DOG FRIENDLY WINERIES IN NAPA VALLEY

Napa valley, comprising of the cities of Napa, Carneros, Oakville, St. Helena, Yountville, Rutherford and Calistoga is about 1.5 hrs north-east of San Francisco and is synonymous with California wine country where people flock from all over the world to taste the very best of New World libations. It is one of the best road trips from San Francisco to embark on in search of good food and wine.

With rolling hills covered in vineyards stretching for miles, wineries big and small beckoning wine lovers and some of the best restaurants in the world enticing you with their California-influenced cuisine, this part of the state is breathtakingly beautiful to say the least! No wonder then that Napa is considered one of the most romantic getaways in Northern California!

Napa is also quite dog friendly and much like wineries in nearby Sonoma that welcome dogs , there is no dearth of dog friendly wineries in Napa . Infact, many winemakers have furry companions who may greet you upon your visit, as you can see in these books on Wine Dogs of California .

Because of its proximity to San Francisco (70-80 miles northeast), you can easily visit the dog friendly wineries in Napa as a Bay Area day trip ! This will also help save some money in lodging since staying overnight in dog friendly hotels in Napa can be really expensive

FAQs ON VISITING DOG FRIENDLY NAPA WINERIES

Don’t skip this section if you’re planning to visit the dog friendly wineries in Napa Valley with your pups. Lots of useful information here based on my many, many visits with my dogs Babu and Gunda which will help you plan your trip smoothly.

Do wineries in Napa allow dogs?

Napa valley has hundred of wineries and tasting rooms, many of which are dog friendly! Well behaved dogs on leash are welcome in many Napa wineries, either in the tasting room or in the outdoors (patio/garden) and sometimes in both. Read my detailed dog friendly Napa valley winery guide below to find out about all these fabulous napa wineries allowing dogs.

Does Napa Valley allow dogs?

Absolutely! Napa valley is a haven for dogs-starting from wineries and tasting rooms to restaurants and some really nice hiking trails. Plus, there are many stores in downtown Napa, St. Helena and Calistoga which allow dogs. 

Are dogs allowed at Castello di Amorosa?

YES, Castello di Amorosa is dog friendly! Dogs are allowed in the tasting room and also on the self guided tour of the castle. They are not allowed on the guided tour. Scroll down to our experience in Castello di Amorosa with our pup Gunda to learn more.

What are the rules for bringing dogs to wine tasting in Napa?

Dogs must be well behaved to be allowed for wine tasting in Napa, i.e. no aggressive dogs allowed . Dogs should be on leash at all times during the tasting and under supervision of their owners.

They should not be allowed to stray off or mingle with other guests on their own (unless of course the guest is another dog lover coming up to you voluntarily to pet your fluffball!). I highly recommend bringing treats and water (these collapsible dog bowls are great for travel) along with you to keep your dog engaged during wine tasting.

Do you need reservations for wineries in Napa?

As I have explained in my first time visitors guide to Napa , wineries here are either large and touristy (walks ins accepted) or small and exclusive (requiring appointments) . 

I highly recommend going to smaller boutique wineries with your dogs for a more relaxed wine tasting experience (see my post below for planning) . Since reopening in 2020, almost all wine tasting is by appointment only and reservations can easily be made online, over phone or via email.  

Are dogs allowed on Napa winery tours?

Several wineries may offer conducted tours of their facilities and vineyards for an additional fee. In case you are planning to join one, please confirm if dogs are allowed there as well. Unless you specifically have a service dog (who are allowed everywhere), most tours are off-limits to dogs.

Does Hall Winery allow dogs?

The St. Helena location allows dogs for outdoor tasting (see below for our experience). The Rutherford location does not allow dogs.

What kind of wine will you get to taste in Napa?

Napa is known for its bold, red wines which are mostly Cabarnets. If you are not into full bodied wines, choose Sonoma or Lodi , both of which boast of many beautiful dog friendly wineries.

What is the average cost of a wine tasting in Napa?

Unlike other wine growing regions in California such as Carmel Valley , Lodi or Sonoma or Santa Ynez valley , wine tasting in Napa costs a pretty penny . The tasting fees starts upwards of 25 USD and can hike up to 100 USD, depending on the winery and the flight of wines selected. Of course, several wineries waive the tasting fee or provide a discount on purchase of one or more bottles of wine or if you are a wine club member.

Is downtown Napa dog friendly?

Yes, downtown Napa is dog friendly. There are many restaurants (Gott’s Roadside and Napa General Store) welcoming dogs. Tasting rooms like Trahan winery welcome dogs too. You cannot enter Oxbow market with dogs but can sit outside on their shaded patio to eat once you order your food.

THE BEST DOG FRIENDLY NAPA VALLEY WINERIES

Here are some of the best Napa wineries that welcome dogs based on my wine tasting experiences with Babu, our Tibetan Spaniel mix and Gunda, our Terrier mix who have been all over California . Please enjoy responsibly!

DOG FRIENDLY WINERIES IN NAPA 

The city of Napa is filled with many dog friendly hotels, wineries and restaurants welcoming dogs. The famous Oxbow market is also in Napa which is home to many eateries, stalls and kiosks featuring Northern California goods and produce. Here are some of our favorite places to go wine tasting during a weekend trip to Napa with our dog.

Black Stallion Winery

This dog friendly Napa winery is an estate winery that overlooks acres of land that once housed famous race horses (which is why the name). In its modern avatar, it is now home to some of the best cabernets in Napa Valley.

At Black Stallion, you are greeted with a spacious tasting room and a sprawling shaded patio that overlooks the estate vineyards. Here, visitors can relax on deep cushioned patio seats as they savor both red and white varietals with some delicious charcuterie pairing. This dog friendly winery welcomes well behaved dogs on leash and is perfect for first time dog parents visiting Napa.

Chimney Rock winery

Chimney Rock winery is one of the most beautiful wine tasting venues in Napa , boasting of a Spanish Mission style majestic white building towering over rows and rows of vineyards. The winery specializes in some of the best handcrafted cabernet sauvignons from the heart of Napa’s Stag’s Leap district. 

Wine tasting with your dogs at Chimney Rock is a relaxing affair in a shaded, centrally located patio at your own assigned, individual table. Although pricey, I highly recommend checking this place out for the ambiance and the friendly service.

DOG FRIENDLY WINERIES IN ST. HELENA AND YOUNTVILLE

Both St. Helena and Yountville are known all over the world as luxury destinations for not only some of the best wineries but fine dining since they are home to 3 Michelin star restaurants such as Restaurant at Meadowood (an unfortunate casualty of the devastating California Glass fire from 2020) and Thomas Keller’s French Laundry . Here are some of the wineries welcoming dogs in these two towns.

 Tres Sabores winery

Tucked away in one end of South Whitehall lane in St. Helena, this women owned and operated winery is one of the most beautiful dog friendly wineries in Napa with a zen tasting experience unmatched by any other winery in the valley. This winery loves dogs and sustainable practices alike and is a certified organic business with 12 acres of vineyards growing mostly zinfandel grapes and some cab.

All wine tasting is in their beautiful outdoor garden overlooking the vineyard where you’ll be surrounded by olive groves, lemon and pomegranate trees. Owing to their attention to detail and personalized service, the tastings are times and reservations are required. They are also incredibly dog friendly, with the owners and assistant winemaker’s dogs (one Labrador and two very friendly Golden Retrievers) roaming the property casually.

As of 2021, their tastings of 6 (mix of white and red estate wines-cabs, zinfandel and a very unique varietal that tastes almost like a Pinot Noir) cost $50. A single tasting fee is waived when you purchase 4 bottles. They also have snacks to go along with their tasting and you can also purchase small bites (charcuterie and cheese board) if you wish. Plus, they allow tasting friendly lunches onsite.

Hall winery

Hall winery is a beautiful dog friendly winery in St. Helena that is very popular with wine enthusiasts and provides an unique wine tasting experience.

Wine tasting is outdoors with the tasting area adjacent to a lush, green lawn punctuated with some really cool and funky sculptures overlooking the adjoining vineyard (you can spot some of their sculptures at the entrance of the winery as well). This winery specializes in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlots, which is what Napa is mostly famous for. 

Clif Family Winery

If you’re thinking that this winery is somehow connected to Clif energy bars, then you’re 100% correct.

Owned by the Clif family, this small batch boutique winery not only makes wine but also a ton of other artisan food products such as jams, jellies, snacks and even pet treats, with the produce sourced from their farm near Howell Mountain. Clif Family farms 90 acres of CCOF and Napa Green Certified estate vineyards in the Howell Mountain and Oak Knoll District AVA’s of the Napa Valley with winemaker Laura Barrett at the helm of affairs.

This dog friendly tasting room at Clif Family has one unique feature and that is their very own food truck, which is very rare in Napa. They’ve had this bruschetteria on wheels since 2008 and every Wednesday it has a rotating selection of street food from all across the world. You can easily order from the food truck and enjoy the order in their outdoor dog friendly patio. 

We visited Clif Family winery during my birthday in June and I went for the seasonal wine tasting that comes with a 3 cheese pairing which was just heavenly. If you wish to buy their Chardonnay, they sell it only in this tasting room location. I highly recommend visiting this winery for tasting and lunch if you’re in St. Helena.

Markham vineyards

This winery in St. Helena not only has a cosy fireplace for wine tasting but also a spectacular gallery for people to enjoy.  Markham offers diverse varietals in both red and white sourced from the various appellations all over Napa. I especially enjoyed their Moscato and Petite Sirah. 

Currently, patio reservations for wine tasting is available from Friday-Sunday (see their visit page for info). After a long hiatus, Markham has become dog friendly again! Read their dog policy here .

Jessup Cellars

This is not a winery per se, but more of a tasting room in downtown Yountville that also doubles up as an art gallery ( wine tasting is outdoors) . However, the best part about wine tasting with your dog at this boutique place is the exceptionally friendly staff that will make your tasting experience extremely memorable. This is the reason why this place is widely known as the “friendliest tasting room in Napa valley”.

I highly recommend getting the local cheese platter (sourced from JCB tasting salon nearby) that pairs extremely well with their wines, especially their chardonnay which is the crispiest I’ve ever tasted! Honestly, this is one of the best places to go for dog friendly wine tasting in Napa.

DOG FRIENDLY WINERIES IN CALISTOGA

Calistoga is an extremely dog friendly town in Napa , and sits at the northernmost end of the valley, in the shadows of Mt. St. Helena that used to be an active volcano millions of years ago. Besides wine tasting, this is also a perfect winter getaway in California owing to its many geothermal spas for some much needed R&R. We’ve visited Calistoga many times with our dogs and some of our favorite dog friendly wineries in Napa valley are located here.

Dutch Henry winery

This secluded, super dog friendly Napa winery (you will be greeted with a cheery yellow stop sign featuring an airedale as you drive in) is a must visited and should be included in your dog friendly Napa itinerary.  

Dutch Henry winery is located on the historic Silverado trail in and is famous for its small batch handcrafted wines crafted by owner and winemaker Scott Chafen.  Wine tasting fee is waived in lieu of purchasing a bottle, but best of all this is one of the few wineries in Napa where no prior appointment is necessary for wine tasting.

This winery not only has a shaded outdoor picnic area for wine tasting but also its very own vineyards surrounding the tasting room. I highly recommend visiting Dutch Henry for a quiet and relaxing wine tasting experience with your pup minus the crowds. 

Notes for 2020-2021: DH winery was badly affected by the California Glass fire in 2020 and is currently taking a break. It is supposed to reopen in 2021 and tasting is by appointment only, so please don’t forget to make that reservation

Clos Pegase Winery

This high end winery in Calistoga is one of the premier dog friendly wineries in Napa and one of the most beautiful wineries that I have personally visited . Although wine tasting here costs upwards of $40 , the tasting room is bright, airy and has an understated elegance to it. Plus the staff is extremely friendly and will readily answer all your burning questions on wine during the tasting along with a handy map showing the different appellations in Napa.

 The estate surrounding the tasting room is simply breathtaking and you must take a stroll here while sipping on your precious wine. In case you’re feeling self-indulgent, Clos Pegase is a great place to check out for some luxury wine tasting experience with your dog in Napa.

Bennett Lane Winery

If you’re looking for a dog friendly Calistoga winery that is charming and won’t break the bank for tasting, then head straight to Bennett Lane Winery which boasts of having the friendliest tasting room in all of Napa (it actually is!). You and your pup will be seated in a dog friendly lawn for tasting. Their signature tasting is $25 (2022 price) and waived with a three bottle purchase. 

Bennett Lane is home to many 90+ pointer wines and I loved tasting their 2021 Reserve Chardonnay (perfect for a hot day), 2015 Maximus (blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Syrah and 7% Merlot), 2017 Petite Sirah and 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. This is definitely one of the best budget dog friendly wineries in Napa.

Tamber Bey Winery

This former horse ranch turned tasting room is one of the most unique dog friendly wineries in Napa Valley (and pretty expensive too). Once you enter the distinctive red building surrounded by acres of land and pass through the beautiful tasting room, you will step into a shaded courtyard for your wine tasting. Dogs must be on leash at all times and they are not allowed to pee on the courtyard. There is a separate pet relief area which is next to the picnic area on the front end of the winery for them to go.

At Tamber Bey , your tasting fee (which is waived if you buy 6 bottles) is $60 (2022 prices). You will get a pour of 5 wines (2 whites, 1 rosé and 2 reds), out of which my favorite was hands down the rose of GSM blend (I’ve always had rosés of Pinot Noir or Gamay and was pleasantly surprised at the subtle notes of this one).

One fun fact about the winery is that they do not have any vineyards on the property-this is because they are right next to the old Faithful geyser on Tubbs lane (a unique dog friendly attraction in Calistoga) due to which there is a lot of sulphur in the soil that can affect the wine.

The tasting room courtyard is filled with photos of the owners who are into competitive horse racing and got into wine making in the 90s. You can also explore the courtyard during your tasting and if you do, be sure to say hi to two retired Arabian Mares resting in their stables!

Brian Arden Winery

This winery on the Silverado trail is one of the newest in Napa and opened in 2015. The winery itself is arresting in its architectural features and is made of stone and glass. Dog friendly wine tasting happens in the shaded outdoor lawn with lots of comfortable seating overlooking their vineyard where they grow zinfandel grapes. The tasting fee is $45 and I highly recommend the chef’s charcuterie board to go with the wine.

Castello di Amorosa (aka “The Castle”)

Calistoga is home to the grandest winery in Napa Valley , which is a full fledged medieval style Tuscan castle built by Dario Sattui (his great grandfather Vittorio Sattui founded V. Sattui Winery in 1885 in San Francisco that is now one of the most popular wineries in Napa Valley).

You need to make reservations for even entering the castle for either a tasting or a tour (tasting is optional if you reserve a tour). Good news is that the winery welcomes dogs and you can explore the castle on your own after you are done with the tasting.

Everything inside the castle is simply grand and eye-poppingly beautiful. The wine tasting room at Castello di Amorosa is filled with barrels  with magnificent Italian frescoes and paintings adorning the walls. You get a pour of five of their signature wines and you can pair it with local chocolates like we did.

As you wander through the castle on your self guided tour, you will see the incredible Great Hall, the Courtyard, the Chapel and the upper Loggia-all of which are accessible on a self guided tour (a reserved guided tour takes you to several other parts of the castle that are not accessible on a self guided walk). Don’t forget to make your way up to the terrace for panoramic views of Napa Valley and Mount St. Helena.

The Castle grounds are beautiful too with lush vineyards all around and an animal enclosure with goats and an emu casually strolling around. If you’re visiting Calistoga with your dog, I cannot recommend this lavish wine tasting experience in Napa enough! Make your reservations here .

DOG FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS IN NAPA VALLEY

Wine tasting is hard work that needs to be rewarded with some lip-smacking food! Napa, being one of the premier culinary destinations in California has some of the best dog friendly restaurants with patio dining for you to have a delicious meal with your pup. Over my half a dozen visits mostly with my pups Babu and Gunda , here are my recommendations:

La Calenda (Yountville) : the Oaxaca inspired restaurant helmed by executive chef Kaelin Ulrich Trilling, son of Susana Trilling, who is considered an authority on Oaxacan cuisine will not only wow you with moles and mezcal, but also a sunny patio. 

Coqueta (Yountville) : This Spanish restaurant serving up tasty dishes and Tapas (their original outpost is in San Francisco’s Embarcadero) has a shaded outdoor seating area.

Mango on Main : This tiny Thai restaurant in downtown Napa is big and bold on flavors and has a few chairs and tables outside for a dog friendly meal

Gott’s Roadside (St. Helena and Napa) : This insanely popular joint has multiple locations in the Bay Area and is known for its burgers, salads, sandwiches and tacos.

The Grove (Napa): The Grove is the in-house restaurant of the Culinary Institute of America (The CIA at Copia). They have a lovely outdoor seating area as well for you to enjoy delicious Mediterranean inspired cuisine with your pup.

Farmstead (St. Helena): This is another dog friendly restaurant in Napa which has a bustling outdoor patio equipped with heaters. Their deviled eggs are delicious and a must have. I highly recommend dog parents going there for lunch or dinner.

Solbar (Calistoga): This restaurant of the famous hospitality group Solage is extremely dog-friendly with a giant patio and a great place to include in your Napa itinerary for lunch or dinner. The food is top notch Californian-American with hints of Asian influence (think of lamb gyros with a twist or sweet potato chapatis) and all ingredients are locally sourced. Solbar is part of the Solage Hotel which is a dog friendly luxury hotel in Napa.

Calistoga Inn & Brewery (Calistoga): is a dog friendly Napa restaurant has a lively and spacious outdoor seating where well behaved dogs are welcome. The food is essentially Californian American with seasonal ingredients. 

Lovina (Calistoga): this super popular restaurant in downtown Calistoga has some of the yummiest food that you can enjoy in a leafy courtyard. Vegetarians will love this place since there are many plant based dishes on the menu.

FARM at Carneros Resort and Spa (Carneros):  It may cost you an arm and a leg to stay at this famous luxury hotel in Napa, but you can definitely indulge in a little bit and dine at FARM which is one of their three dining spots that also welcomes dogs in their covered outdoor space. The food is sourced from local ingredients and they have a very impressive wine list.

DOG FRIENDLY HOTELS AND LODGING IN NAPA VALLEY

Although Napa valley makes for a great day trip from San Francisco , I highly recommend staying here for a weekend (if your budget allows) to make the best of what this region has to offer, which is honestly A LOT.

Napa can be a very expensive place to stay and the choices of dog friendly hotels in Napa are limited (but you can always scout out some dog friendly Airbnbs ). Having been to Napa several times with Babu, here are my recommendations based on where we stayed during our dog friendly wine tasting in Napa:

Bear Flag Inn

Bear Flag Inn   is one of the best dog friendly B&Bs in Calistoga with the owners Dennis and Marjorie being major pet lovers as well and parents to two dogs and a cat! The cottages spread across acres of greenery for your dog to run around and best of all, dogs are welcome here at no extra cost.

Besides hot breakfast in the morning, they also have wine and snacks to enjoy in the evening with the wine coming from the grapes in the vineyard facing the inn. This is one of the best places to stay in Napa with your dog, as attested by a five star rating on BringFido.com

Enchanted Cottage

Looking for a relaxing getaway in Napa with your dog? Then choose the Enchanted cottage , another charming B&B in Calistoga that is both kid and pet friendly! You will be greeted with a basket of simple, yet hearty continental breakfast outside your door every morning during your stay. The cottage itself is spacious and comes with a fireplace that adds to its vintage charm!

Hotel Napa Valley

  Hotel Napa Valley is a pet friendly inn near downtown Napa was our most recent stay (2020) when visiting Napa with Babu. Here, not only do you get a spacious room, but the bathroom (complete with a fancy clawfoot Victorian tub) is humongous!  The complimentary handmade treats in the evening are a nice touch as is the free internet. Remember to call and confirm the availability of pet friendly rooms prior to making an online reservation.

Notes for 2020-2021: Pet policy, breakfast and happy hour arrangements might be different during these unprecedented times. Please confirm everything with the innkeeper/hotel manager prior to booking your stay.

Calistoga Motor Lodge

Calistoga Motor Lodge located at the very end of downtown Calistoga,  is a fun, roadside boutique hotel with pet friendly rooms. The rooms are inspired by the Great American road trip and dogs are welcome in the smaller Camper rooms. You can take a swim in one of their 3 geothermal mineral pools, play bocce ball or corn hole on their lawn or get pampered at the Moon Acre spa.

The lodge is very conveniently located near the scenic Silverado trail as well as the Oat Hill Mine trailhead, which is a dog friendly hiking trail. Parking is free and they also have in house dining at Fleetwood offering Mediterranean wood fired cuisine. If you’re visiting Calistoga and want to stay close to downtown, I highly recommend this dog friendly hotel.

I hope you enjoyed this post on all the dog friendly wineries in Napa and are planning on visiting Napa with your pup for wine tasting. Thanks so much for stopping by and follow us on our California adventures with Babu and Gunda right here !

It’s great that you were able to find so many wineries in this area that are dog friendly! I like to take my dog with me when I’m able to.

The Laura Michael Winery says that they regret, but no dogs can visit. Stated on the opening page of their website. (May 2021)

Thank you Bianca for letting me know. I have updated my post with this info.

We appreciate your kind review and are so pleased to hear that you had such an enjoyable experience when you visited us at Darioush.

Please do be aware, we have introduced a food-pairing component to all of our tasting experiences and can no longer allow dogs on the premise (besides bona-fide service dogs).

Thank you again, we are at your service should you have any questions or concerns about this policy.

Best, Alison Wagner Sales + Marketing Administrative Assistant; Darioush Winery

Thank you Alison, I will update my blog!

Sit, stay, and savor your wine with your canine best friend by your side.

Your dog is more than a pet. Pups are beloved family members and it's natural to want to include them in our favorite activities ... including wine tasting!

Many vineyards invite guests to sniff and sip wine while savoring a day with their pet, too. If you want to visit a dog-friendly winery, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. Here are some notes on what you need to know before you go to some of the nation's best dog-friendly wineries and vineyards.

What to Do Before You Take Your Dog to a Winery

Visiting a winery is likely new territory for your pup. You'll want to add a these tasks to your pre-trip to-do list.

• Brush up on basic training. At least six to eight weeks in advance, practice some basic skills to ensure your dog has a safe and fun trip. Joan Hunter Mayer, a certified professional dog trainer and founder of The Inquisitive Canine suggests, teaching your dog cues like down , sit , stay , and how to leave things alone when they're dropped on the ground.
• Have a dress rehearsal. A winery is going to feel different from home. Mayer recommends doing a practice run by inviting friends over and seeing how your dog reacts, then graduating to a nearby dog-friendly restaurant that allows pets on the patio.
• Call ahead to ask if the winery is dog-friendly . Policies are constantly changing, so before you load up your pup in the car, just double check to make sure you can being them along.

Pet Safety Tips at the Winery

Even the best dog-friendly wineries may pose safety hazards for your canine best friend. Here's how to keep them happy and healthy.

• Watch what they eat . Grapes and raisins are toxic for dogs and any alcohol, wine included, can also make your pup severely ill.
• BYOT, BYOW. Since your dog can't have what you're having, Elizabeth Schneider, an author, host of the podcast "Wine for Normal People," and dog mom says it's best to bring food and beverages for them. "Don't rely on these dog-friendly wineries to have water and treats," she says.
• Know your dog's limits . If your fur baby seems tired or cranky, it may be time to pack it in early. Also understand that some dogs will just not enjoy a crowded winery environment, and that's OK! There are a ton of other fun, safe outdoor activities pups and their parents can do together (and the winery will still be there another day after you find a good a pet sitter ).
• Be respectful . Sometimes, things don't go according to plan. Schneider says the safest thing to do is to be respectful of any requests the winery staff makes. "It's the staff's prerogative," she says. And not being respectful could ruin the fun for other dogs in the future.

Best East Coast Dog-Friendly Wineries

Some like to say, "West coast, best coast" for wine, but east coast wines have a character all their own. Don't believe us? Taste for yourself—with your pup—at these wineries that allow dogs.

Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars of Lodi, N.Y.

Schneider recommends this New York spot , one of a few Finger Lakes wineries that are dog-friendly. The rieslings inside are rivaled only by the gorgeous views of Seneca Lake on the outside. Your pup is welcome to peer out onto the sprawling vineyard and waterfront right alongside you. Set on more than 100 acres, there's plenty of space to sit back and relax with your pup.

Working Dog Winery in Hightstown, N.J.

New York often gets a lot of the credit for east coast wine. But neighboring New Jersey has some muscles to flex, too. The appropriately-named Working Dog Winery in New Jersey is a small but mighty vineyard situated on 17 acres. The winery doesn't just have dogs on its label. It welcomes pups to roll around on the lawn portion of the property (on a leash) while the humans toast to their four-legged companions.

Best West Coast Dog-Friendly Wineries

Napa Cabernet Sauvignons are bold and fruit-forward, and Sonoma's chill vibes and Pinot Noir hit all the right notes. The possibilities for west coast wine tasting with your pet are endless. Allow us to help you narrow your choices.

Longboard in Healdsburg, Calif.

The recommendation for Longboard Vineyards one of several dog-friendly wineries Sonoma is home to, comes from Schneider. People say it's a hidden gem that not only boasts creative wines but first-class service, the latter of which both humans and pups lap up. You may even catch glimpse of Fog, the adorable vineyard dog.

Frog's Leap in Napa, Calif.

Schneider says dog-friendly wineries in Napa are harder to come by than those in Sonoma, but Frog's Leap is her pick for this area. Despite its wide distribution throughout the country, the vineyard manages to maintain an intimate feel. Stepping into the outdoor area feels like entering a Zen garden. It's in full bloom in spring and summer, providing a scenic backdrop.

Tablas Creek in Paso Robles, Calif.

Pets are permitted outdoors at Tablas Creek , a favorite spot dog-friendly winery in Paso Robles. The patio is shaded, providing protection from the elements on a warm afternoon. And environmentally-conscious animal lovers may especially appreciate this place. While there, you can learn how a herd of free-roaming sheep and alpacas plays a role in keeping the vineyard soil healthy.

Best Great Lakes Region Dog-Friendly Wineries

This under-the-radar wine region includes Michigan, Ohio, and parts of New York. It gets an assist from the surrounding lakes, which retain heat and aid in protecting vines even during the colder months. And some wineries that allow dogs get an extra star from pet parents for their Fido-friendly policies.

Left Foot Charley in Traverse City, Mich.

When it comes to dog-friendly wineries in Traverse City, Left Foot Charley is a go-to. The vineyard boasts something for multiple types of imbibers, as it not only serves red, white, and sparkling wines, but ciders as well. Pups can sip water outside.

Fox Run Vineyards in Penn Yan, N.Y.

While several wineries are dog-friendly outside, Fox Run also welcomes dogs inside at the main tasting bar. (On a nice day, a seat outside on the patio or lawn is highly recommended, though, if only for the fresh air and sprawling vineyard views). While your dog indulges in whatever goodies you brought, there's also the option to treat your pup to a fancy house-made Bark-Chew-terie board made with delicious dog-safe snacks like a peanut butter pumpkin ball and apple slices .

Best Midwestern Dog Friendly Wineries

The Midwest may be better known for its humid summers, cold winters, and amiable locals than its wine. But these dog-friendly wineries are proving that Midwestern vino is a hidden gem for pet parents.

Chandler Hill Vineyard in Defiance, Mo.

When Chandler Hill Vineyard says it's family-friendly, that means dogs are welcome, too. Dogs can chill on the back deck and in the vineyards with their oenophile parents. The gorgeous views include a pond and acres of vines. Rosé is among the favorite wines to try.

Galena Cellars Vineyard & Winery in Galena, Ill.

This laidback vineyard loves dogs so much, it includes a photo of one on their website. What's more, Galena Cellars Vineyard & Winery is one of a few vineyards that doesn't prohibit guests from bringing in outside food. Consider packing a picnic full of your favorite foods, dog treats, and water (outside beverages aren't allowed for humans). But the vineyard produces a special jalapeño wine that Bloody Mary lovers adore and a sangria that hits the spot on a summer day.

Best Dog Friendly Wineries in the South

The Southern part of the U.S. is typically lauded for its sweet tea. But quality local wine is on the menu, too. Bask in all the southern comforts at a couple of dog-friendly wineries.

Augusta Vin in Fredericksburg, Texas

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and the views, wine, and love of wine at Augusta Vin certainly fit that bill. The covered outdoor deck provides shade from the summer heat and gives way to sprawling vineyard views. As for the wines, the silky, elegant Augusta Vin Estate Aglianico pairs perfectly with Italian fare, while the Latitude 45 is an easy sipper.

Engelheim Vineyards in Ellijay, Ga.

Does Engelheim Vineyards allow dogs? The vineyard gives an enthusiastic yes. "We love your furry four-legged friends," reads the website of the dog-friendly north Georgia winery. Perhaps the only thing sweeter than the service at Engelheim is the 2020 Sweet Molly wine. The fruit-forward sipper balances out spicy dishes.

Best Southwestern Dog Friendly Wineries

Tex-Mex fare and gorgeous desert landscapes give the Southwest region a special charm. And so do these beautiful wineries you can enjoy with your canine companion.

Enchantment Vineyards in Portales, N.M.

This Southwest vineyard loves sharing southwestern hospitality with guests and their dogs and vinos inspired by the region with you. In addition to the wine, Enchantment Vineyards ' guests also rave about the cider and beer the vineyard provides, as well as the menu that includes cheat-day favorites like sausage sliders and pretzel rolls. And apparently, the dogs are barking—happily—about the large grassy area.

Oak Creek Vineyards & Winery in Cornville, Ariz.

Oak Creek Vineyards & Winery invites dogs to sit on the patio, allowing pet parents to truly plan a family outing. Bottles and glasses are available for purchase and ideal for sitting, sipping, and staying a while. If you get hungry, the vineyard kitchen can fix you a cheese plate, hummus, or even a cheesecake.

Best Rocky Mountain Region Dog Friendly Wineries

After hiking, heading out for an afternoon of wine tasting with your pup is the perfect way to wrap up a trip to the Rocky Mountain region. Plan to pull up a chair at one of these two spots.

Carlson Vineyards in Palisade, Colo.

The vineyard cats have a starring role on Carlson Vineyards ' Instagram feed, but the staff has a soft spot for your canine friends, too. Dogs are allowed to accompany their humans to this winery in Palisade, a town in Colorado known for both its vineyards and peach farms. Guests can get the best of both worlds by sampling a peach wine that's known for being bright and sweet. Other creative wines include a cherry and chocolate and cherry wine (just keep those out of the pups' reach!).

Telaya Wine Co. in Garden City, Idaho

Carrie Sullivan, a co-owner and winemaker at Telaya , actually used to be a veterinarian. These days, she uses her passion for science to create award-winning wines like the Syrah, which won Best Red Wine at the 2021 Idaho Wine Competition. But she hasn't forgotten her true roots as an animal lover, and pups are allowed to sit with their humans at the winery. There are also multiple dogs on staff, including Donut the accountant and Cookie the bean counter.

A Complete Itinerary to Dog Friendly Wineries of the Willamette Valley

Categories Oregon

If you didn’t already realize, we take Sora with us just about everywhere we go. The trouble always comes during the colder months, when our favorite restaurant patios are closed and there are few indoor places we can bring Sora along.

I thought I was privy to all the dog-friendly places in Portland like breweries or the handful of restaurants with heated patios, but it wasn’t until we joined Oregon Wine Country on the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway portion of our Oregon Rode Trip last June that I learned that wineries are quite possibly the most dog-friendly places around. I since learned that the Willamette Valley contains a host of dog-friendly wineries, and many even have dogs of their own.

We had so much fun during our first tour with Oregon Wine Country, that we worked with them on a winter trip, all about dog-friendly wineries! By car this time, we traveled around to visit several Willamette Valley wineries for three days sampling some seriously delectable pours, all with Sora by our side.

Dog-Friendly Wineries of the Willamette Valley

Dundee hills & eola-amity hills.

Keeler Estate, Amity

Visitors are first greeted by cheerful Abby, just one of several wine dogs at Keeler Estate , who lead us into the arms of owner Gabriele Keeler, who welcomes guests with an exuberant laugh. Of course, Sora is the real star, so Gabriele quickly ran off to retrieve several jars of treats for her.

As we sipped on the biodynamically-grown wines fermented in a cement egg , Tasha, the other family dog barked hello from the office where she worked with Gabriele’s husband Craig, also an owner. Quite possibly the only winery with a wine club for dogs, Keeler Estate offers Pinot & Puppies as an add-on for existing wine club members. For an additional $15 per year, membership includes organic treats, puppy play dates at the vineyard, and a chance to be featured as dog of the month. If that weren’t enough, a portion of each membership goes toward Homeward Bound, Oregon’s first no-kill animal shelter.

Sokol Blosser, Dundee

Sokol Blosser is one of the original Oregon wineries, having begun producing wine in the late 70s, and a leader when it comes to sustainability. To highlight just a few of their accomplishments, Sokol Blosser began transitioning the vineyard to organic production in 2002, the same year they opened the first winery building in the country to receive LEED certification. By 2005, the entire 72-acre vineyard received full USDA organic certification and in 2015 established the business as a B Corp.

Dogs are not allowed indoors at Sokol Blosser, on account of the kitchen, but are more than welcome to hang out on the covered patio, which is open year round with heaters and blankets for colder days, or in the picnic area in back on a beautiful summer day. A classic Oregon winery, just about everything these guys produce is top notch, especially the Rosé we were lucky to sample before it’s Valentine’s Day release.

Where to Stay with a Dog:

The vintages trailer resort, dayton.

Quite possibly the most fun place to stay in all of Oregon wine country, the Vintages Trailer Resort consists of 30 colorful vintage trailers of all shapes and sizes. Each trailer comes equipped with it’s own WiFi, cruiser bikes, and bottle openers, of course. The best part for us? They LOVE dogs. Sora received a goodie bag filled with a tennis ball, squeaky toy, dog treats, and charDOGnay ! The resort is located right next to a dog park and is walking distance to downtown Dayton.

Click here for latest rates and traveler reviews.

Where to Eat:

The dundee bistro, dundee.

Operated by another Oregon wine country original family, the Ponzis, the Dundee Bistro offers high quality food that pairs perfectly with the wines produced in the Willamette Valley. The restaurant is a perfect blend of high end dining in a casual and friendly setting that welcomes everyone from the visiting tourists to local residents and field workers still wearing their overalls and work boots.

Vegan options are plentiful by request, and even a couple pizzas already come completely vegan! During the warmer months, dogs are welcome on the patio.

Valley Commissary, McMinnville

With a focus on local and seasonal ingredients, Valley Commissary delivers tasty food highlighting the bounty of the Willamette Valley. The menu rotates frequently, save for a few regular staples, featuring sandwiches, salads, and burgers. Some sandwiches come pre-made, so it’s not possible to omit products like cheese to veganize them. We both ordered the chickpea burger and were quite pleased with our choice.

The Block House Cafe, Dayton

Located in the charming town of Dayton, the Block House Cafe makes its home in a renovated 1886 First Baptist Church across from the main park. A true local establishment, most patrons are townies allowing visitors a peek into their daily lives.

The cafe serves locally-roasted espresso and coffee in addition to the wine, of course, and the menu features regional ingredients that can easily be made vegan with some creativity. During the summer months, bring your pup to join you for breakfast or lunch on the patio.

Southwest Willamette Valley Wineries

Emerson Vineyards, Monmouth

Tom, the owner and winemaker of Emerson Vineyards is a funny guy. He’s the sort of person who will reply with a pun and most definitely some sass to make you laugh. Each of the wines has a story behind the name, usually related to and named for a family member. He even named the winery after his grandfather. The entire wine making process is done so with sustainability in mind, using organic practices when possible.

Airlie Winery, Monmouth

Bring a picnic lunch and stay awhile at Airlie Winery while sipping on some wine on the heavily forested estate that loves dogs. Their own canine ambassadors, Irish Setters Riley and Rocky love meeting visiting dogs. They will happily show visiting canines all the hip spots around the winery, like the swimming pond.

The woman-owned winery works meticulously on each batch of wine and produces a wide range of varietals, including Müller Thurgau and Maréchal Foch, one of the few wineries in the region that makes this type.

Where to Stay:

Best western plus prairie inn, albany.

This centrally-located hotel is a prime spot for wine tasters. Located in between Salem and Corvallis, the Best Western Plus Prairie Inn has a dog park right across the street and pups get a welcome treat. Our room was spacious and comfortable and a continental breakfast with variety of options was included in our stay.

We wished that we had had more time to visit the nearby Talking Water Gardens , an incredibly cool wastewater treatment project designed to mimic the cleaning and cooling processes that occur in nature, returning treated water safely back to the Willamette River.

4 Spirits Distillery, Corvallis

Established by Dawson Officer in 2011, 4 Spirits Distillery was created to honor four combat soldiers who served with Dawson in Iraq. A self-taught distiller, he studies the craft with precision and tinkers with various flavor combinations. His creations include a cucumber gin, a habanero spiced rum, and several whiskeys.

He encourages the same creativity among his kitchen and bar staff. Case in point, when the chef learned of our veganism, he went out and purchased ingredients to create vegan versions of the sliders on the regular menu. He also informed me that they’re working on a vegan version of their veggie burger (which currently uses eggs as a binder). Currently, pups are allowed on the outdoor patio, and lucky for us, we experienced some rare warm February weather during our visit.

For more pet-friendly eateries and activities in Corvallis, see our post describing the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway .

Frankie’s Restaurant, Albany

Frankie’s put a strict focus on knowing where every ingredient on their menu comes from and makes everything—from dressings to mayonnaise to the burger buns—in house. The menu features a variety of cuisines, with plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The passion for food shines in each plate served by the friendly staff. Coming soon from the same owners is Bodhi Bakery , located just across the street from Frankie’s. Named for their dog, the raw juice bar and bakery has fans eagerly awaiting the opening.

South Salem Hills

Cória Estate, Salem

Perched high above the Willamette Valley, the view from Cória Estate’s brand new tasting room is worth the visit alone. One side overlooks the vineyard and the Willamette Valley. From the other, you’ve got clear views of both Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson. The large patio and grassy area just beg for outdoor fětes.

Maya, the Official Greeter and Tasting Room Escort came into the lives of the Cória family after finding her way onto a neighbor’s farm. Unable to find the owners, they began asking friends and family if they could open their hearts to a sweet chocolate lab. The Cória family didn’t think twice and adopted her as a member of the family in 2008.

What began as a nine-acre plot of land, the family-run estate has grown to a 94-acre vineyard. The winery produces pinot noir, pinot gris, and chardonnay, with daughter Aurora leading the production.

Gather Cafe, Silverton

A fantastic gem located in the historical town of Silverton, Gather serves healthy, locally-sourced foods in a bright open space. With plentiful vegan selections, we had a tough time settling on a dish. We ultimately went with the Better Burrito, a solid choice.

The Oregon Garden, Silverton

We had never heard of the Oregon Garden until our visit on this trip. This gem of a place features an 80-acre botanical garden with 20 different specialty gardens. Each garden displays the diversity found in the Willamette Valley and Pacific Northwest. Our favorite was the pet-friendly garden, which educates visitors on plants that are both toxic and non-toxic to pets. The Oregon Garden also contains one of the oldest living Oak trees in Oregon, a 400-year old heritage tree in the Oak Grove.

The cottages at the resort are spacious and cozy rooms heated by gas fireplace. Pets are welcome for a nominal fee in select rooms and may join guests in the garden and on the outdoor patio for meals. The resort also organizes social events, like Friday morning yoga. Lucky me, I happened to be the one and only participant during our visit.

10 Best Dog-friendly Wineries in Napa Valley

• by DAISY BARRINGER
• on MARCH 13, 2023

Visiting a Napa Valley winery is always a good time, but it’s an even better time when your trusty companion is by your side (or, at least at your feet). These days, a lot of people enjoy traveling to Wine Country with their pets, even if the destination is only an afternoon at a winery. That’s why we sniffed out these dog-friendly wineries in Napa Valley, where your pampered pet is allowed to join in the wine tasting festivities.

It’s important to note that at most pet-friendly wineries, your dog will need to remain leashed and won’t be allowed in the tasting room, wine cave, or cellar. However, as long as Fifi or Fido is well-behaved and considerate (no barking at other guests or dogs, please), these Napa wineries happily welcome you and your faithful four-legged friend to enjoy a taste of the good life, and maybe even a biscuit or two.

Where to Enjoy Pet-friendly Wine Tastings in Napa Valley

Tamber bey vineyards.

You and your dog will both enjoy saddling up to the picturesque Tamber Bey Vineyards located at Sundance Ranch in Calistoga, home to the largest horse facility in Napa Valley. While there, not only will you be able to sip Bordeaux-style blends and premium single-vineyard estate wines, but you can say hello to the horses, both high-performance Arabians, as well as some that have been rescued from abuse and neglect. Your dog will love it because there’s lots of outdoor space and even a dog park. Plus, they will get plenty of water and tasty food. Feeling left out? Don’t. At Tamber Bey you have the option of adding a cookie pairing to your tasting. Bone appetit!

1251 Tubbs Lane, Calistoga, CA 94515, (707) 942-2100

Napa Cellars

Pine Ridge Vineyards , known for its elegant Cabernet Sauvignon wines, offers traditional tastings, but if you’re bringing your pup, “Bottle Service and Picnic in the Garden” is a great option. Your group will have a dedicated seating area in the estate gardens where you can pour your own wine and relax. Your dog (who must be leashed and well-behaved) will be happy to have a shady spot in the grass and will get a bowl of water, upon request (and perhaps a belly scratch as well).

5901 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558, (800) 575-9777

Migration ‘s idyllic winery and tasting room in Carneros is an airy, relaxed place to taste the winery’s Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sparkling wines. While guests must be 21 to visit, that isn’t the case for your four-legged companions, who are welcome to tag along with you for outdoor tastings. In addition to tasting flights for the adults, Migration offers Barkuterie boards for doggie guests. The plate includes a Migration biscuit, duck sausages, and other treats. All you have to do is ask your host to add it to your tasting!

1451 Stanly Lane, Napa, CA 94559, (707) 415-2298

Trefethen Family Vineyards

The family-owned and operated Trefethen is the only 19th-century wooden three-level, gravity-flow winery still surviving in Napa Valley. While your pup may not be interested in winemaking processes, learning about how gravity-flow production uses gravity to move wine around more gently than if pumps and other machines are involved, he will at least be happy that he is allowed to accompany you while you taste through the “essentials,” small lots,” “all reds,” or “seasonal” flights, so long as he stays on leash.

1160 Oak Knoll Avenue, Napa, CA 94558, (707) 255-7700

If your dog goes nuts when he sees rabbits, shield his eyes from the “HALLmark” giant Bunny Foo-Foo sculpture at the entrance of this St. Helena winery in Napa Valley, known for its Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, Sauvignon Blancs, and contemporary art pieces spread across the property. Dogs aren’t allowed inside the buildings at HALL , which means not all tours and tastings are possible, but you can enjoy tastings outside on the patio, as well as hang out and relax on the Great Lawn. (While HALL is dog-friendly, please note that dogs are only allowed at the St. Helena location, not the Rutherford location.)

401 St. Helena Highway South, St. Helena, CA 94574, (707) 967-2626

Tres Sabores Winery

When you arrive at this family-owned and women-led winery in St. Helena, you and your pup will be greeted by a fluffy, four-legged welcoming committee of three friendly Golden Retrievers: Cava, Bouzy Rouge, and Brilla. If you’re lucky, the newest addition to the Tres Sabores Winery , Fi-Fi, will also join the party. After you’ve told everyone what good girls and boys they are, you can enjoy a tasting of Tres Sabores’ Zinfandels, Cabernet Sauvignons, and Petite Sirahs, while your dog (who should be on a leash) enjoys fresh water, treats, and pets. All tastings are intimate and hands-on and require an appointment. (And kids can come along, as well.)

1620 S. Whitehall Lane, St. Helena, CA 94574, (707) 967-8027

Honig Vineyard & Winery

The folks at Honig say, “We’re dog friendly as long as your dog is friendly” — a fair trade, indeed. As far as wine tasting goes, this family-owned Napa winery focuses solely on its (very popular) Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, but is also committed to environmentally sound practices, which makes a visit not only unique but educational. Your leashed dog may even learn a thing or two as the winegrowers at Honig use golden retriever “sniffer dogs” to detect vine mealybugs, which are nearly invisible to the naked eye but can do major damage to a vineyard.

850 Rutherford Road, Rutherford, CA 94573, (707) 963-4272

Frog’s Leap Winery

Chimney Rock is one of just a few wineries that produces all Stags Leap District estate-grown Cabernets, which is why it’s a must-visit if you like Cabernet Sauvignon. While you’re sitting on the shaded patio and sipping your way through those richly textured wines, your (leashed) dog can take a nap or rehydrate (dog bowls with water are provided). Want to explore the property full of stunning South African architecture or go inside the tasting room? Your pooch is welcome there as well. Even your kids can join this Napa excursion; just be sure to include them all in your reservation.

5350 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558, (707) 257-2641

Dog-Friendly Saint-Émilion Châteaux to Visit with Your Pup

By Jennifer Dombrowski 2 Comments

There’s no need to leave your pup at home when visiting the Bordeaux wine region! Many wine châteaux love your dog (almost) as much as you do. There are a number of dog-friendly Saint-Émilion châteaux that are proud to welcome both you and your pup for a visit. Here are some of dog-friendly wineries (though not an exhaustive list), which Coco the Traveling Samoyed gives two paws up!

Château Cantenac

Château Cantenac is a charming family-run Saint-Émilion Grand Cru châteaux that has been in the Roskam-Brunot family since 1937. Of course, as a family-run estate you can expect to be welcomed by one of the family members themselves. And that’s exactly what makes Château Cantenac well worth a stop during your trip to Saint-Émilion .

Extremely welcoming to both humans and your furry four-legged companions, we recommend a private Prestige tour. This visit includes the classic tour of the vineyard, winery and barrel room, and ends with a tasting of four wines accompanied by bread and cheese.

The Prestige tour is available by reservation. Plan 1 hour 30 minutes for this tasting experience. Château Cantenac is best reached by car.

Château La Croizille

Château La Croizille is arguable situated at one of the prettiest viewpoints in the Saint-Émilion vineyards. Sitting high up on a hillside, the château’s vines tumble down the terraced plots from the unique tasting room.

What is particularly unique about a visit to Château La Croizille is that visitors actually get to visit two different châteaux sitting right next to one another. Both are owned by the De Schepper family, and the modern Château La Croizille is a stark contrast to its classical sister, Château Tour Baladoz. The tour finishes with a tasting of two wines, one wine each from Château La Croizille and Château Tour Baladoz.

Of course, dogs on leashes are welcome. And you might even like to linger on the terrace wine bar over an extra glass before having a walk on the vineyard paths with your dog.

Château La Croizille is open by appointment only from Monday – Sunday. Book your visit online and plan 1 hour for this tasting. The château is best reached by car.

Château Pas de l’Ane

Named for the donkey that is Château Pas de l’Ane’s mascot, this Saint-Émilion winery can be considered a baby in a land of storied estates. Nestled between famous neighbors Château Cheval Blanc and Château Figeac, Château Pas de l’Ane got its start in 1999 with just one hectare of vines.

The château has never stopped expanding and today there are 13 hectares of vines spreading over 5 of Saint-Émilion’s 8 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation areas.

Beyond the classic wine tasting visit, Château Pas de l’Ane offers visitors one of the unique wine escape game visits in the Bordeaux wine region. And you can even put your pooch to work sniffing out the clues to help you and are partners solve the case of the missing bottle of wine before the clock runs out.

Château Pas de l’Ane Escape Wine is available for 2 – 6 people with advance booking. Plan 2 hours for this escape game wine tasting experience. The château is best reached by car.

Château Rol Valentin

Like Château Pas de l’Ane, Château Rol Valentin is another baby among Saint-Émilion wineries. The château’s history only dates back to 1994, when it was founded by former European football (soccer) star, Eric Prissette. And since 2009 it has been a family-run estate belonging to Alexandra and Nicolas Robin.

Head to Château Role Valentin not only for the fantastic wines, but for the unique Shape of the Wine Glass workshop. This visit dives into how the shape of a wine glass can change the aromas and even the taste of the wine. You won’t believe it until you experience it. Of course, furry family members are loved and welcomed by Château Rol Valentin, too.

Château Rol Valentine is open by reservation. Plan 2 hours for the Shape of the Wine Glass tasting experience. The château is best reached by car.

Couvent des Jacobins

Located right in the heart of the village of Saint-Émilion, the Couvent des Jacobins is unique. It is the only château to be located in and have its wine making facilities located within the medieval walls of Saint-Émilion. It is set inside a former 13th century monastery and takes its name from the order of friars who once called the monastery home.

A true family-run estate, the current owners are descendants of Couvent des Jacobins’ founders. It is truly rare these days to find a Bordeaux wine estate that has remained within the same family since its founding.

Not only does the location within the village of Saint-Émilion make Couvent des Jacobins a must visit, but the wines are top notch. Visitors won’t miss out on a trip to the vines, either. You and your four legged companion are whisked off to the plot located just behind the Couvent des Jacobins in the estate’s own tuk-tuk.

No matter which visit you choose, all visits at Couvent des Jacobins are private. But we recommend choosing La Trilogie de Couvent. You taste not only the first and second wines of Couvent des Jacobins, but also make a special stop at the boutique CALICEM and taste this superior single grape wine that comes from a plot located right next to the famous Château Angélus and from arguably some of the best terroir in Saint-Émilion.

Couvent des Jacobins is open by appointment. Plan 2 hours for La Trilogie de Couvent tasting experience. The estate is located in the heart of Saint-Émilion. Saint-Émilion is easily reached from Bordeaux Center by train to Gare Saint-Émilion .

Les Cordeliers

Also located inside the walls of Saint-Émilion, Les Cordeliers has been producing sparkling wine for over 100 years. Totally different than the Saint-Émilion red wine blends typical of this area, the AOC Crémant de Bordeaux is Bordeaux’s champagne style sparkling wine produced in both white and rosé. While the grapes themselves aren’t grown within the walls of the medieval village, the crémant is aged in the maze of tunnels beneath the cloister.

No matter whether you opt for a tour to see the aging tunnels below or just grab a glass of the Bordeaux bubbly to enjoy in the enclosed garden, Le Cordeliers is a must-visit when in Saint-Émilion. Better yet, it’s also dog-friendly.

Les Cordeliers is open year round and wines by the glass or bottle, along with grape juice can be purchased from the bar in the garden. Tours can be booked at the Saint-Émilion Tourist Office or online in advance. The cloister is located in the heart of Saint-Émilion. Saint-Émilion is easily reached from Bordeaux Center by train to Gare Saint-Émilion .

My husband and I are travelling St Emilion with our small, well behaved, dog – Dalton – and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog. We will definitely visit some winerys with Dalton. We are staying for a week very close to St Emilion centre so any other dog friendly recommendations (e.g. walks, things to do, nice restaurants etc) would be very welcomed and appreciated. Thank you

Saint-Émilion is very dog-friendly! Restaurants are no problem at all. Almost all accept well behaved dogs both inside and on terraces. Just mention you have a dog when making reservations.

You can also visit the underground church, which is a must. The Cordeliers cloister is also dog-friendly. You can do the tuk-tuk tours. I would suggest mostly following my 3-Day Saint-Emilion itinerary as nearly all of it is dog-friendly.

A Pet-Friendly Paso Robles

Spending your time in wine country can be incredible, especially when you can share that experience with your pawed friends. But remember, not everyone loves dogs, and we want to ensure that Paso Robles is a place where everyone can feel welcome and safe. So, as a general rule, please keep your pets leashed at all times unless you’re within one of the many off-leash dog parks. Please also make sure to clean up after your pets and respect those wineries and vineyards that are not listed as pet-friendly. It’s not that they don’t like pooches, they just may have resident dogs (or cats) that prefer two-legged visitors over four-legged visitors. Paso Robles Wine Country is a beautiful place, and we want to keep it that way for all our guests.

17 Dog-Friendly Wineries in Virginia

Virginia is home to over 300 wineries. One of my favorite weekend activities is to visit some of the local wineries with friends, and with my friends’ dogs! We often bring our furry friends to enjoy a picnic and a flight of our favorite reds and whites!

Many Virginia wineries are dog-friendly. Some wineries only allow dogs outside, while others allow dogs both inside and outside, which can be especially great when visiting wineries in colder weather or rainy weather.

When trying to find out ahead of time if a winery is dog-friendly, there are two resources I recommend. You can check out the dog policy on the winery’s website to see if they are dog-friendly. They may have a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section or a “Visit Us” section that includes this information.

Another great resource is Bring Fido , which has information about dog-friendly wineries, hotels, restaurants, and more!

Below is my ultimate guide to the best dog-friendly wineries in Virginia. I’ve broken down the list by region to help you plan your next winery tour with your four-legged friends!

Please note that the below list doesn’t include all dog-friendly wineries in Virginia, but I will be adding to the list on a regular basis!

Best Dog Friendly Wineries Paso Robles: Ultimate Guide & Tips

Are you thinking about planning a wine tasting trip to beautiful Paso Robles but debating if you should bring your dog along with you? Lucky for you, Paso Robles is one of the most inclusive dog friendly destinations in California .

Continue reading, I have listed some of the best dog friendly wineries in Paso Robles, where to stay and eat with your dog, and plenty of other tips of wine tasting with your four-legged friend.

It’s hard not to love a destination like Paso Robles, California. With year-round beautiful weather, panoramic vineyard views, delicious wine, and farm-to-table restaurants. Paso Robles is the ideal weekend getaway in California.  

However, the biggest perk of all is, Paso Robles is super dog friendly. So why not book those wineries and skip the dog boarding because you are packing your bags for a weekend of wine tasting in central California!  

Guide on Paso Robles

The city of Paso Robles is known for, you guessed it, wine! Situated along California’s central coast, Paso Robles produces world-renowned wine. What makes their wine different and unique from other California regions are the soils, climate, and long growing season. 

Paso Robles is known for its production of deep red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and  Bordeaux-style blends.  The warm sunny days and drop of temperatures at night provide the perfect climate to create fantastic wines. Paso Robles consists of over 200 wineries that span across 40,000 acres of vineyards.  

6 Essential Items For Your Dogs 🐾 First Aid Kit

Every dog owner should be prepared with these 6 must-have items when traveling with their pup

Where is Paso Robles?

If you are planning on visiting Paso Robles, I suggest making a weekend trip out of it. Paso Robles is a three-hour drive from San Francisco and Los Angeles. Just a little too far to make it a day trip. Also, you will be drinking wine, so best to stay at least one night in Paso Robles.

When planning your trip to wine country, be prepared to drive to the wineries. The wineries are spread out throughout the different regions of Paso Robles. Most of the wineries are not within walking distance of each other, so you will need to drive to each location. Or your other option is to book a tour. You can find more information about that below.

Dog Friendly Wineries Paso Robles

Eberle winery.

Eberle is one of the best dog friendly wineries in Paso Robles and definitely, a must-visit if you are bringing your dog to wine tasting. The owner of Eberle is a dog lover himself. He has two black, Standard Poodles that you will often see making new friends on the property.

When we arrived at Eberle, it felt like a party! Their enormous deck, which overlooks the acres of vineyards, was filled with people sipping on wine and enjoying live music.

Eberle is very customer-focused. They offer a free tour of their wine caves and five complimentary wines to enjoy on their deck. There is a $10 deposit at booking. However, that will go to any wine that you purchase during your tasting. Pretty sweet deal! The cave tour is very interesting and informative, and dogs on leash are welcome!

Tooth & Nail Winery

Another Paso Robles dog friendly winery is Tooth & Nail. The winery is very unique. It is a castle surrounded by a moat and decorated with gothic décor.

We brought our dog here and were seated on their shaded outdoor patio. The atmosphere at Tooth & Nail was very welcoming, with live music playing, friendly staff, and a bowl of cold water for our pup.

Tooth & Nail also serves food, so this is a great spot to grab a bite to eat during your day of wine tasting in Paso Robles . Check their event calendar, they hold a ton of events, including live music, dueling pianos, comedy night, happy hour, and brunch every Sunday.

Booker Vineyards

When visiting Booker Vineyards , it felt like a very posh and sophisticated winery. Their tasting room was gorgeous, with updated modern décor while all of their staff was wearing white.

As a dog parent to a large dog that usually requires a drool towel, it made me a little nervous. However, as soon as we sat down, the staff went above and beyond for us. Our dog received lots of attention and even got to meet and play with the owner’s dog, a Bernese Mountain dog. Needless to say. He loved it!

The classic wine tasting takes place in their lounge or patio, which has indoor-outdoor seating, perfect for those warm summer days. The hillside boasts gorgeous views of their vineyards. Along the front of the vineyard, they have a bocce ball and corn hall court.

Besides being a dog friendly winery in Paso Robles, Booker Vineyards has some really fantastic wine! At the end of our tasting, we did purchase a couple of bottles of wine to bring home with us. Their wine is a little bit more on the expensive side compared to some of the other wineries we tasted. Our personal favorites were the 2018 Fracture and the 2018 Oublie.

Daou Vineyards

If you are just starting to plan your trip to Paso Robles, I highly suggest you book your reservations at Daou Vineyards now. Reservations book up quickly! Daou is hands down our favorite winery in Paso Robles. Proof of loving it so much, we left our wine tasting as club members.

Daou has incredible panoramic views, and the fact that Daou is also a dog friendly winery in Paso Robles is a huge bonus. The grounds at Daou Vineyards are simply breathtaking. All of the seating outside offers a view of rolling hills and vineyards.

If you are looking for something to snack on in between sips of delicious wine, I recommend their cheeseboard. It was out of this world!! The cheese plate was overflowing with rich and delicious cheeses, charcuterie, unique spreads, pita bread, and more.

Justin Vineyards & Winery

We have JUSTIN Wines to thank for putting Paso Robles on the fine wine map and growing its reputation. JUSTIN wines have been a favorite of ours for a long time, we always have a bottle ready to uncork for a dinner party.

They have numerous award-winning wines. JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery have a tasting room downtown and an estate in Paso Robles that is dog friendly. Make sure to book your wine tasting in advance, JUSTIN is one of the more well-known wineries in Paso Robles and their reservations fill up fast.

Tip: JUSTIN also has an Inn and restaurant at their winery estate. However, these two locations are not dog friendly.

Calcareous Vineyard

Calcareous is another must-visit dog friendly winery in Paso Robles. Drive along the winding and scenic Peachy Canyon road, where you will find the beautiful Calcareous Vineyard estate. The estate sits perched atop the hill, which provides gorgeous never-ending views of the Salinas Valley and Paso Robles. 

The wine tasting takes place outside on their lush green lawn, with each table shaded by an umbrella. Before you start your wine tasting, take a short walk along the dirt path. This is where you are going to see the best views of Paso Robles! They have a couple of chairs that you can sit back and relax in later with a glass of wine and soak in this magnificent view.

Our dog was very comfortable lying next to us in the soft grass while we did our tasting. Calcareous is another option where you can order some lunch . They have a wood-fired pizza oven and a full kitchen.

Dog-friendly Wine Tours

I am in love with this idea of a dog friendly wine tour! If you prefer not to drive and want someone else to do the planning for you, there are 3 different companies that will take you and your dog on a wine tasting tour of Paso Robles.

Toast Tours: Toast Tours helps you organize a custom and private wine tour designated for your group. All of their private tours are dog friendly at no additional cost.

The Wine Line: The Wine Line also allows you to bring your pup along during your tour of wineries. They will pick you up from your accommodations and drive you to 4-5 wineries of your choosing.

Should You Take Your Dog Wine Tasting With You?

This question was one that we had our first time visiting the wineries with our dog Cash. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how many dog friendly wineries in Paso Robles welcomed our pup with open arms and, of course, lots of belly rubs!

Tips For Taking Your Dog to Wineries

• Advise the wineries in advance that you will have a dog so they can seat you at a table with extra legroom. 
• Pack water and bowl. A lot of wineries will provide this, but it’s still a good idea to be prepared.
• Brush your dog before your day of wine tasting. I have a Golden Retriever, and nothing goes better with some wine than dog hair. I try to get all of that extra hair off so he doesn’t shed on other people or inside the wineries.
• Pack a chew toy to keep them occupied while you are tasting.
• Pack a small towel. It’s hot out, and my dog drools a lot, so we always come prepared with a “drool towel.” It helps us and or our neighbors from getting an unwanted drool shower.
• Try to go on a morning run or walk to get some energy out before your day of wine tasting.
• Pack treats and dinner with you. I don’t know about your dog, but Cash gets hangry if he isn’t fed promptly at 5 pm.

Paso Robles Dog Friendly Hotels

As mentioned above, Paso Robles is a very dog friendly town. When we first visited, I was surprised by how many 3, 4, 5-star hotels were dog friendly. Typically when traveling with our English Golden Retriever, we are limited on where to stay, so it was a huge relief knowing we had so many fantastic options in Paso Robles.

If you are looking to book your stay for Paso Robles, I have created an additional list of the top dog friendly hotels in Paso Robles. Along with their pet policy, a summary of each accommodation, and tips from our personal experiences.

Allegretto Vineyard Resort 

If you want luxury for you and your pup, Allegretto Vineyard Resort is the hotel for you. One of our favorite dog friendly hotels in California, Allegretto Vineyard,  is a gorgeous Tuscan-inspired resort. The grounds of the hotel are surrounded by Allegretto’s picturesque vineyards and beautiful gardens.

Want to learn more about Allegretto Vineyard Resort? Check out my post: Allegretto Vineyard Resort Reviews 2023 for everything you need to know  to decide if this is the best accommodation for you.

One of our favorite features was the pet-friendly rooms that give you direct access to the courtyard. It makes it very easy to get your dog out in the morning or late at night for their potty breaks.

Allegretto Vineyard Resort offers many amenities during your stay with them. Such as a wine tasting from their vineyards, a spa, tours, and an onsite restaurant. Even their restaurant accommodates your pup! They have a dog friendly menu that serves poached chicken, filet mignon, and a doggie dessert.

Paso Robles Inn

Located in the heart of Downtown, Paso Robles Inn is within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and over 20 wine tasting rooms. Their dog friendly rooms are top-notch . They offer rooms with a private balcony or patio with a spa tub that provides views of their lush gardens.  

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Paso Robles

For a budget-friendly option, La Quinta Hotel offers everything you need for your stay at an affordable price. You will get free breakfast during your stay, and they do not charge a pet fee.

You can have a max of three dogs with you for free, which is pretty rare to find! Another plus, the hotel is located only a 5-minute drive from downtown Paso Robles. 

Dog Friendly Restaurants in Paso Robles

Downtown Paso Robles is the place to go for grabbing a delicious meal. They have a little bit of everything from Italian, California fare, Mexican, specialty pizza, and Japanese food. The restaurants in Paso Robles are also very big on farm-to-table. Every meal you have, you know, will be made from the freshest and local ingredients.  

As a dog parent, I am sure you have noticed the increase in outdoor seating. A lot of restaurants that orginally could not accommodate dogs are now considered dog friendly. And even better, they have invested in many heat lamps and covered seating. I highly recommend making your dinner reservations in advance and including that you are bringing your dog with you.

Our Favorite Dog Friendly Restaurants in Downtown Paso Robles

Thomas hill organic.

If you only have time for one breakfast or lunch in Paso Robles, then Thomas Hill Organic has to be it! Thomas Hill Organics is an adorable restaurant that serves incredible organic dishes, where all of the food is regionally produced and comes directly from nearby farmers.

Their outdoor patio looks like a little oasis tucked away in downtown Paso Robles. It is covered, which provides indoor/outdoor seating. 

We had a delicious meal at La Cosecha . We sat outside toasty under their tent and patio warmers. La Cosecha’s menu is best described as farm to table with a Latin flair. Their dishes are inspired by Spain and South American cuisine while using fresh ingredients found on the central coast of Paso Robles.

Our table decided to order a little bit of everything from the menu and share. The paella and their pizzas were excellent. 

The Alchemists’ Garden

We loved everything about the Alchemist’s Garden. The whimsical atmosphere, the unique drinks, and the innovative menu will absolutely have us coming back again in the future. This restaurant has only been on the scene since 2020, but they mix up some of the best drinks in town.

Alchemists’ Garden is the perfect spot to grab some drinks before dinner, or you can sit down for a meal in their outdoor garden.

Tip: They do not take reservations. I suggest arriving early or putting your name down and exploring downtown while you wait for your table.

Additional Paso Robles Dog Friendly Restaurants

• Fish Gaucho: a local favorite that serves up Mexican food and margaritas.
• BL Brasserie: A French Bistro and wine bar
• Catch Seafood Bar & Grill: Enjoy fresh seafood in a cozy atmosphere.
• Springside Restaurant: Serves homey Californian fare for breakfast and lunch

Other Dog Friendly Activities in Paso Robles

When you are done visiting the dog friendly wineries in Paso Robles there are other activities you can enjoy with your dog. Traveling with a small pup, senior dog, or one with mobility issues? You may want to consider a dog stroller to help the two of you get around.

Sherwood Dog Park: You will find a 1.25-acre cross-fenced dog park with two separate play areas for big and small dogs. Sherwood is a quick 7-minute drive from downtown Paso Robles.

Vineyard Dog Park: Located in Templeton, which is the next closest town to Paso Robles, and only a 15-minute drive from downtown. Vineyard Dog Park is a woodchip dog park with plenty of shade, seating, and separate parks for small and large dogs.

Salinas Riverwalk Trail : A two-mile flat trail, 4 minutes from downtown Paso Robles. Dogs are allowed on leash.

Lake Nacimiento Shoreline Trail : Work up and sweat and exert some pup energy on a 5 mile moderately rated hike. Just outside of Paso Robles, Lake Nacimiento is about a 40-minute drive from downtown. Dogs are allowed on leash.

Pros & Cons of Visiting Paso Robles With Your Dog

Pros of Visiting Paso Robles With Your Dog

Paso Robles, California is very dog friendly, which will make planning your next trip so easy! During your stay, you will have no issues with booking dog friendly accommodations, restaurants, and wine tastings.

Cons of Visiting Paso Robles With Your dog

Depending on where you are traveling from the location of Paso Robles could cause some issues for you since it is a three-hour drive from San Francisco or Los Angeles. If your dog doesn’t do well in the car for long distances, this may be a problem for you.

Another con of visiting Paso Robles is the price. Wine tastings, hotel stay, and dinners add up very quickly. If you are traveling on a budget, consider traveling during the slow season, which is between December to February.

Wine Country Planning Guide

🗓 What is the best time to visit ? Wine tasting in California is always a good idea! However, my personal favorite time to visit wine country is in the spring . ☀️ You will have gorgeous weather, fewer crowds, wildflowers blooming, and more affordable accommodations. 🚗 Should I rent a car? Yes, if you plan on staying more than a night in Napa or Sonoma, I suggest you rent a car. ✔️ Compare the best rate for car rentals in California here 🏨 What’s the best way to book my accommodation? When visiting wine country I prefer to book hotels over Airbnb and VRBO. This is because a lot of the shared homes are too far from the wineries and they are usually pretty expensive. Booking is a reliable site to book at thousands of hotels in California. They also have a great and flexible cancellation policy for no extra fee. 🧳 What do I pack for wine country? My go to outfit for wine tasting is a flowy dress and comfortable shoes.
