One of our favourite ways to spend a weekend is relaxing at a family friendly winery or cidery in Perth. If you’re looking for a child friendly spot for lunch in the Perth Hills or Swan Valley you’re in luck – we have the ultimate list of the many Perth wineries and cideries that are fun for the whole family – not just Mum and Dad. These wineries and cideries feature fun playgrounds, indoor play activities and children’s menus, giving the adults time to enjoy a glass or two. Cheers!
Family Friendly Wineries & Cideries in the Swan Valley

One of the Swan Valley’s biggest wineries, Sandalford Estate, has enjoyed a revamp. Its restaurant has been modernised and now feels more welcoming for families. Outside, kids will be delighted to find a brand new playground! If you’ve got a special occasion to celebrate, then the Sandalford restaurant is a great option to dine with family.

Mandoon Estate, a family-friendly Swan Valley winery, is set in gorgeous surroundings on the Swan River. It’s a must stop winery for foodie families seeking that Margaret River vibe. The modern winery has loads of class, whilst still keeping a laid-back, feel. And the food at adjoining Homestead Brewery is very tasty too! For Kids: a kids menu, and a fenced and shaded playground.

Nestled in the serene Swan Valley with magnificent views of Lake Yakine and the Darling Ranges, Edgecombe Winery offers a relaxed family-friendly experience. While the winery features a small playground, it’s the expansive grassed areas that make it particularly appealing for families, giving children plenty of space to run around and play ball games within view of the outdoor tables. Parents can unwind with Edgecombe’s estate-grown wines, which reflect the sun-drenched region with zesty whites, velvety reds, and signature fortifieds. The rustic, long-table alfresco dining area draped with vines creates a welcoming atmosphere where families can gather for a leisurely lunch. It’s also a great spot to pick up fresh seasonal produce grown on the estate, from luscious table grapes to crisp asparagus. Find out more in the Buggybuddys blog.
For Kids: a small playground, children’s menu, and large grassed areas for play.
Find Edgecombe Winery at 1733 Gnangara Rd, Henley Brook (corner of Gnangara & West Swan Rd).
