O'Leary Walker Wines

O'Leary Walker Wines sits on the Horrocks Highway in Leasingham with panoramic views across the Clare Valley, and it is one of the more explicitly dog-friendly cellar doors in the region. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor lawn and verandah areas, with a treat platter on the menu for them.

Dog access. Dogs are permitted on the outdoor lawn and the front verandah, on lead at all times. Service and support animals are welcome throughout the venue. Water bowls are usually put out, but bring your own collapsible bowl as backup. Ask staff about the dog treat platter if you want to make the visit a proper outing for them.

Known for. Riesling and Shiraz from the Clare Valley, a relaxed cellar door and restaurant, and food that runs to local produce platters and dishes like paprika potatoes, all with valley views from the outdoor seating.

Getting there and parking. The cellar door is directly on the Horrocks Highway in Leasingham, with ample gravel parking on site right in front of the building. Access from the car park to the outdoor dining area is flat and easy. Bookings are worth making in advance, especially for a shaded outdoor table.

Nearby with the dogs. The Sevenhill Hotel has a large, shaded beer garden that welcomes dogs. Watervale Hotel offers outdoor dining where dogs are often accommodated. The Riesling Trail runs nearby and is a solid walk or cycle to work off the tasting.

When to go. Aim for a weekday or early weekend booking to get a shaded outdoor table before the lawn fills up. Confirm the treat platter and any lead rules when you book.
