Chittering

Discover Chittering - Rich in Food, Farms, Wine and Beautiful Landscapes.

Nestled in the northern hills of the Swan Valley region, Chittering offers experiences at the farm gate, untouched bushland and wetlands, vineyards, orchards, spectacular wildflowers and stunning scenery. Chittering is home to the quaint townships of Bindoon, Muchea and Wannamal and is the perfect day-trip or short break destination with a number of accommodation options including farmstays, B&Bs and guesthouses.

Take a drive along the Chittering Farm Flavour Trail or the Eat, Pick, Grow Trail, that meander through the region with orchards, wineries, markets and roadside stalls selling seasonal fresh produce along your way. The area is also well known for its vast citrus orchards. For several months of the year the aroma of orange blossom is the backdrop of the town of Bindoon and mandarins, oranges and lemons are sold from roadside stalls. At other times of the year avocados, mangoes and pumpkins are available, freshly picked by the farmer.
