Greg Cooley Wines is a family-owned cellar door on the main road into Clare, known for small-batch sparkling, whites, reds and fortifieds, plus live music on weekends. It is a genuinely dog-friendly stop, with resident pets on site and a casual, welcoming vibe from owners Greg and Kelli.

Dog access. Dogs are welcome inside the cellar door as well as on the undercover deck and lawn. The venue has a resident dog and cat on site, so it is worth keeping an eye on your own dog around them and other visiting pets. Bring your own water bowl to be safe, the friendly setup suggests one may be available but it is not guaranteed.

Known for. Direct-sale, small-batch wines across sparkling, white, red and fortified styles, plus regular live music and night shows on weekends. Food trucks are often on site on weekends too, so a tasting can easily turn into a full afternoon.

Getting there and parking. The cellar door is at 12 Main North Road, Clare, with on-site parking. It sits about 700 metres from Discovery Parks Clare, handy if you are staying nearby.

Nearby with the dogs. Sevenhill Hotel, a short drive south, has a pet-friendly enclosed beer garden and veranda with water bowls for dogs. The Clare Valley Dog Park, a fenced off-leash area near the soccer pitches on Horrocks Highway, is close by if your dog needs to run before or after a tasting.

Max's takegerman shepherd
Keep your dog on lead moving between the carpark and the deck, and watch the resident dog and cat's space until you know how your own dog reacts.

Confirm current dog rules with staff on arrival, especially on live music weekends when the deck gets busy.
