Mt Barker is quickly becoming a Great Southern town synonymous with wine, food and local produce. The town boasts great amenities, top vineyards including West Cape Howe Wines, Plantagenet Wines, Goundrey Wines and more, and is a mere 30kms to the Porongurup Ranges, 50kms from Albany, 60kms from Denmark, and around 85kms from Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges.
