Award-winning wineries on the ‘must-visit’ list include Sandalford Wines, Sittella Winery and Mandoon Estate. There are bike trails to check out the Swan Valley Heritage Cycle Trail with plenty of places to stop and enjoy wine and local produce along the way.

Bring your girlfriends for wine tastings, wine appreciation sessions and winery tours.

Top tip is to pre-plan and also make a reservation for lunch or dinner at the fantastic restaurants featured at the above wineries.

Set out on a Hike or Swim with a Picnic

For those willing to trek a little, make the hike worthwhile and pack a picnic for that post-swim treat. Great places to check out for both Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day include Serpentine Falls with three different trails or Kitty Gorge with the chance to swim in the falls. Both locations are about an hour away from Perth.

Bottomless Brunch

Highly recommended for Galentine’s Day, book a spot at a number of different venues featuring a bottomless brunch. Indulge over at Pan Pacific with bottomless high tea or a three-course shared meal with free-flowing pink gin cocktails and rose at Stables Bar. Click here for more information.

Enjoy the Acoustic Gig at Perth Zoo

See some of the best emerging Australian musicians with your loved ones, or grab your mates and make a night of it. There will also be food trucks there to round out your night with gourmet eats or there is also the option to pack your own picnic with responsible BYO drinks. Don’t miss out and make sure you grab your tickets here.
