Ferguson Falls Wines Cafe

Ferguson Falls Wines Cafe is a family-run winery and cafe in the Ferguson Valley, about twenty minutes east of Bunbury, known for wood-fired pizza and lawn seating with sweeping views over the vines. Dogs are welcome outside on the lawn and in the casual garden dining area.

Dog access. Dogs can join you on the outdoor lawn and garden seating, a mix of shady and sunny spots looking over the vineyard. As a small, working cellar door and cafe, dogs are not permitted inside the main dining room. Keep dogs leashed and well behaved given the open vineyard setting, and bring your own water bowl rather than relying on the venue to have one spare.

Known for. Award-winning wood-fired pizzas (the Reuben and prawn versions get repeat mentions), a relaxed no-booking-needed vibe on weekends, and being one of the older vineyards in the valley with genuinely good views from the garden tables.

Getting there. The cafe is on Pile Road in the heart of the Ferguson Valley. There is free on-site parking right at the venue, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Nearby with the dogs. Saint Aidan Wines is a short drive away and also welcomes dogs on its lawn and courtyard. Wellington National Park has walking trails within reach for a leashed walk before or after lunch, and the wider Ferguson Valley is dotted with scenic drives through jarrah forest if you want to make a full day of it.

When to go. Weekend lunches, Friday through Sunday, are the best window for outdoor seating with a view, but arrive earlier rather than later since the lawn tables are the first to fill. Confirm current dog rules at booking if you are planning a group visit, as vineyard cafes can adjust seating on busy weekends.
