..............Ron says, "Come and enjoy a relaxed day    without fear of motion sickness from the long boat journey to and from the Swan Valley or combining wineries and breweries in the same tour (Wine and Beer are as compatible as water and oil). Why travel over 700 kilometres and further in a day to visit other wine regions like Margaret River when Western Australia's oldest World-Class Wineries are in the Swan Valley, only 15 minutes from Perth City?
