Wine Tasting with Your Four-Legged Friend
There’s something special about travelling with your pets. They’re not just animals – they’re part of the family. Whether it’s the wag of a tail, a curious sniff of a new place, or that look that says, “Are we there yet?”, pets have a way of making every trip feel warmer and more memorable.
The Hunter Valley is the perfect playground for pet lovers, with rolling vineyards, fresh country air, and plenty of space to explore together. Bringing your furry companion along isn’t just fun – it can be good for you too. Studies show that travelling with pets can reduce stress, encourage more outdoor adventures, and create stronger bonds through shared experiences.
At Horner Wines, we understand that leaving your best friend behind just doesn’t feel right. That’s why our Cellar Door is pet friendly – so you can enjoy a boutique wine tasting while your pooch lounges beside you. Take a seat among the vines, sip on small-batch, handcrafted wines, and let your dog soak in the sights, smells, and maybe even the occasional pat from a fellow wine lover.
You might even be greeted by our own resident wine dog Sunday, who proudly earned a spot in the Wine Dogs Australia book. And on many days, our kids pop in with our two cheeky sausage dogs, Piper and Freddy, who have quickly become favourites among visitors. They’re always ready to offer a warm welcome – or a request for a belly rub – while you enjoy your tasting.
Because great wine is best enjoyed with great company – and sometimes, that company walks on four legs.
