With its award-winning restaurants, exciting explosion of small bars and a thriving coffee and cafe culture, Perth\u2019s\u00a0foodie\u00a0scene is booming. By all means, any visit to the Western Australia capital should include stops at the city\u2019s culinary comfort zones. But if you want to push the gastronomic envelope on your getaway, add these delectable food and wine experiences to your list of things to do in Perth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fish for Your Dish at<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Rottnest<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just a quick 25-minute ferry ride from Perth and neighbouring Fremantle,\u00a0Rottnest\u00a0Island<\/a>\u00a0is a quintessential Perth attraction known for its beaches, recreational activities, cute-as-a-button\u00a0quokkas\u00a0and more.\"rottnest<\/p>\n

For do-it-yourself\u00a0foodies, fishing on\u00a0Rottnest\u2019s\u00a0sheltered shoreline while soaking up the fine Perth weather is a feast of fun. Drop a line from the jetty at Thomson Bay<\/strong> or Geordie Bay<\/strong>, or hire a bike and pedal your way to some prime fishing spots, including Radar Reef or\u00a0Ricey\u00a0Beach.<\/p>\n

Have a hankering for herring tonight? You\u2019ll find it nibbling on your bait here, along with\u00a0skippy, tailor, silver bream, and \u2013 in April and May \u2013 an abundance of Western Australian salmon. You can buy or hire everything you need for your fishing expedition at\u00a0Pedal & Flipper and the Rottnest General Store in Thomson Bay.<\/p>\n

Sign Up for a Seafood Class<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now that you\u2019ve caught your own dinner, it would be good to know how to cook it, in keeping with the\u00a0DIY\u00a0theme, right? Indeed, among Perth’s many attractions is the region\u2019s fresh and delicious seafood and many of the city\u2019s cooking schools offer classes on plating up the perfect sea-inspired feast.\"\"\u00a0Jamie Grill\/Corbis<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cooking Professor<\/strong> school runs a\u00a0Seafood without Fear class<\/a>, where you\u2019ll learn to fillet fish, shuck oysters and prepare mussels and squid. Plus, the class is\u00a0BYO, so you can pair your recipes from the deep with a complementary sparkling or white wine from one of Western Australia\u2019s renowned wine regions.<\/p>\n

Taste\u00a0Budds\u00a0Cooking Studio<\/strong> offers a\u00a0hands-on seafood class<\/a>, too. On the menu? Mussels in white wine and garlic, Sicilian seafood stew, barramundi with vanilla vinaigrette and Thai fish cakes. Is your mouth watering yet? Grab an apron!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tread the Eat,Drink,Walk Perth Tour<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Head out on this roughly three-hour tour led by\u00a0Two Feet and a Heartbeat<\/a>, which runs from 6.30pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, starting at Perth Town Hall.\"perth-food-tour\"After meeting and greeting your friendly guide and fellow tourists, you\u2019ll hit a smattering of small bars. However, they\u2019re great ones and representative of the small bar trend that has recently taken Perth and other cities by storm. But there\u2019s so much more to this tour than simply bar-hopping.<\/span><\/p>\n

Between venues, you\u2019ll explore the\u00a0laneways\u00a0and landmarks of the city centre, see a sampling of local street art and learn a little about the evolution of this isolated but cosmopolitan city, before capping off the evening at King Street Precinct.<\/p>\n

Pack a Picnic for the Perth Hills<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Perth Hills<\/a>\u00a0encompasses\u00a0Kalamunda\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Mundaring<\/strong>, both about a 35 to 40-minute easy drive east of Perth. With the famous Perth weather, eight national parks and many scenic outlooks and family-friendly recreational areas to choose from, those who enjoy alfresco dining in the arms of Mother Nature will find it a picnic packer\u2019s paradise.\"LakeLake\u00a0Leschenaultia<\/em> \/\u00a0<\/span>CC by 2.0 \/ graham earnshaw<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In\u00a0Beelu\u00a0National Park<\/strong>, Grevillea\u00a0Mycumbene\u00a0provides a quaint spot amid the native trees to enjoy your lunch on picnic tables. Walk off your meal \u2013 and stop and smell the wildflowers \u2013 on the bushwalking trails that run through the park.<\/p>\n

Like a little art with that artisan cheese you\u2019ve laid out? Point your picnic basket towards\u00a0Mundaring\u00a0Community Sculpture Park<\/strong> in the heart of\u00a0Mundaring. Here, scattered throughout its gardens, you\u2019ll find works by well-known Western Australian artists, in addition to barbecue facilities, picnic tables, a cool playground for the kids and the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail.<\/p>\n

Combine food with wet and wild fun at Lake\u00a0Leschenaultia<\/strong>\u00a0and its surrounding nature reserve. Whether you like swimming,\u00a0canoeing, or taking to the trails on foot or two wheels, you\u2019ll find plenty to see and do here after a pleasant picnic lunch.<\/p>\n

Wend Your Way Along the Swan Valley Wine Trail<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another short drive \u2013 just 25 minutes \u2013 from Perth\u2019s city centre is a true gem: the Swan Valley wine region, the oldest in Western Australia.\"swan-valley-winery-tour-perth\"For food and wine lovers, the scenic and scrumptious\u00a0<\/span>Swan Valley Food and Wine trail<\/a>\u00a0is a don\u2019t-miss experience. The 32km circuit encompasses more than 40 wineries and cellar doors, craft beer breweries, boutique distilleries, restaurants and\u00a0cafes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to sampling Swan Valley\u2019s renowned wine varietals, such as verdelho, chenin blanc, cabernet sauvignon and shiraz, tickle your\u00a0taste buds\u00a0with the\u00a0trail\u2019s\u00a0local produce, including fresh fruits and vegetables, olives, chocolates, nougats, nuts, honey, preserves, cheeses and ice creams. Take a break from all the eating and drinking with stops at the art-and-craft shops and parks that also pepper the trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
