- Z442SUerino0 contributionsFabulous!So fabulous! Paul is fantastic guide, his knowledge is vast and his passion for Perth and the Swan Valley region shines through. A small group tour is such a great way to enjoy the Swan Valley and meet other visitors, understand the history of the area, to learn about the variety of wines, hear about the wine making process and to meet some of the winemakers. Thank you so much for a great afternoon!Written 9 February 2025
- Pamstro0 contributionsA great day out for a groupA great day out, from the moment Paul picked us up you were made to feel welcome and every destination we went to Paul filled us in with the background story to the venues beginnings and history. The food was excellent and covered all types of American BBQ food. The tour was very inclusive and input from the owners of each venue made the tour very personal. If I can offer one bit of advice-- don't eat before the tour-----Well done Paul. Ron & Pam FullerWritten 3 February 2025
- dannytpn0 contributionsGetting Up Close with Swan Valley's FinestHad an amazing day exploring Swan Valley's wineries! Shannon, our guide, was an absolute gem - friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome. She happily answered all our questions and kept the mood light and fun throughout. We visited 4 fantastic vineyards, and the wines were so good that I couldn't resist buying a fortified wine bottle (I wasn't planning to, but no regrets!). Despite the hot summer weather, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. The modern, air-conditioned van was a comfortable retreat between stops, with storage space in the back to store our wine purchases. Really appreciated the small group size - we never felt rushed and could take our time at each stop. The whole experience was well-organized and relaxed. Thanks to Shannon's excellent guidance and the perfect itinerary, this tour is definitely worth recommending to anyone looking to explore Swan Valley's wine scene!Written 30 January 2025
- Daydream034363433710 contributionsPerth Hills “Hidden Gem”Fantastic day. Perth Hills winery’s, Gin and Cider trip was a fabulous way to explore the area. A real hidden gem, highly recommendWritten 26 January 2025
- JohnWIre0 contributionsJust a great day out.A big thank you to Shannon for her help with the booking and to Paul for a great trip. I have done a number of wine tours in Perth over the years and this was definitely the best. If you get a chance, go for it, you will not be disappointedWritten 26 January 2025
- 963heathc0 contributionsLovely way to spend a dayOur tour was conducted by Shannon and we loved every minute of it. From pick up to drop off it was seamless. Each winery had different qualities and we enjoyed each of them. I particularly like chardonnay which wasn't on tasting at all of them, but Shannon made sure I got to taste them anyway. She was also kind enough to send us a very detailed text that night to recommend restaurants, coffee shops and bars that we had asked about during the day. Nothing was too much trouble. We never felt rushed. She said several times that as long as we got to the last vineyard before they closed everything was alright. Can't recommend it highly enough.Written 20 January 2025
- danist19750 contributionsGreat Day OutMy sister and I had a fabulous day out on the wine tasting tour. Paul was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We visited some great wineries and tasted some excellent wine. Thank you very muchWritten 16 January 2025

Shannon was a fantastic tour guide - very well informed about the region , the wine , cider and local produce , as well as being very easy to talk to and had a great sense of humour .
The van we were transported in was ultra modern and felt luxurious .
As this was a small group tour it felt like a private tour and the itinerary that had been chosen was amazing - no big tour busses ! Shannon appeared to have a close professional relationship with the staff at each venue , which added value to our tour.
I highly recommend a tour with Shannon and we will definitely repeat the experience on one of their other tours .

Continuing our annual tradition, we had another awesome day at the Bickley Harvest Festival of 2024. Paul from Up Close and Local Tours drove us with his customary excellence for sumptuous wine tastings at Plume, Fairbrossen, Myattsfield, a great lunch at Mason Mill, and more yummy tastings from Brookside at the Chalet Rigi. We also sampled some tasty French bread and Pate at Plume. Then we finished our day with guitar, singing and drinking back home. It’s so awesome to enjoy fun times with such good friends and as always to feel so grateful for the amazing area we live in here in the Perth Hills. Special thanks to all who made the event happen and for the hard work of all these producers who do such a fantastic job. Special thanks to Paul Montague for always being awesome, flexible, reliable and consistent. 🙏😍🍷#bickleyharvestfestival #upcloseandlocaltours

I recently took a private tour to Bickley Valley, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The tour was perfectly organized, with stops at beautiful locations that showcased the best of what the valley has to offer.
The cider and wine tastings were a highlight, and the farm gate/shop and orchard tour added a unique, local touch. Everything was well-planned and tailored to ensure a relaxing and enjoyable day.
The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the charm and beauty of Bickley Valley.
Thank you for an unforgettable day—I can’t wait to book another tour in the future!

A friend and I celebrated her birthday in the Bickley Valley with a half day wine tour. This was the best wine tour I’ve been on! We both loved that while we tasted a lot of wines (and cider!) and went to such a beautiful selection of places the pace was set so that we really got to enjoy the tastings and the surroundings. It was perfectly timed and so much fun! Paul was a brilliant host with a great way of chatting to each person on the tour. He also knows his wines and gave such interesting information which really added to the experience. Shannon was so lovely to deal with when organising pick ups and details. If you are looking for an amazing day or afternoon out I would highly recommend them! I’m excited to hear more about their personalised tours and we are definitely going back to do the gingerbread tour! Thanks for a wonderful day!

Thank you Shannon for a wonderful tour of Bickley Valley Wineries yesterday. We all had a wonderful experience with private wine tastings and fantastic lunch even though we had to cut it short due to the COVID Lockdown. Deeply appreciate you going above and beyond dropping us off individually. We'll definitely book another tour later in the year for a cider experience Thoroughly recommend Up Close and Local to anyone looking for an extraordinary wine experience

Do yourself a favour and book a tour with Up Close and Local tours, Paul picked us up from the departure point on time and proceeded on our tour. Paul was extremely knowledgeable on the area and the wineries. The wineries and the Cider place we visited were a very good choice. The winery owners explained about their wines and the history of their cellar door, we learnt quite a lot about the wines from the Bickley Valley. We had an amazing afternoon out. Thank you Up Close and Local Tours.

Loved every minute of this tour. Great people, knowledgeable guides and many great memories. It was somewhat annoying to sit at the back of the bus where the company’s promotional sticker degraded the view. Like looking through a shower curtain. Apart from that, this tour comes highly recommended.
