Welcome to the third edition of our quarterly newsletter, a new initiative aimed at keeping you up to date with what’s going on in the region and the industry.

Explore the Perth Hills

With the weather warming up there is really no better time to jump in the car and explore the Perth Hills. There are three very distinctive trails for you to enjoy and itineraries can be downloaded from the web site www.perthhillswine.com.

Christmas in the Perth Hills

Christmas is fast approaching and if you are looking for gift ideas then wine is perfect, it is personal and can be enjoyed now or cellared to be enjoyed later. Many of the association’s wineries have restaurants so why not buy a gift voucher, others have an array of merchandise for sale, wine accessories, fresh produce and locally made arts and crafts.
