Just under an hour north-east of Perth, the Chittering Valley is far-removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. Its gently rolling hills form a tranquil backdrop to the myriad of orchards, farms and vineyards that dot the hillsides.

The soils of the Valley are predominantly sandy brown and red loam over clay with some granite |

These conditions are ideal for grape-growing with winter frosts ensuring good fruit set and hot summer days and cool summer nights guaranteeing grape ripening. Our wine trail region has a wide ranging choice of friendly, luxurious, affordable, B&B facilities. We are only an hour from Perth so the Chittering Valley Wine Trail experience can be sampled in one day or spread over several leisurely days, self drive or chauffer driven.

We are happy to share our knowledge of local attractions, places to see & things to do.
