Valentine’s Day. A day of romance and wooing. A day when traditionally cards were sent to profess love and admiration and signed, ‘your secret admirer’. But it may surprise you to learn that one of the theories of the origin of this loved-up day is actually quite the opposite… It was a Christian day of celebration of the decapitation of martyrs!
Thankfully today Valentine’s Day represents nothing like that, there is no head- chopping but is instead a day for spoiling your loved one and rekindling your love by doing something special together.
One way you can do this is to enjoy a sumptuous lunch or dinner, while gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes across the table, at one of the many Swan Valley wineries and restaurants. Here’s a few to get you in the mood:
Wine and dine your loved one in this tranquil setting overlooking the vineyards while being serenaded live by the talented duo, Kemistry Sounds.
Sittella is putting on a 4-course dinner including a glass of Sittella Sparkling Chenin Brut for $91.50 per person or a 2-course romantic lunch for $47.50 each.
Treat yourself and your Valentine to a delicious dinner at this modern, award-winning boutique winery. Dinner will be served in their celebrated Wild Swan restaurant from 6pm – $95 per person or $135 with each course accompanied by limited release and museum wines.
Why not enhance the experience while you are there by exploring their art gallery and underground wine cellar too?
Indulge in a selection of Sandalford’s multi-award-winning cuisine and wines with a romantic lunch or dinner in the beautiful setting of rustic limestone and wood set amongst the 125-year old vines.
Make this Valentine’s day a memorable one – you won’t regret it.
Beer more your style? This iconic Swan Valley restaurant serves authentic German food accompanied by a selection of their award-winning beer brewed on the premises in what is the largest glass micro-brewery in the southern hemisphere.
Celebrate your love with lunch or dinner amidst the pristine park grounds while listening to the sweet tones of Ben Merito.
Not sure which winery or brewery to choose? Concerned about drink –driving? With a Swan Valley wine tour, not only is the choice made for you and you get to go to several, you will even get to visit the chocolate factory for a sweet ending to the day and be driven around in air-conditioned comfort. You can’t get much better than that.
Our wine tours run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and Valentine’s day is on a Thursday this year. How perfect is that? So, take the day off and book your day of love and indulgence now.
Single? Forget your relationship status and get a group of single friends together and organise a Swan Valley Wine Tour – it’s only 25 minutes from Perth – so why wouldn’t you?

"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."
