The best activities in life are the ones you can do with your dog. What’s the fun in leaving your pup at home when you can take a stroll together, and maybe end up where there’s something for both of you on the menu? We are the perfect solution to the question: is there a dog-friendly wine tasting near me?
But before you get to us, why not wander around downtown Yountville? You can look at art and your furry pal can smell all the smells!
Things to do in downtown Yountville
Yountville has plenty of outdoor fun that makes a leashed walk more exciting for both you and your dog.
Whether you have an older pup that likes to stop and smell the roses, or a high-energy speedster that can’t wait to get to the next stop, the Yountville Art Walk will never disappoint. Start anywhere along the self-guided tour and walk north or south from sculpture to sculpture. Each sculpture has an identification plaque and a QR code, and you can also visit https://youraudiotour.com/tours/72/ to take an audio tour at your own pace.
Have a bite to eat
If you work up an appetite and find that your pup could use a rest and a big gulp of water, stop at one of our local restaurants for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Many of our restaurants allow dogs on their patio, but be sure to call ahead to learn about policies, as most places won’t allow you to bring your dog inside the restaurant.
- The Restaurant at North Block
- Bistro Jeanty
- Lucy Restaurant & Bar
- Ad Hoc
Find the perfect dog-friendly wine tasting near me
What’s a dog walk without a sip of wine? Be sure to find your way to Jessup Cellars for a glass, a flight, or a bottle to share with friends. Fido is welcome inside the tasting room as well as our outdoor seating area, and we even have some drool-worthy treats to reward them for being on their best behavior.
Why should you have all the fun?
There’s nothing better than getting to bring your dog out on the town with you. Both of you get to return home tired, relaxed, and closer than you were when the day started. Bringing your dog to public places is a great way to socialize them and presents lots of opportunities to teach them what’s expected of them.
Here are some tips for making your doggy day out on the town perfect:
- Give your pup plenty of exercise before going anywhere that could be challenging for them.
- Introduce a consistent routine of walking and being around other dogs, people, cats, and skateboards at a young age.
- Be consistent when you’re training—if you’re working on a specific behavior, look at your day out on the town as an opportunity to practice, and don’t give up on prioritizing the learning process for your beloved furball.
- Bring water, a collapsible bowl, and plenty of treats.
We can’t wait to see you and show you what pairing wine with dogs does; you’ll see, it’s pure joy.
