Sip, Stay and Stroll: A Dog-Friendly Hunter Valley Guide 

Bring the whole family along for your next Hunter Valley escape - paws and all. With dog-friendly cellar doors, dining spots and accommodation across Wine Country, there’s no need for your best mate to miss out. 

Cellar door hopping, paws included

A Hunter Valley getaway naturally calls for a cellar door or two, and there are plenty of places where your dog can come along for the experience.

Across the region, you’ll find dog-friendly cellar doors offering everything from outdoor lawns and terraces to welcoming indoor spaces, so you can settle in for a tasting without leaving your pup behind.

Head to our Pet-Friendly Cellar Doors guide to find a spot that suits your plans. Then it’s simply a matter of choosing your tasting and  finding a comfy spot for your four-legged companion.

Good food and better company 

The Hunter Valley has a growing collection of pet-friendly restaurants and cafés, making it easy to build a day around good food without having to take your pup back to the accommodation first.

Find your next breakfast, coffee or long lunch via our Pet-Friendly Dining guide.

A table outside, something delicious on the plate, a local wine in the glass and your dog right by your side. That’s a Hunter Valley lunch done right.

Why head home when you can stay a little longer?

There are pet-friendly accommodation options throughout the Hunter Valley, from country stays and self-contained cottages to hotels and other properties where dogs can join the getaway.

Spend the evening unwinding after a day exploring, wake to the quiet of the country and start all over again the next morning.

Browse our Pet Friendly Properties to find the right stay for you and your pup.

*Every venue and accommodation property has its own pet policy, so it’s always worth checking directly before you visit or book. Some may require dogs to remain on-leash, welcome pets only in certain areas or ask that you let them know in advance.
