Wine 102 Food And Wine Matching

Food and Wine Pairing

An immersive food and wine experience

Ready to take your wine journey further? Wine 102 is the delicious next step after Wine 101, an immersive food and wine pairing class that explores how wine transforms when matched with the right dish.

Hosted at our boutique Perth winery in the beautiful Swan Valley, this indulgent experience is perfect for wine lovers, foodies, and anyone curious about how flavour and balance work on the plate, and in the glass.

Food and Wine Pairing

What to Expect

Your Wine 102 experience is both educational and indulgent, combining guided tastings with expertly matched food in a two course, sit down format.

  • Taste a selection of premium Upper Reach wines, expanding on the varietals covered in Wine 101
  • Explore how different proteins, sauces and flavour profiles interact with wine
  • Discover why certain food elements enhance, or clash with, particular wines
  • Enjoy your entrees during the interactive class in our private Wine Room
  • Then relax with your main course and matched wine in our award-winning Swan Valley restaurant

This is more than a class. It is one of the most unique and enjoyable wine tasting experiences in Perth.

Went today for the Wednesday with 2 other couples for the $55.00 lunch. Value for money 10/10. Our friends who we invited were delighted with the food and surroundings. I had the lamb for entree and pork for mains. Simply amazing. All the other dishes were sensational. This place is worth a try. Also brought wine and joined the wine club. Will be going back.

FYI NOT DOG FRIENDLY although on the occasion we visited we were welcomed due to the ongoing misunderstanding. Great spot! Everyone is very welcome, lovely wine and the pizza is delicious. 10/10 will recommend and visit again.

Thank you Upper Reach your food was sensational once again. The only issue was the air-conditioning wasn't working very well but otherwise perfect.

We love this place, we have been in the wine club for a few years now and we get the fabulous wines at even better prices. Our faves are the reserve chardonnay and the shiraz.We attended the Valentines concert with. Group of friends, such a fantastic night! Would recommend it!

This was my 3rd time at Upper Reach restaurant, and this time I went with friends. The food and wine were absolutely delicious—we ordered a variety of entrées and mains to share, and loved every single dish. The atmosphere is incredible and so peaceful, perfect for a relaxing lunch. The service was outstanding: the staff were very attentive, friendly. Even though it was quite busy, we never felt overlooked or waited long for anything. A wonderful experience all around! I had previously also been to the Treehouse on the same property, and the pizza there was excellent too—crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection in the woodfire Pizza oven!

2026 - This winery sits on stunning grounds with a beautifully arranged wine‑tasting cellar, individual bar, restaurant, and plenty of inviting spaces to relax; whether you prefer picnicking on the grass or unwinding at the shaded tables. The overall atmosphere is lovely and perfect for a leisurely day out, and while the wine‑tasting experience itself felt a little subdued and could benefit from some additional seating in the cellar door, the setting more than compensates. It’s also a dog‑friendly spot, and although I’d keep visiting dogs out of the tasting room to ensure everyone feels comfortable, meeting Poppy (the owners’ charming golden retriever) was an absolute delight and added a warm, personal touch to the visit.
