West Swan: Chocolate, Honey, Coffee and Wine

Discover West Swan through its flavours and craftsmanship: at a chocolate factory, you can watch truffles and coated chocolate being made through large viewing windows; other local businesses focus on honey, wine and coffee. The experiences vary: you can watch products being made, get advice about honey, discover new flavours or learn about coffee preparation in a class. This gives you several specific food-and-drink highlights to consider when planning your trip.

Chocolate and coffee to watch and discover

At Margaret River Chocolate Co, you can watch chocolatiers craft truffles and coated chocolate through large viewing windows. Entry and tastings are free. The focus is on the production process, not just the finished product. Yahava KoffeeWorks offers something different: new coffee flavours are introduced at its Tasting Bench, alongside free coffee-roasting demonstrations. Yahava regularly holds events and masterclasses, including a Koffee Safari and a Barista Induction course. In this course, the barista team teaches coffee preparation. The offerings range from discovering new flavours to learning how coffee is prepared.

Honey: advice and flavour

At Windarra Honey, visitors can get detailed advice on using and storing honey. You can also try sparkling honey-flavoured drinks. Purchases are wrapped in bubble wrap so they can be transported home safely. The visit combines a tasting, practical tips on handling honey and help with getting your purchases home.

Wine and food at Lancaster Wines

Lancaster Wines offers a wide selection of premium wines, including a Shiraz made from some of the oldest vines in the Swan Valley. Wines are also available by the glass, and you can buy cheese and charcuterie to enjoy with your drinks. Oysters are also available on weekends. Free wine tastings take place at a covered bar in the middle of the vineyard, in an informal, relaxed atmosphere. Lancaster Wines therefore combines wine tastings with a selection of food and the option to try individual wines by the glass.
