McRobert Distillery

This premium distillery in Kelmscott crafts exceptional spirits using traditional methods and quality ingredients. With a perfect 5-star rating, McRobert Distillery delivers an outstanding experience for whisky and spirit enthusiasts visiting Western Australia's hills region.

Freestyle Brewing

A premium craft beer brewery in Bassendean serving the Perth area with online ordering available. This highly-rated brewery has earned a perfect 5-star Google rating from customers.

Based in Perth, Australia, this copper distillation equipment manufacturer specializes in custom 4-inch copper stills and components including boilers, pot still bellies, distillation columns, and condensers. They create both standard product lines and custom-made copper stills tailored to individual distilling styles and preferences.

Damaged Goods Distilling Co.

The premise is simple: rescue ingredients the hospitality industry would otherwise bin, distil them into something worth drinking. Damaged Goods partners with food brands to redirect surplus produce — smashed apples become aperitivo, spent citrus becomes gin — at their Swan Valley distillery, where tastings are bookable. Releases are small-batch and seasonal; the Yuzu Gin and Mandarin Gin sell out.

Wicked Kombucha

This O'Connor brewery specializes in wild, organic, raw kombucha made with certified organic ingredients and traditional craft brewing methods. They focus on creating sparkling, effervescent brews that are unpasteurized, unfiltered, and free from additives or preservatives.

Wild Road Spirits

Two brothers started Wild Road Spirits in a Perth garage in 2019, drawing on Australian flavours and a rotating cast of collaborators — illustrators, painters, mixologists — whose work shapes each bottle's label as much as what's inside. The silver medal at the 2020 Australian Gin Awards for Contemporary Gin confirmed the approach was working.

Variations Distillery

Three friends run this small Ravenswood distillery, turning out gin, rose gin, and vodka from a cellar door that opens weekends only. The country setting is deliberate — kitchen food, local beers alongside the house spirits, and a table for two or twenty-two.

Bonnet Distilling Co.

Booragoon's Bonnet Distilling Co. puts out five spirits worth knowing: the Dryspell and SpicyBuoy gins, a Lemon Myrtle Vodka, a straight vodka, and the Make It So. The lemon myrtle expression is the one to seek out — native botanicals in a format that actually makes sense. Award-winning, per their own account, though the gins do the arguing.

A South Perth brewery delivering exceptional craft beer with a perfect 5-star rating from satisfied customers. This local establishment focuses on quality brewing and creating a welcoming atmosphere for beer enthusiasts in the area.

Seabreeze Brewing Co

Bibra Lake's small-batch operation keeps its focus narrow: hop-forward beers, including a new 3.5% mid-strength IPA built on pale malt, caramalt and light crystal, then whirlpool and dry-hopped with Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic. Keg and growler fills available on select days — worth checking their Facebook page before the drive out.

Grumpy Fish Distillery

Two friends, a carter head still and a base spirit from the Swan Valley — that's the origin story. The vapour-through-botanicals method skips macerating entirely, producing a gin that opens with juniper and closes with lavender and geranium. Grumpy Fish started at Paul Conti Wines in Woodvale and moved to a Gnangara unit in 2021. The hearts-only cut keeps yield low and quality honest.

KATGULLY Wines Cellar Door

Three Croatian-born brothers — Kirk, Adam and Tony — named their Swan Valley vineyard after their initials and the watercourse that runs through it. The property dates to the early 1920s, when family from the island of Korčula first planted vines here. Today the cellar door pours Shiraz, Tempranillo, Saparavi and Verdelho alongside the Swan Valley's signature fortifieds.

Bombak Distillery

The Osborne Park land Nick Bombak distils on has been in the family since his Croatian great-grandfather planted market gardens there in 1946. Now in its fourth generation of use, it produces small-batch gin using the one-shot method — botanicals macerated separately, then flame-distilled in a copper pot still. The Flora gin draws on Geraldton Wax and Sweet Peppermint leaf; the Pickle gin uses WA-grown dill cucumbers and habanero spice.

Matilda Bay Brewing Co Building

Australia's first craft brewery since World War II, housed in the historic former Ford Motor Company building on Stirling Highway. Known for pioneering beers like Redback wheat beer and their original Anchor Ale, this landmark brewery helped launch the craft beer movement in Australia.

A premium vodka distillery in Osborne Park producing high-quality spirits with exceptional attention to detail. This highly-rated operation has earned a perfect 5-star Google rating from customers who appreciate their craftsmanship and dedication to excellence.

Hippie Brewing Co

Western Australia's first kombucha brewery, operating since 1995. The founder still oversees every weekly batch of pét-nat kombucha — naturally fermented, vegan, with up to 82% of bottles returned and reused. Core flavours run to mango, cranberry rose, and dragon fruit, available in 300ml and 750ml formats for home delivery or wholesale.

Garbin Estate Wines

Duje and Matija Garbin planted their first vines in the Swan Valley in 1956. Three generations on, son Peter makes the wine while wife Katrina and sons Joel and Adam run the operation. The Gold Leaf NV Sparkling Chardonnay is the calling card; book a cheese platter ahead if you want something to eat.

AmberChes Spirits Distillery

This family-owned distillery in the heart of Swan Valley crafts award-winning gins, vodkas, and liqueurs using locally sourced botanicals and traditional methods. Visitors can enjoy tastings, hands-on gin making classes, and food and drink experiences among the vines, open Friday to Monday.

Head distiller Hilton is known for his engineering expertise and "mad professor" approach, creating spirits that have earned recognition including Spirit of the Year from the WA Good Food Guide.

Tyler's Vineyard

Century-old Grenache vines, planted when the Swan Valley was first being established as wine country, are the whole story here. Donelle and Colin Tyler pour from those same roots today — unirrigated for most of their life, which concentrates everything. The 2025 release includes a Sparkling Grenache, Pearl and Rosé. Visitors can also design a custom label on-site.

A highly-rated brewery in Yangebup with an impressive 4.9/5 Google rating. This local establishment has built a strong reputation among beer enthusiasts in the southern Perth suburbs.

They offer the popular Seven Deadly Sins range alongside distillery experiences where visitors can taste gins, enjoy cocktails, or create their own custom gin.

WA's #1 microbrewer crafts fresh beer in cans, offering distinctive brews like Galactic Exposure New World Pale and Dark Rift Black IPA. The brewery opens to visitors on the first Saturday of every month from 12pm-4pm, maintaining an impressive 4.9/5 rating.

A highly-rated winery in Orange Grove, WA, earning an exceptional 4.9/5 stars from visitors. This local establishment offers wine tastings and experiences in Washington's wine country.

Lion Mill Vineyards

The land here was logged bare in the 1880s to lay sleepers for the Eastern Railway. Lion Timber Yards — the Adelaide firm that gave this place its name — moved in by 1890, felling jarrah for the gold rush colony. The winery comes later in the story, growing and hand-picking its fruit on the same Sawyers Valley ground.

Whipper Snapper Distillery

Perth's craft distillery producing American-style whiskey and moonshine in the heart of the city. Whipper Snapper is known for its approachable, column-distilled spirits and a lively bar in the Roe Street Precinct, where visitors can enjoy cocktails and tours of the compact urban distillery.

BarToursBottle Shop

Carmel Cider Co.

A third-generation family orchard in Carmel's Perth Hills producing premium Methode Traditionnelle ciders from estate-grown apples and pears. Known for their award-winning handcrafted ciders and seasonal festivals including their popular Viking-themed Winter Wassailing celebration.

Union Road, Carmel — that's specific enough. This Bickley Valley vineyard opens its cellar door Friday through Sunday, 11am to 5pm, which suits the unhurried pace of the Perth Hills. Tastings, events, and direct wine sales on-site. The kind of place that rewards the drive up from the city.

Al and John have been brewing since before Dingo existed — nine years in the industry before founding this Midvale microbrewery in 2018. The pitch is simple: traditional beer styles, no additives or preservatives, priced to drink regularly rather than occasionally. Pick up from Farrall Road Tuesday through Saturday.

Lion Japanese Sake / Sake World

Sandra — eldest daughter of Lion Oriental Foods, the family business that first brought Japanese sake to Perth — runs Sake World as both shop and advocacy project. The Northbridge operation imports direct from Japan, stocking everything from junmai to fruit liqueurs, with Sandra translating label classifications for a market still finding its footing with rice brew.

All Malt Brewing

Andy Scothern brews on upcycled dairy equipment at this Mandurah taproom, running on solar power and water recycling. The Irish Red Ale is the house favourite among staff. Come for a pint; there's usually someone from the small team around to explain what's in the glass.

Swan River Distillery

Located on Albany Highway in Victoria Park, this craft distillery specializes in unique Australian spirits including their signature rum aged in red wine barrels, yuzu vodka, and native botanical gins. Visitors can shop premium spirits on-site or book distillery experiences to explore their award-winning collection.

Open Friday-Sunday, they offer full bar service, fresh pizza, cocktails featuring their handcrafted gins and vodka, plus tasting experiences at their Clarkson operations.

Little Things Distilling Co

Subiaco distillery building a gin range around Australian native botanicals — finger lime, strawberry gum, blood orange. The core Australian Botanical Gin sits alongside limited seasonal releases (a Tempranillo winter drop, yuzu vodka, limoncello) and weekly bottomless cocktail Saturdays. It's a focused operation with a clear point of view: the continent's flora as flavour system.

Limestone Coast Brewing

Located in Malaga, this brewery has mastered "the art and science of liquid refreshment" with a focus on creating deep, rich flavors in their beers, ciders, seltzers and more. Their tap room offers fresh pints poured directly from tanks, tasting paddles, and keg fills, with knowledgeable staff guiding visitors through their exceptional range that consistently earns 5-star reviews.

Fremantle Spirit Company

Malmalling Vineyard

Kit Chambers has made wine at this family property in Parkerville since 2000, hand-picking and crushing grapes on-site for Verdelho, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The cellar door opens Friday to Sunday; the French-inspired restaurant serves share plates and platters designed to sit alongside the wines, with seating indoors, alfresco, or beneath the trees on the edge of John Forrest National Park.

Twin Hill Wines

The Kraljevich family has been making wine in the Swan Valley since 1937. Their cellar door in Baskerville pours that history straight — old timber, slow pace, tastings of wine, house olives and cheese for $8 a head. Open Tuesday to Sunday. Groups of eight or more, call ahead.

Olive Farm Wines

A family-owned Swan Valley winery operating since 1933, now in its fourth generation of winemaking. This established Millendon producer has earned a strong 4.7/5 Google rating from visitors.

Old Young's Distillery

James Young started Old Young's in Swan Valley in 2016 with a philosophy that included — genuinely — "embrace silly and get dirty." The spirits take themselves more seriously: the Six Seasons Gin pays tribute to the Noongar people's seasonal calendar, while Old B.A.G., a barrel-aged gin matured in Tronçais oak, ran to just 360 bottles. Tastings, masterclasses and an on-site kitchen round it out.

Darlington Estate

This premium wedding venue in Darlington, WA features an award-winning restaurant and café. With a 4.7/5 Google rating, Darlington Estate specializes in weddings, functions, and fine dining experiences.

Lawnbrook Estate

Bickley's Lawnbrook runs a compact cellar door and weekend restaurant out of its vineyard, open Saturday and Sunday only. The wine list spans Vermentino, Tempranillo, a Pinot Noir Chardonnay sparkling and a 2019 vintage at that — alongside house gins (floral, citrus, a limited dry) and a coffee liqueur. Bookings essential for the restaurant; walk-ins welcome at the cellar door for groups under eight.

The name is Basque for a private eating club — a clue that food matters here as much as the beer. Txoko brews on-site in Baskerville and pairs its taps with a kitchen and pizza programme running Thursday through Saturday evenings. Sunday and Monday bring shorter afternoon sessions. Table bookings taken; functions catered by arrangement.

Four friends — Will Irving, Scott Player, James Pedlow and Steve Finney — opened this brewery in Byford in May 2023. The beers lean hop-driven or malt-forward depending on the pour. A second venue followed in Subiaco in late 2024, then canned releases in early 2025. Still young, but moving fast, and the suburban location hasn't slowed the ambition.

Republic of Fremantle Distillery

Fremantle's Republic of Fremantle Distillery builds its spirits from the ground up — literally. Locally grown Verdelho grapes go through custom-built Müller copper column stills (36 filtration plates, two columns) to produce a grape-based spirit that becomes the foundation for both their vodka, bottled at 42% ABV, and two gins. No grain shortcuts; the entire chain runs grape to glass.

Beelu Forest Distilling Co

Beside Lake Nenia in the Perth Hills, engineer-turned-distiller Nenad Djurdjevic produces what's claimed as Australia's first organic Saprock Shochu, alongside gin, vodka, limoncello, and a coffee liqueur. The name Beelu comes from the Noongar word for river — the same people who are traditional custodians of this land.

Swan Street Vineyard

Built in 1968 from hand-cut tuart posts and jarrah beams, the Old Shed spent decades as a grape drying shed before becoming a private function venue. The pegs that held the drying racks are still in the beams. Centrepiece is a solid jarrah table, ten metres long, seating forty. Open weekends only.

Windy Creek Estate

Ante Cobanov bought this Swan Valley block in 1937 after thirteen years cutting railway sleepers in the southwest. Three generations later, Tony Cobanov runs the cellar door with his wife Ruth, pouring dry whites, late harvests, fortifieds, and sticky Frontignac against a backdrop of the Darling Scarp. Borrello cheese comes free with tastings. Dogs welcome, BYO not.

Thorny Devil Brewery

Peter McAppion's frustration with hollow, head-heavy beers led him to build Thorny Devil from scratch, using rainwater and German techniques on custom home-made equipment. The range swings wide — Kakadu Plum Sour, Choc-Maple Oak Aged Imperial Stout, Wild Lime Gose — with native Australian ingredients doing real work rather than mere novelty.

Ugly Duckling Wines

Naked Apple Cider House

Six-point-four hectares of gardens and native bushland off Brookton Highway, with cider, a restaurant, a deck, a courtyard, and enough lawn to actually nap on. The adventure playground means kids disappear; the dog comes too. It's the Perth Hills day-trip that quietly turns into a full afternoon.

Roleystone Brewing Co

Adam Casotti is a third-generation orchardist — his family runs Raeburn Orchards in the Perth Hills. That lineage is the whole point here: he and Ross Catalano started making cider because the apple surplus demanded it. The fruit is sourced entirely from local Perth Hills orchards, pressed into natural cider with no detours. Straightforward provenance, no embellishment needed.

Award-winning brewery in Maylands known for their acclaimed Oat Cream NEIPA, which won Beer of the Year 2024 from the WA Good Food Guide. Features a brewpub alongside their core range including Juicy Pale Ale and seasonal releases.

Labels carry commissioned paintings by Alawa/Mara artist Robyn, whose family line includes celebrated Northern Territory painter Barney Ellaga. Tastings run with cheese platters or market vendor food, weekends only.

Blasta Gastrobrewery

The name is Scottish Gaelic for "delicious" — a commitment Blasta has held since its founding dream locked in after a 2015 Christmas gift and a European beer tour. The Burswood beerhall pours award-winning house beers alongside a full gastropub menu. Big room, serious brewing credentials, and a production brewery in High Wycombe behind it all.

Pinelli Estate - The Cellar Door

Domenic and Iolanda Pinelli left Molise in the 1950s and eventually settled on what Domenic still calls "the pick of the vineyards" — a seven-acre block in Caversham. Their sons Robert and Daniel now run the cellar door, pouring from a range that reaches 150,000 litres annually. Swan Valley whites tend soft and early-drinking; the reds run full.

Calamity's Rod Fremantle

Carved out of a car park beside the Hougoumont Hotel, this shipping-container nano-brewery takes its name from a line in a poem John Boyle O'Reilly wrote aboard the last convict ship to Australia in 1868.

Edgecombe Winery

Vineyard lunches beneath draping vines, weekend breakfast from smashed avo to honey granola, and a cellar door pouring estate whites, reds and fortifieds — Edgecombe runs at a slower pace than most Swan Valley stops.

Swan Valley Brewery

Full mash-in, no extracts, no filtration — just time. Swan Valley Brewery keeps its focus narrow: Irish and English-style ales brewed with malt, hops, and yeast, nothing else. The beer settles naturally before kegging or bottling. It's a deliberately old-fashioned approach, and in the Swan Valley, that counts for something.

Gage Roads Freo Brewery

This Fremantle waterfront brewery serves fresh craft beer and local bites in a relaxed, no-bookings-needed atmosphere. Known for their award-winning Single Fin beer that ranked #3 nationally in GABS Hottest 100, they offer regular events including live music, weekend BBQ sessions, and DJ sets with harbor sunset views.

Roses planted at each row end still serve as the vineyard's early-warning system for mildew.

Hainault @ Carmel - Restaurant and Cellar Door

The Perth Hills winery has relocated to Carmel, where its cellar door pours estate wines alongside shareable platters on a forested hillside. A restaurant is incoming.

Now there's a dedicated brewery, award-winning brewer Steve Wearing manipulating yeast logs batch by batch, and apples sourced from the Perth Hills and Manjimup.
