Houghton Winery

Houghton Winery is a wine production facility in Swan Valley, Western Australia that has operated continuously for nearly two centuries. The property maintains vineyards across multiple regions of the state, from cooler upland areas to warmer valleys.

British Army officers founded the property in the 1830s, establishing what would become a major winery operation. Commercial wine production began within a few decades, eventually building the enterprise into one of Western Australia's prominent vineyards.

The name comes from a British Army officer who was stationed in the colony during its early years, and the winery remains tied to Western Australian wine traditions that visitors can explore through tastings.

The winery operates tasting venues where visitors can sample wines from its vineyard properties. It helps to plan ahead and check which facilities are open during your visit.

One of the winery's most celebrated wines was created by a head winemaker who spent over five decades crafting wines at the property. This long dedication helped establish that particular wine as an Australian classic.
