When you choose to bring your dog to the winery with you, everyone wins (including us). Your dog gets an adventure full of new smells and new faces, plus your tasting experience is made even better by pairing it with pats on the head for your best pal. Not to mention, our staff is delighted to see four paws walking in beside you.
We’re ready with treats whenever you are.
Many wineries in Yountville allow for dogs to accompany you, but there are often policies in place to ensure a great experience for you and other guests. This guide is designed to help you find wineries near you that allow dogs and make sure you’re prepared for the adventure.
Tips For Planning a Dog-Friendly Winery Outing
Scout out the wineries near you, visit their website, or give them a call to ask about their pet policy. Get the scoop before you pack up the car and use the following checklist to have the best winery visit you can.
Get foundational training established
Public places are a great way to reinforce training methods, but you want to make sure your dog understands what you expect of them. Getting your training down will make your winery trip a bonding experience for both of you, and you might impress some fellow visitors, too.
Give them a good walking-to
A winery visit is your turn to relax, so make sure you arrive with a happily tired doggo. Give your pup a good long walk, run, or romp before you head to the winery. This will ensure that they’re able to relax with you all afternoon.
Be prepared
Bring everything you need—treats, training tools, a water bowl, and maybe even your fur babies’ favorite toy to keep them occupied.
