Dog-friendly Yarra Valley wineries

Where dogs go: Outside at the Garden Terrace, on a leash

Cellar door page: 'Dogs are welcome outside and on a leash.' The Garden Terrace has indoor and outdoor seating, so ask for an outdoor table.

Where dogs go: Not stated: the winery says it's 'dog friendly' (on a leash) without naming an area

Winery says 'we are also dog friendly, as long as your four-legged friend remains on leash', without saying whether that includes the tasting room. Call ahead.

Where dogs go: Relaxed outdoor dog-friendly area at the Cellar Door

Restaurant page: 'Our restaurant is unfortunately not dog friendly, however your four-legged friends are very welcome at the Cellar Door', which has an outdoor dog-friendly area.

Where dogs go: Cider Bar (dogs welcome on a lead); it opens seasonally, so check dates

FAQ: 'Dogs are welcome at the Cider Bar but must be kept on a lead.' It doesn't say whether that's inside or outside. A cider maker rather than a winery, included because it's a Yarra Valley tasting stop.

Where dogs go: Outdoor seating, courtyard, terrace and grounds, on a lead (per PawScapes)

PawScapes says dogs are generally not allowed inside the restaurant or at the indoor tasting counter. Rochford's own visit page doesn't state a dog policy. Concert days are a different story: check the events page.

Where dogs go: Outdoor terrace and garden areas near the cellar door, on a lead (per PawScapes)

PawScapes says the Locale dining room is indoors and not for dogs. De Bortoli's own cellar-door page doesn't state a dog policy, so call ahead.

Where dogs go: Not stated: the winery says it's 'a dog friendly cellar door' without naming an area

Visit page: 'We are happily a dog friendly cellar door.' It doesn't say whether dogs can come inside. Open Thursday to Sunday when we checked.

Where dogs go: The Piazza: outdoor seating, walk-in only (no bookings)

Soumah says 'the Piazza is dog friendly'. It doesn't say dogs can go in the trattoria or tasting room, so assume outside only.

Where dogs go: Small dog area out the front: two wine barrels with stools, up to 4 people and 1–2 dogs; book ahead, no roof or heating

Kellybrook: 'Dogs are not allowed inside the cellar door, on the deck or in our main garden area (oak tree and fountain area).' Dogs on lead at all times; order platters and paddles at the counter.

Where dogs go: Lawn area, on lead and under control

Yarrawood: 'Pets are welcome on our lawn area on lead and under control. Guide dogs and companion dogs are welcome in all areas.'

Where dogs go: Alfresco tables, lawns and gardens (per PawScapes)

PawScapes says dogs aren't allowed inside the restaurant or cellar door tasting room, and that the estate doesn't publish a formal pet policy. The TarraWarra Museum of Art on the same property is assistance dogs only. Phone ahead.
