The myriad of orchards, farms and vineyards that dot the hillsides of the Chittering Valley ensure that this part of Western Australia is well worth a visit.
The 76 kilometre Chittering Valley Wine Trail winds from Chittering through to Gingin and past a number of public sculptures: the Bull, Willy Wagtails, the Nest and the Travelling Monk. Each sculpture depicts a story that relates to the area. Historical sites of interest in the area include the Old Well at Muchea, the Chittering Museum and the Holy Trinity Church in Chittering.
There are seven wineries to visit and numerous places along the way that sell fresh local produce from the farm gate.
The grapes of the region include grenache, viognier, chenin blanc, chardonnay, verdelho and shiraz.
Highlights of the area include:
- The Golden Grove Observatory in Chittering – the observatory is situated in an orange orchard and is one of the best and most accessible commercial observatories in Perth.
- Bullsbrook – home to the Maze which offers fun activities, a parkland area and the chance to picnic with koalas, kangaroos and emus.
Location: the Chittering Valley is located 65 kilometres north east of the city of Perth.
