In my ongoing quest to have our dog with us on most – if not all – of our wine tasting adventures, I’ve uncovered more incredible, dog-friendly wineries in Paso Robles. As a rule of thumb when tasting with dogs, always bring a leash, make sure the dogs remain well-behaved, and remember to be respectful of other tasters.
Below is a list of some of my recent favorite dog-friendly spots…
Alta Colina Vineyard & Winery
- Alta Colina Vineyard & Winery

Notes: At Alta Colina, dogs are very welcome inside the tasting room while their owners try some of the winery’s award-winning wines. If the tasting room is crowded or there are tasters who have allergies, you may be asked to taste outside as a courtesy.

Notes: Edward Sellers is a very dog-friendly winery where our dog Booker was invited inside the tasting room with us. He was given a bowl of water and quickly made friends with one of the resident tasting room dogs. The two of them played inside as well as outside on the beautiful grounds.

More to come!…
We here at Cass Winery are dog friendly on our veranda and picnic area as well! Please come visit, we would love to have you and Booker out
Thanks so much, Lindsay! We would love to stop by on our next visit! I’ll email you before we head up there again…
Thank you for this info, We are heading up to the area in March and staying in Cambria with our pooch. Can’t wait for the wine tasting adventure.
Have a wonderful trip!!
Thank you so much for this blog. We also are heading up to Cambria with our dog in March and this being our first trip to the Paso Robles area I have found your info to be incredibly worthwhile. I know that wines can run the gamut of prices from expensive to reasonable. Did you find a winery that gave you the most bang for the buck? Thanks in advance if you can answer this for me.
Hi Mike! I’m so glad you found the blog useful. In terms of the most bang for the buck, I would recommend Calcareous (http://www.calcareous.com/). They’re super dog friendly, the view is absolutely stunning, and they have an entire collection of wines called Twisted Sisters that are all $20/bottle (as well as more expensive bottles). Chronic Cellars (http://www.chroniccellars.com/) is also good if you’re looking for a unique, very casual experience. All the Chronic Cellars wines are under $30/bottle (with the exception of 1 or 2). On the higher end pricing-wise, I love Booker (http://www.bookerwines.com/) and Terry Hoage (http://www.terryhoagevineyards.com/) – both of which are dog friendly. Have a great trip & don’t hesitate to email me if you have any further questions…
You are absolutely AWESOME. Thanks so much!!!!
