The Vines is a suburb of Perth in the Swan Valley region of Western Australia, developed as a country club estate in 1987. Homes consist of mostly large lots of 1⁄4–1 acre (0.10–0.40 ha) situated around the golf courses. The Vines was approved as a suburb name in 1996.
The Vines is home to a four-star resort and country club that encompasses two hotels: the Novotel Vines and the Sebel Swan Valley. The resort hosts two 18-hole golf courses, The Lakes course and Ellenbrook course, which both traverse throughout the suburb; both are world class championship courses.
The Vines Resort and Country Club has been host to international golf tournaments: the Heineken Classic 1993–2001, Johnnie Walker Classic 2006 and 2009, and the Lexus Cup 2007.
There are no shops, schools or facilities in The Vines; the suburb relies on neighbouring suburbs and the Swan Valley for these services.
