Join us in the Swan Valley for a wine tour that includes a visit to Mandoon Estate – “A small village of makers, doers and delighters, who strive to create perfect days, whatever your idea of perfect is.”
This property located on Harris Road in Caversham, colloquially known as the historical ‘Roe Family Property’, has been in the hands of the Roe family since settlement in the 1840’s by their late forefather, the Swan River Colonies’ First Surveyor General, John Septimus Roe. Now, the land is owned by the Erceg family who purchased it in 2008.
Set within this historic vineyard and old vines, some of which are over 100 years old, Mandoon Estate Winery, was established in the Swan Valley in 2010.
Under the production and guidance of Ryan Sudano, it has rained gold with their wines being awarded Western Australia’s most awarded boutique winery from 2012 to 2017 – 88 trophies and counting!
If you’re after dining with a more casual and family feel, then the Homestead Brewery is for you.
There is a range of beer and cider full of big, bold and balanced flavours.
Their food is just like their brews – Think tapas, burgers, pizzas and hearty main meals, with even breakfast, on the menu.
The Mandoon Estate boasts three restaurants, with the fine dining restaurant being the Wild Swan, with deliciously decadent food and awarded wines.
From a la carte, to an innovative degustation menu combining classic technique with the finest local produce, there is something fine for everyone.
Prefer to dine outdoors?
The grounds of John Septimus Roe’s original homestead at ‘Location L’ are now ‘The Llawn’ – A place where you can sit back, relax and enjoy a shady spot on a sunny afternoon.
With a family-friendly alfresco area with picnic tables, a fully enclosed playground, food and drink available from the garden bar and deli, and live music on the weekends, the Llawn is the place to be!
Love the Swan Valley so much that you want to stay a while?
The Colony (established in 2017) will be your luxe basecamp from which to enjoy all that Mandoon Estate and the Swan Valley region has to offer.
There are a variety of rooms to choose from, with VIP packages including a visit to the underground cellar, historic vineyard, the original Roe Family homestead and more.
There are a range of new things to experience at Mandoon Estate too. From bush tucker tasting, to an art gallery and a river cruise.
To top it all off, Mandoon Estate is one of the Swan Valley’s prime venues for functions, long table events, conferences and weddings.

"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."
