Pros: The Swan Valley is easy to get to being not that far out of Perth. It is a lovely drive on a Sunday or a place to take visitors. The drive is pretty and you can get a bit of country air while also looking at some wineries along the way. There are lots of places to stop along the way which are very clearly signposted from the road.

Cons: None.

Overall: This is a nice Sunday afternoon drive and I highly recommend it as a scenic trip on a lazy afternoon. There are plenty of wineries and other attractions to stop at along the route.

Pros: Good if your into wine and beer.

Cons: To many drunk yobbos walking around.

Overall: I used to live in the swan valley, the attractions are good such as the many wineries, few breweries, fine dining and of course the chocolate factory. Is hard to get lost as there are only two roads to see the main attractions. However with all the alcohol around makes it a horrible place for the locals, as there are so many drunk yobbos drink driving and swearing as only perth locals no how to do! Never go during spring in the valley as it is completely over rated and you will just end up being abused by fowl mouthed patrons!

Pros: the wide range of things to do

Cons: the cheese factory has closed down and moved to midland you would be a little stuck if wine is not your first choice

Overall: good place to visit-highly recommend-i hear that mondo nougat and stewarts resturant are great places as well-they are fairly new.
