SOUMAH of Yarra Valley

SOUMAH of Yarra Valley is a Northern Italian-focused winery in Gruyere, known for its elevated views over the vines and a relaxed outdoor Piazza where well-behaved dogs are welcome.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed in the outdoor Piazza Bar and on the surrounding lawns, where you can settle in with pizza and wine while your dog rests by the table. They are not permitted inside the formal restaurant or at the cellar door tasting counter, so this is an outdoor-only visit. Keep dogs leashed at all times on the property. Call ahead on 03 5962 4716 to book a table in the dog-friendly Piazza area, since seating there is limited.

Known for. SOUMAH specialises in cool-climate wines including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir alongside Northern Italian varieties like Nebbiolo and Brachetto. The Piazza serves casual antipasti, wood-fired pizza and cheese boards, with views across the Gruyere valley.

Getting there and parking. SOUMAH is at 18 Hexham Road, Gruyere, a scenic drive from Coldstream or Healesville, with a free onsite car park.

Nearby with the dogs. The Yarra Valley Trail has walking sections connecting to nearby townships, Margaret Lewis Reserve in Coldstream is a quiet option for a walk, and Healesville, about 10 to 15 minutes away, has several dog-friendly cafes.
