Spend Sunday in the Perth Hills

Nestled along the Darling Scarp, in Perth, Western Australia, the 'Hills' hide some charming townships, and activities in the region offer something for everyone.

Best of all?

It’s only a short 30-minute drive from Perth's CBD, close enough for a day trip but charming enough to want to stick around.

Check out some vineyards

Myattsfield Vineyards

Whether you are intent on sampling, winery hopping, or lunch-location scouting, the Bickley Valley Wine Trail has you covered. There’s a bounty of boutique wineries and cideries to explore, all set against a backdrop of vineyards, orchards, and forests.

Some trail highlights include the laidback Core Cider, an award-winning cellar door experience at Myattsfield Vineyards, and The Packing Shed at Lawnbrook with vine and orchard-covered hill views - a beautiful photo opportunity.

Do lunch at the Parkerville Tavern

When you feel the need of a hearty feed after gallivanting around the hills, make a beeline for the Parkerville Tavern.

‘The Parky’ — as the locals so lovingly call it — sports a history spanning over a century. The double-storey federation-style pub, nestled in a wooded valley in the heart of the Perth Hills, was initially established in 1902 and now plates up classic pub-grub with a sprinkling of contemporary finesse.

Think, smoked paprika squid, gin-cured salmon, tofu bites, chicken parmigiana, steak sandwiches, and pizzas from the outdoor oven.

Or, enjoy lunch at Millbrook Winery

Hidden among thick jarrah forest, the boutique Millbrook Winery is known for its curated menu that reflects the chef’s ethos of local sustainability.

It doesn’t get much more homespun than crafting dishes from fruit and vegetables grown in the kitchen’s flourishing garden and orchard. Expect calamansi-cured scallops, pan-fried ricotta gnocchi, and line-caught fish, all to be enjoyed with matching wines.

It’s also the picture-perfect winery for a photo opportunity.
