Houghton Winery, Wine production facility in Swan Valley, Western Australia.

Houghton Winery maintains four major vineyards across Western Australia, including locations in Moondah Brook, Pemberton, Mount Barker, and Frankland River regions.

Three British Army Officers established the property in 1836, naming it after Lieutenant Colonel Richmond Houghton before Dr. John Ferguson produced the first commercial wine in 1859.

Jack Mann served 51 consecutive vintages at the winery and created the Houghton White Burgundy in 1937, which became Australia's highest-selling white wine.

Visitors can schedule wine tastings at the Brookland Valley and Houghton Cellar Door, where they can sample wines from Western Australian vineyards.

In 1869, the property gained notoriety when bushranger Moondyne Joe was captured attempting to steal wine from the cellars.
