Howard Park is committed to genuinely sustainable management, through a nuanced combination of traditional and biological farming with (uncertified) organic and biodynamic principles.
Established in 1986, Howard Park is one of the great houses of Western Australia. A member of Australia’s First Families of Wine and a driving force behind the international reputation of Margaret River and the Great Southern over decades.
