Essential Tips for a Smooth Dog Friendly Wine Tour in Santa Ynez
A memorable visit to a dog friendly winery starts with preparation. Here are key tips to ensure your wine tasting adventure in Santa Ynez is enjoyable and hassle-free:
- Leash and Love: When you keep your dog on a leash you ensure the comfort and safety of all winery guests.
- Packing for Two: Remember to bring water, snacks, and toys if needed to keep your pet happy and hydrated throughout the day.
- Mind the Space of Others: Remember, not everyone may enjoy the company of dogs. Keep yours close and under control to respect others’ space.
- Tidy Up: It’s important to always clean up after your pet when they leave any mess in and around the winery. Bring bags for waste and take your dog to relieve themselves in appropriate spots if neeeded.
- Know the Rules: Before visiting, check the winery’s pet policy (we can’t guarantee our list is 100% accurate, despite our best efforts) including any size limits.

This compilation includes details from various Santa Barbara County and Santa Ynez dog friendly wineries travel sources and our own experiences. The Santa Ynez wine landscape is constantly growing, meaning this list likely doesn’t not cover all options.
Not finding a winery here doesn’t mean it’s not welcoming to dogs. For specific inquiries, Destination Drivers is happy to help confirm these details.
