Macquariedale Organic Wines

Macquariedale Organic Wines is a certified organic and biodynamic vineyard on Pinnacle Road in Canobolas, high on the slopes of Mount Canobolas. It has a strong local reputation as one of the friendliest cellar doors in the region for visitors bringing dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the grounds and verandah while you taste, and can settle in the grassed areas around the cellar door. A lead is required, and since resident animals are sometimes around the property, keep your dog close and under control. There is plenty of open outdoor space for a dog to relax while you enjoy a tasting or grazing platter. Some travellers mention overnighting on site in campers or motorhomes, but treat that as something to confirm directly with the winery rather than a guaranteed option.

Known for. Certified organic and biodynamic wines, often paired with a varietal wine experience and grazing platter using local produce. The cellar door itself is a converted shed with elevated views across the Canobolas region.

Getting there. Roughly fifteen to twenty minutes from Orange CBD, on Pinnacle Road high on the mountain's slopes. On-site parking suits both cars and campervans.

Nearby with the dogs. Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area is close by with walking trails and wide views, though dogs need to stay leashed there as it is a conservation area. Orange CBD has plenty of dog-friendly cafes with outdoor seating for afterwards.

A relaxed, scenic stop for a well-mannered leashed dog, especially if you are already working your way around the Canobolas wineries.
