The Swan District wine region, located just north of Perth in Western Australia, is one of the country’s oldest wine-producing areas, with a history dating back to the early 19th century. Known for its warm Mediterranean climate and fertile alluvial soils along the Swan River, the region is particularly suited to robust, fruit-forward wines. It excels in producing rich Shiraz, Verdelho, and Chenin Blanc, often with ripe, generous flavours.

The Swan District is also home to the subregion of Swan Valley, a popular destination for wine tourism, offering historic cellar doors, artisanal food producers, and a laid-back atmosphere. Despite urban encroachment, the region remains a vibrant part of Western Australia’s wine scene, combining tradition with accessibility and charm.
