Food and wine

Mix fresh produce, premium local wines and fabulous chefs and you're looking at a cuisine scene that is a real treat, with dining al fresco a way of life thanks to Perth's consistent Mediterranean climate.

Chefs can call on special produce from local suppliers of the freshest seafood, fine meat, cheeses, fruit and vegetables, to fashion food of exceptional quality.

To indulge your passion for food and wine you won't have to travel far in this region to discover wine-tasting venues and an excellent selection of top-quality restaurants. In fact the Swan Valley, WA's oldest wine growing region is located right on the city's doorstep, a mere 25 minutes away.

Further inland in the Perth Hills, you'll find a new emerging wine scene nestled amongst the Hill's spectacular scenery. South of Perth in the Peel Region, you'll discover more than 20 vineyards, many of which welcome visitors to taste their vintages.

There's also the Chittering Valley Wine Trail to explore north of Perth, along with the nearby area around Gingin where the fertile plains nurture a whole host of produce, ranging from wines, olives and citrus fruits to lamb, beef and honey.
