Walsh & Sons

Walsh & Sons is a small-batch, minimal-intervention winery at Wilyabrup in the Margaret River region, and it welcomes well-behaved dogs in its outdoor areas. It is an intimate, relaxed cellar door, the kind of place for a slow tasting on the lawn with the dog beside you.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome leashed and supervised in the outdoor areas, including the rustic front and the courtyard and lawns overlooking the vineyard. Indoor seating is compact, so plan to sit outside and confirm with staff if you want to step in. Water bowls are often provided in the outdoor tasting areas.

Good to know. Walsh & Sons is known for minimal-intervention wines made for drinkability, with interesting varieties like Chenin Blanc and Grenache, plus grazing plates to go with a flight. It is open daily 11am to 5pm, with seated or stand-up tastings.

Getting there and parking. The address is 6023 Wildwood Road, Wilyabrup, off the Bussell Highway. There is ample gravel parking directly in front of the cellar door.

Nearby with the dogs. Other Wilyabrup cellar doors welcome dogs, the Boranup karri forest has scenic leashed walking paths, and Gracetown has on-lead beach areas a short drive away.

Quieter weekday afternoons suit a relaxed tasting with a dog. Bring your own water bowl on hot days, since the gravel and lawn can heat up.
