A speed grazing tour o the Swan Valley is an easy way to get out of Perth and see the surrounding regions, while enjoying great food and drink. I can't believe that Loris managed to fit so many activities into just a half day! More

My husband and I did a speedgrazing tour on Saturday morning and we both loved it! Over the course of a morning (or afternoon, depending on your preference) you will be driven around the Swan Valley in a mini-bus, visiting around 9 different venues. Loris, the tourguide, is a lovely lady who will tell you all about the area. The... More

The tour bus pick us up on time in Wellington St and we had excellent commentary on the way to the Swan Valley. Even though I have lived in Perth all my life I was still surprised to hear things about our helstoric Guilford I did not know. On arrival at all the establishments they were ready for us and...

We did a Saturday afternoon tour and were picked up in Perth city, every place we visited on the www.tastebudtours.com.au trip was well worth the visit. We tasted coffee, chocolate, honey, nougat, wine and cheese, beer and even scones! It was nice to be able to order ahead and have a light meal (if you wanted to) at your expense... More

Thank goodness we didn't try to visit this region on our own. The Swan Valley area is huge and we would have wasted so much time and missed so much just relying on a map. Loris, the friendly owner/guide was so informative and interesting, took all the stress out of the day by driving our small group around to an... More

This is an excellent tour - better than just wine tasting on it's own. We were staying in the Swan Valley area and there is a pick up point at the South end of the valley and also they pick up from a number of hotels in the centre of Perth. The small group of max 14 makes it really... More

Taking advantage of a Living Social deal, my friend and I found ourselves aboard a mini-bus with Loris and in food lover’s heaven. Discovery was a big theme on the day and while Loris took us through the history of the Swan Valley and it’s settlement, we found ourselves indulging in local delicacies such as coffee, lavender scones, fresh honey,...

Thanks for your encouraging review. I tend to agree with your comments about the morning tour being quite "sweet", as guests have commented the afternoon tour is more "savoury" with an extensive range of cheeses - soft and blue - as well as marinated olives, and of course wood fired pizzas at the brewery. Looking forward to you checking out... More

This is one the best tours I have been on in the Swan Valley, and I have been on many. Breaking it up with tasting of the beautiful local produce and the tasting of not only wines and beers, but also other liquids like the honey drink was a great experience. Would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you very much... More
