West Cape Howe Winery is situated in Mount Barker, in the midst of the oldest vineyard planting in the Great Southern. Our driving philosophy is to make delicious wines of harmony, balance, structure and flavour - wines that people love to drink.

We spent a fair bit of time in the Denmark / Mount Barker region and I’m pretty sure the warmest greeting we got was from Gill and Gavin at West Cape Howe. The fire was going and the coffee they roast was awesome (you can buy beans as well). But the wines are terrific and at a really good price point. We ended up with a few cartons. It’s a touch out of the way, but we’ll worth the trip.

We decided to drop into Plantagenet Wines on the way back to Perth for a tasting before heading to the Franklin River Valley to try some other wineries. While tasting we had the fortune to meet the founder, Tony Smith, who still spends a lot of time at the winery despite having handed over his winemaking role to the next generation. He was a most interesting and informative person and our planned short stay extended into lunch time, so we decided to stay for lunch. After tasting numerous classy wines, it was hard to decide what wine to buy for lunch. We chose the Three Lions Shiraz (a lovely fruit driven lighter style) and a dried tomato, olives etc pizza. We sat outside in the lovely courtyard and enjoyed the absolute serenity. After such a great experience we decided to give the other wineries a miss and drive straight home. We can highly recommend this winery and further recommend that you stay for lunch and make a half day of it.

Nice hike and you will be rewarded by the fantastic view of the Mount Barker region at the end. 30mins from Mount Barker. Allow at least 2 hours for the hike, longer if crowded. Will need to climb up railings on granite rocks to get up to the viewing platform. Weather can change quickly.

4.5 based on 10 reviews
We are a family-owned business and all wines are dry grown, nurtured and bottled on the estate. That is to strive for excellence in producing small parcels of distinctive and consistently exceptional wines through commitment to producing fruit of the highest quality which we believe is the key to great winemaking

Drove past on our way to another vineyard and popped in as it said online 'open every day'. I'm not entirely sure they were open (it was Tuesday at 4pm) but you wouldn't have known from the welcome and service received. Nigel was friendly, patient with me and my simple (read: stupid!) wine questions and very generous with the tastings. We discovered a new white that we loved and my husband even bought a red which he barely drinks. Thank you to Nigel for being the highlight of Mount Baker wine tour.
8. Mount Barker Visitor Centre

4.5 based on 17 reviews
The Mount Barker Visitor Centre is the "shop front" of the Mount Barker Tourist Bureau (Inc), a fully accredited tourism business. Both the Mount Barker Tourist Bureau and our Visitor Centre are autonomous and self funded. We rely on the essential financial support from annual fees paid by our very much appreciated financial members, the sale of merchandise and fund raising activities. Our Board and Visitor Centre literally and collectively put in thousands of unpaid hours, simply because we believe in what Mount Barker and the surrounding region has to offer: Real, unspoiled, natural and unique - exactly what a country tourism experience should be.

I was staying nearby so I hiked up to this look out. I was lucky enough to have beautiful overcast weather with a smattering of rain and cool breezes which made the walk and the views very enjoyable. You can just about see everything from up here - amazing panoramic views of the Stirling Ranges & The Porongorups. Unfortunately there is no drinking fountain or toilets up here but that’s to be expected. I thought The Broadcast Station up here quite fascinating but it’s all obviously closed to the public because it’s (again obviously) a very vital piece of infrastructure and not a tourist attraction! The Rotary lookout is a wonderful thing with 3 wonderful information boards about the views, the terrain and history of the region. I would highly recommend making the trek all the drive up here.
