Houghton

West Coast Australia


The Swan's oldest and best-known winery is surrounded by stroll-worthy grounds, including a jacaranda grove (check out the insanely purple blooms from late spring to early summer). There's a gallery in the cellar where bushranger Moondyne Joe was caught, and a small display of old winemaking equipment. Oh, and the wine's good too!
