Kies Family Wines - Cellar Door Barossa Valley

Kies Family Wines sits on Barossa Valley Way in Lyndoch, a six-generation family cellar door with the Monkey Nut Café on site - which makes it one of the more practical Barossa stops when you have a dog and want food as well as a tasting. Dogs of all sizes are genuinely welcome here.

The dog setup. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, especially the Monkey Nut Café courtyard with its vineyard views, and are generally fine in the cellar door area beside you during a tasting. Keep them settled around staff and other patrons. Bring your own bowl and treats to be safe, though the venue is used to four-legged guests.

Known for. Barossa staples - Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon - with complimentary tastings, plus the Monkey Nut Café for grazing plates, coffee and dessert. The atmosphere is relaxed and genuinely family-run rather than polished-commercial, which suits a long, unhurried lunch with the dog.

Getting there. On the main Barossa Valley Way in Lyndoch with ample on-site parking. Driving is the only realistic way to reach the cellar door.

Nearby with the dogs. Lyndoch village has walking paths and dog-friendly cafes a few minutes away. Kellermeister and Chateau Yaldara are close and also welcome leashed dogs, so you can string together a full day.

Come for lunch and a tasting in one stop, aim for a table in the café courtyard on a warm day, and ring ahead if you want to confirm dog seating at busy times. Good for owners who want food, wine and a dog-friendly seat in the one place.
