A sweet tooth’s guide to the Swan Valley
If you love a sweet treat as much as we do then you’ll love this sweet tooth’s guide to the Swan Valley. Take a day out to explore this beautiful region and make sure to stop at each of these amazing spots to try some goodies.
The Margaret River Chocolate Company
One of the most popular destinations in the Swan Valley region is The Margaret River Chocolate Company. This delightful chocolate factory offers free entry and free chocolate tastings. You can even take a look through their viewing windows and watch all the chocolate products being made. Sit back and relax in their Chocolate Cafe where you can dine indoors or outdoors. If the weather is warm, their sun-deck offers a lovely view of the gardens and vines.
Breakfast and lunch is available every day of the week but if you’re only feeling snackish, try the delicious variety of cakes, desserts, chocolate fondues, drinks and chocolate themed goodies. Their sister company, Margaret River Providore, can be found on the same property and boasts an exceptional chocolate liqueur. However, if someone in the family prefers a savoury option, checkout their variety of award-winning wines, chutneys, preserves and olive oils.

Located directly across from the Margaret River Chocolate Factory is Lancaster Wines. We know what you’re thinking, how is wine sweet? But trust us their famous Sticky Shiraz is incredible and it is the perfect alcoholic option to satisfy your sweet tooth. This place is also home to some of the Swan Valley’s oldest vines. Head to their famous outdoor tasting shed and enjoy the beautiful vineyard while you chill at the bar. If you’re looking for a dash of savoury, curate a grazing platter from their mouthwatering selection of gourmet cheeses, meats and antipasto. As an added bonus they offer freshly shucked oysters every weekend!
