Houghton Winery Cafe Swan Valley

Wine tasting all day. Looking to satisfy your hunger before the next winery. Try a little bit of DYI at the restaurant on the Houghton winery. Order at the counter. See http://www.houghton-wines.com.au/our-cafe

RW & NYK settled on pizza, fish & chips and chilli mussels to share between the wine tasters. Washed down with a bottle of Houghton Sauvignon Blanc 2013 white. Service was quick and the 3 patrons settled down with the easy drinking white wine. 


A thick crust pizza. Chewy round the edges. 


The fish batter was crunchy and the chips seasoned. Prawns were cold with lots of garlic. 


Chilli mussels were hot and it started to rain outside the restaurant. Sauce was good with the crusty bread. 


The Sauvignon Blanc was chilled and was refreshing with the hot food. It was self service with cutlery and plates. Lucky it was a cool rainy autumn day. 

In a hot summer environment definitely go for the shared platters with cheeses and cold meats. Definitely worth a visit if you are speeding around the swan valley wine yards and not looking at a fine dining experience. 

Wine, nuts, olive oil can help reduce your health risk from cardiovascular disease see blogs.nejm.cardiovascular-disease-and-a-mediterranean-diet

We are hoping to sample RW's cooking laced with all the wine from Swan valley at the end of the journey... Yumm.
