Winery Tour & Tasting at Upper Reach Winery, Swan Valley

Situated in the fertile Swan Valley region of Western Australia, Upper Reach Winery offers a hands-on journey into the world of boutique winemaking. This award-winning small cellar door, located at 77 Memorial Avenue in Baskerville, invites visitors to engage with every step in the crafting of its vibrant, estate-grown wines. More than just a tasting, the one-hour Winery Tour and Tasting experience reveals what it takes to nurture grapes in this unique terroir and transform them into flavourful expressions of the land.

The Swan Valley is renowned for its warm Mediterranean climate and diverse soils, offering ideal conditions for Shiraz, Verdelho, and dessert wines that burst with character. At Upper Reach, guests walk the vineyard rows alongside the expert grower and winemaker, who oversees the entire process from vine to bottle. Participants get privileged access to sample wines straight from the tanks and barrels before bottling, an insider’s peek rarely open to the public.

The winery itself operates as a working space, its rustic cellar section often cool and damp — conditions perfect for craft and maturation but requiring sturdy footwear. The tour concludes in the cosy cellar door, where award-winning dessert wines are paired with local artisanal treats such as honey, truffles, and jams. It’s a genuine, grounded experience that pulls back the curtain on small-scale viticulture in Australia’s oldest wine region.

Upper Reach Winery stands out in the Swan Valley scene by its deep connection to place and the personal investment of its owner, who marries grower knowledge with winemaker skill. This commitment delivers wines that reflect both vintage complexity and the essence of their vineyard home, making it a must-visit destination for wine lovers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking authentic connection with place and process.
