Rhino Tiger Bear Wines

Rhino Tiger Bear is a small, family-run urban winery in the Dromana industrial estate, part of the Dromana Habitat cluster of local makers. It pours low-intervention wines, with a focus on pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot gris, straight from the people who make them. Dogs are welcome, which makes it an easy cellar-door stop on a Peninsula day.

The dog setup. The cellar door is intimate, often centred on a single communal table inside a working winery, so the outdoor space suits dogs best. Keep dogs on-lead and well-behaved given it is an active production area. Bring your own water bowl, as this is a small operation rather than a set-up venue.

Good to know. The draw is the low-intervention, small-batch wines and tasting directly with the makers in an unpretentious, behind-the-scenes setting. It is a genuine working space, not a polished tasting room.

Getting there. It is in the Dromana industrial estate, with street parking in the surrounding area and flat, step-free access from the road. Check current opening times before you go, as small cellar doors keep limited hours.

Nearby with the dogs. Neighbours in the Dromana Habitat, including a brewery and distillery, sit within walking distance, and the Dromana foreshore is a short drive for a beach walk with seasonal on-leash and off-leash rules.

Best for a relaxed, low-key tasting with a settled dog at your feet. Confirm hours ahead, as they can be limited.
