Join us in the Swan Valley for a tour that includes a visit to one of Western Australia’s oldest and largest privately owned wineries. Taste award-winning Sandalford wines as you witness this spectacular winery in operation, as the winemaking process journeys from vineyard to bottle.
Sandalford has earned their excellent reputation, having made wines for over 150 years. Founded in 1840, the business returned to family ownership in the early 1990s, run by Deborah and Peter Prendiville. Although maintaining traditional principles, the couple has done much to make the winery more contemporary. Due to this modernisation, Sandalford can now hold almost 1 million litres of wine in French and American oak barrels, held in some 600 m² of underground storage. Two vineyards supply the grapes for their wines; one in the Wilyabrup region in Margaret River and the other in the Swan Valley.
Sandalford produces five ranges of wine. The popular Element and Winemaker’s range are their entry point wines. Following this range is the Margaret River range (in the mid-tier price bracket). The Margaret River range uses only declassified fruit originally intended for the Estate Reserve and super premium Prendiville Reserve collections, which sit at the peak of the Sandalford portfolio.
Your visit to Sandalford Estate is destined to be an enjoyable experience, definitely one to remember. Quoted as being “unquestionably W.A.’s leading ‘Wine tourism’ facility”, it boasts multiple awards for wine tourism. This impressive estate houses function rooms, alfresco dining, expansive gardens, the renowned Cellar Door (shop) and more.
If you like Australian wine, you’re going to love visiting Sandalford’s Swan Valley Cellar Door. The Cellar Door has everything wine related that you could think of! There are fantastic gift ideas, from glassware, bottle openers, artwork and of course, the complete range of Sandalford wines are for sale. Choose from the range of Estate Reserve, the highly popular Element Wines and Margaret River Wines, the ultra-premium Prendiville Cabernet Sauvignon, Botrytis Sémillon, or one of the ports or fortified wines.
Bonus: all travellers with Top Gun Tours receive 20% off any purchase (merchandise or wines) in the Cellar Door!
Our modern and luxuriously comfortable tour bus will drive you to Sandalford Estate Winery in Caversham, which is in the heart of the Swan Valley.

Sandalford Estate in Caversham
"Many thanks for being a perfect host to us on Saturday, we had so much fun! We all enjoyed the venues, food, wine and sweet treats at the end. I would (and I will) recommend your business to my friends and colleagues, you have a great energy and a good sense of humour."
"Matt is a true gentleman. He works hard to make his tours the best. You're looked after 100% and feel very relaxed from start to finish! If you love boutique beers and a great friendly hospitality Top Gun Tours won't disappoint :-) thank you"
"I just wanted to say thanks for doing everything possible to give us a great experience during our beer tour on 30th Dec. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would like to commend you on your service and professionalism. You made the brewery tour one to remember, we won't hesitate in recommending you to our friends and we'll definitely book another tour with you sometime in the future."
"Thanks for the awesome brewery tour Matt! Everything went so well and it was great to just relax and know that the day was in good hands. Thanks so much, everyone had a ball!!"
"Awesome tour once again (my 3rd time now, it's that good). Matt is a legend, can't speak highly enough of him (even though he wore his Hawthorn jersey all day after the grand final). If you're looking for a fun day out, get onto the liquid gold brewery tour. Looking forward to the next trip with Top Gun in the future!"
"This tour really was 'Top Gun'. Premier venues, tastings, lunch and coach travel with added fizz from Matt. We have been on wine trips around the world - California, France and Spain in particular - and this trip was up there with the very best. Close to Perth, short distance between wineries so more tastings and less travel time. Would recommend a visit to the Swan Valley. Many thanks again Matt for a fantastic day."
