Perth Hills

Wineries

Winemaking has been intermittent but on a tiny scale in this picturesque region. The first-known winery was built in the 1880s and burnt down in 1945.

The longest-established present-day winery (Hainault) dates back to 1980. Perth Hills is a pretty region, with constantly changing vistas. The native plant vegetation grows in rich profusion, with patches of introduced exotics from Europe and elsewhere adding an unexpected contrast near streams and in home gardens. Moreover, it is only 22km from Perth, easily accessible to day trippers.
