Murray Street Vineyards

Murray Street Vineyards is a family-owned cellar door at 32 Murray Street in Greenock, on the quieter western side of the Barossa Valley, and it features on the Barossa Visitor Centre's pet-friendly locations list. The outdoor terrace is the draw for dog owners: a relaxed, covered spot where a leashed dog can settle alongside the table while you work through estate shiraz and a produce platter.

Dogs at Murray Street

Dogs on a lead are welcome in the outdoor and covered seating areas, including the terrace, and the venue's own material shows guests seated with their dogs alongside them there. The main indoor tasting room is generally reserved for assistance dogs, so plan around a terrace table, and pop a note in your online booking that you are bringing a dog so the team can seat you well. Bring your own water bowl as a fallback, since supplies for pets are not guaranteed. On hot days pick the covered veranda end over the open lawn so your dog gets shade.

Worth knowing

The range is food-ready and estate grown, built on grenache, shiraz and mataro along with cabernet sauvignon and regional blends, poured as seated tastings in a rustic room with a strong local following, over 350 reviewers rate it highly. Local artisan share platters are available to match the tasting. Hours run 11am to 4pm on Mondays and 10am to 5pm Thursday to Sunday, with Tuesday and Wednesday closed. Bookings are recommended, especially for weekend platters.

Max: aim for a midweek terrace table, there is room for the dog to lie flat out before the weekend groups arrive.

Getting there and parking

Greenock sits just off the Sturt Highway, a short drive west of Nuriootpa, and the cellar door is on the town's main street with on-site parking. The quiet streets around Greenock are good for a leashed leg-stretch before or after the tasting.

Pair it with

Kalleske Wines is a few minutes down the same road, Telegraph Cottage covers dog-friendly stays in town, and Nuriootpa Fenced Dog Park is handy for off-leash time.
