Upper Reach Winery Swan Valley W.A.

Upper Reach Winery is such a beautiful place to go and a beautiful experience. We have been buying Wines regularly for a few years now and they are always delicious. We have also done a couple of the Wine classes which were such fun and very interesting. The Restaurant serves above average food. And we have taken friends there also, and they loved the food. There is a beautiful outdoor Pizza area under a huge gumtree. For people who love to walk, there is a beautiful walk on the property, along...read more

Wine 101

We really enjoyed our morning, taking part in the Wine Education 101 class, after a breakfast at the restaurant for a family group of 6. None of us are 'wine experts', apart from knowing what we like and what we don't, so Steven's approach of starting with some ordinary everyday tastes before moving onto wines themselves helped us feel comfortable with our lack of expertise. Then, as we moved on to the basics of tasting beyond 'sniff/swirl/sip', the small techniques as well as the prepared 'hand...read more

Fun and informative

A fun and informative class! The guide was wonderful and engaging, and the experience was very relaxed while still learning a lot. Lots of tips and methods for tasting wine that will be helpful and easy to apply in everyday life. Really learned what we like in wine which will make it easier to buy well in the future!

Great experience

Great experience, lovely walk around the vineyard with a glass of wine in hand! Then into the working parts of the winery to try wines straight from the tanks and compare them with their bottled counterparts. All this followed by a lovely lunch in the restaurant. Perfect.

Thank you for your wonderful review and we are so delighted that you enjoyed your winery tour and lunch.

Top Marks for Wine 101 and lunch

What a wonderful way to learn more about wine appreciation instead of just drinking it and never giving it another thought. Loved the plate with all the items you could sniff to identify the flavour you were trying to identify in the wine. The atmosphere was great and the presentation fantastic. The meal afterwards soaked up all the wine and was top notch.
