About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Faywoodland0 contributionsHalf day wine tour of the Swan Valley.After a slightly rocky start with the tour driver taking some wrong turns the rest of the day was magnificent. The wineries were different and the gin distillery was simply incredible. Ending with the chocolate factory it was a great day. Lots of friendly people on the tour from around the world. A happy and very tasty day.Written 12 January 2025
- LizzyMP0 contributionsExcellent wine, company and guide.Fitted so much into half-a-day; 3 wineries, loads of different wines to taste, and amount of information just right. Sue was a very informative and inclusive tour guide with so much experience. Catered for a very diverse group seamlessly. I would highly recommend the experience snd guide.Written 10 January 2025
- s0f8262b0b29c4f13b890 contributionsGood tour, could have been betterThe choice of wineries (Lancaster, Nikola and Twin Hill) and wines was good, and Barry provided a comprehensive history of wine-making in the Swan Valley on the drive over. The post-lunch choices were not great: Sin Gin (would have preferred a brewery) and a visit to Whistler chocolates which felt quite rushed. Our pickup from Crown Casino was at a little after 10 am and we were dropped back there at 4.05 pm, so the tour was about 6 hours long. The tour could be improved by the announcement of a "back-in-coach" time at each stop, instead of a promised "10-minute warning" which we heard only once. Lunch was abruptly cut short and overall it felt quite rushed compared to a previous Swan Valley wine tour as well as wine-tasting tours elsewhere.Written 29 December 2024

- tee8550 contributionsPunctual, our guide was patient and wonderful.Small group of 12. 3 wineries, 1 gin distillery and finished off with a chocolate factory. The hospitalities at all the places were friendly, welcoming and amazing. 1st and 3rd wineries offered cheese/crackers platers, which were delicious and great palate cleanser. Lots of wine and some may surprise you. We were lucky that everyone in our group was lovely. Hats off to our guide for his patience and kindness. Thank you 👌😊Written 17 November 2024
- Odyssey7545790 contributionsRelaxing, friendly and very enjoyable 👍Excellent Afternoon tour, friendly small group. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Visited 3 Swan valley wineries, a Gin Distillery, and a chocolate shop. Tasted some very nice wines accompanied by cheese boards. Highly recommend this tour as it is personable and very enjoyable.Written 11 November 2024
- eugenepenna0 contributionsHalf day Swan ValleyA good tour. However, the bus guide did not engage with the group. Communication was poor. 1 winery was not very good. The presenter of wines didn't seem knowledgeable. Another winery the person poured the wine and left us until the next.Written 9 November 2024

- Kayjay0070 contributionsWine, gin and chocolate!We visited 3 vineyards and sampled several wines at each. They weren’t to my taste but other visitors on our tour enjoyed them. The gin distillery was our favourite by far, closely followed by the chocolate shop!Written 2 September 2024
- annaailinho0 contributionsGood wines, good timesSue, our bus driver, was a legend! Great wineries and cheese boards, good wines and good times. Each winery had a different character and it was quite laid back. Definitely recommend to do it!Written 2 September 2024
- wanderwonder840 contributionsA pleasant way to see the Swan ValleyWe visited 3 very different vineyards and were given a variety of wines to taste. Cheese and biscuits were available at 2 of them, which was very welcome. The grounds of the last vineyard, Nicolas, are beautiful. The gin distillery was our favourite and we tried about 4 different types, followed by an explanation of how the gins were made. A brief stop at the chocolate shop was very enjoyable and there was an amazing array of different chocolates and gifts to purchase.Written 27 August 2024
- tracyewright0 contributionsAbove and beyondWe had a lovely time on the 1/2 day wine tour and our driver Arnold went above and beyond bringing me back my phone after I accidentally left it on the bus, thanks so muchWritten 15 August 2024
- abvwilson0 contributionsWonderful TourThis was a great tour! We had a small group which made the experience even better. Special thanks to our tour guide who was so knowledgable about Perth and the local area as well as the Swan Valley itself. Each winery we visited was unique and were all long term family run businesses which was wonderful. Plenty of wines to taste-I think we tried 6 in one winery, 5 in another and the last one as many as you like (within reason) as there was a self pour machine. This was followed by gin tasting and a visit to a chocolate shop (the chocolate was phenomenal). I would highly recommend this tour!Written 14 June 2024

Fantastic day spent in the Swan Valley with friends celebrating my birthday. Alby made the day stress free and so easy! Loved the itinerary Black Swan created for us adding in a few special stops that were especially designed for our Gin and Foodie loving friends. Highly recommend Black Swan Tours...we will be booking again, it was unanimously decided to be a bi annual event.

Alan was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history and stories of the Swan Valley as well as the wineries and their wines. Even there were only the 2 of us booked for the day and the weather wasn't the best, he was still happy to take us and provided us with our own private tour. He organised a nice range of wineries to visit with a great diversity of wine styles, treated us to a great lunch that was included in the package, and then finished the day off with a visit to the chocolate factory, and dropped us right at our accommodation. An excellent way to spend a day in the Swan with everything taken care of for us.

We celebrated my 40th birthday with a group of friends. From the tailored itinerary to Alan going the extra mile by organising and picking up a cake for dessert, we could not have asked for more. The whole group raved about the good selection of wines, gin and liqueur and we had a blast!

Four wineries, a group lunch, a brewery and chocolate factory. Loads of banters and stories.
Alan the host was very accommodating, also told us lots about the region. It was a 10-people tour hence got the chance to connect with others and listen to their stories.
Wines in Swan Valley are very full-bodied, lots of favours. Got to enjoy at least 20 kinds of wine so will not be having any for a while!
Overall, an unforgettable experience.

Alan is a great host - enough information given on the bus without overload. Choice of vineyards was excellent - highly recommend Faber and could have actually spent longer there (personal preference though because I particularly enjoyed these wines & the wonderfully knowledgeable & friendly chap who talked us through them). Not sure about the banter at Young’s but the gin was delicious. It was good that there was not too much driving between places once we got to the Swan Valley so there was more time to spend at the venues. Thanks for a well-organised day out!

We booked a full day tour last minute. We met at Hillary’s for our pick up. Kate was our host and she made it a great day out. We visited several vineyards, along with a coffee producer, micro-brewery and chocolate producer. The cost for each person was just over 100 AUSD, well worth the price. Thanks Kate for a great day

A boutique and world class wine tour company in the Swan Valley if you want a customised and very personable experience. We were lucky enough to join Alan from Black Swan Tours for a very special Magical Mystery Swan Valley Tour on Australia Day. Alan is very knowledgeable about the history of Guildford, the Swan Valley and vineyards and wines in general, and his excellent winery choices complimented by some well hosted tastings at Old Young's Distillery (a must do) was first class.
Even more special knowing that our tour costs contributed to supporting a wonderful charity, The Starlight Children’s Foundation. Thanks Alan 👍👍 100%

This was a surprise gift to my husband for his birthday and I can say he (and myself) thoroughly enjoyed it. Alan our host was a witty, knowledgeable, friendly, engaging character. He checked in with us a day before to confirm pick up time and address and arrived promptly and was well prepared. Prior to starting the tour he gave us a clear plan on what we were doing and provided us with the tour rules and then we were off.
It was evident that Alan was well respected by the wineries we visited and knew a lot about the area. His choice of the wineries and brewery was superb with each place we visited being prepared for us and treated us like special guests.
If you want to do a wine tour where you feel like a vip, have personalised service and an itinerary that caters to all tastes - rather than a noisy party bus with less discerning choices - this is the tour to book. No only was it exceptional but was also value for money.

We love the Swan Valley, the awesome venues we visit and introducing them to our guests. We're very lucky to have it in our own backyard. Thank you for supporting us all the local businesses along the way. We look forward to seeing you again when the supplies run out! haha

Alan was super friendly and knowledgeable and took us to some great spots in Swan Valley! Places we definitely otherwise would not have found or known about. We (the three of us) were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour and as such Alan was super flexible and accommodating with what we wanted to do and see, and when we wanted to be back. 11/10 experience and will be recommending Black Swan tours to all friends and family who come to visit in Perth!

My partner and I had an excellent day with Alan on his small group tour. As it was only a small group, it felt very relaxed and personalised. Alan took us to a great variety of wineries, and the cheese platter which was included was amazing. Thank you Alan for a great day!
