrace both tradition and innovation to craft fine wines that reflect the vineyard and the region. Perfect growing conditions – a warm Mediterranean climate with afternoon sea breezes, well-drained alluvial soils along the Swan River, and shallow ironstone soils at the base of the Escarpment – allow for a diverse range of grape varieties and wine styles. Combined with our rich winemaking heritage, this ensures consistent wine quality, vintage after vintage. Winemakers respect the proven grape varieties – Chenin Blanc, Verdelho, Shiraz, and Grenache – while also experimenting with emerging ones. The Swan Valley is one of the few wine regions in Australia capable of producing a wide range of wine styles: sparkling wines, delicate and refined whites, smooth and generous reds, and luscious liqueur styles. On this fine wine trail, discover wineries that have been awarded trophies at recent wine shows and produce some of the Swan Valley's best and most typical wines

Fortified Wine Trail

Swan Valley Fortified Wine Trail

Australia's second-oldest wine region, the Swan Valley is home to some of the oldest grapevines in Australia – and the world. When grapevines were introduced to the Swan Valley in 1829, many of the varieties planted were likely intended for fortified wine production. Until the mid-1960s, dessert and fortified styles were the most popular wines in Australia, accounting for 85 per cent of all wine produced. The Swan Valley's winemaking heritage and its Mediterranean climate allow for the production of rich, luscious liqueurs made from Muscat and Pedro Ximénez, as well as Shiraz, Verdelho, and aged tawny fortified wines. With warm, dry summers, winemakers have the luxury of allowing the fruit to slightly dry on the vine before harvesting, which increases sugar and intensifies and concentrates flavours. During fermentation, winemakers add brandy spirit at a specific point to halt the process, leaving behind a natural residual sweetness. The grape varieties used to make fortified wines in the Swan Valley include Shiraz, Verdelho, Pedro Ximénez, Grenache, Muscat, and Touriga Nacional. The main styles of fortified wine are Vintage Fortified, Tawny, Liqueur, and Apera. Most Swan Valley wineries produce fortified wines, with some passing down barrel-aged wine, winemaking traditions, and techniques through generations, all contributing to a legacy of fortified wines ranked among the world's finest.
