Xanadu Wines

Xanadu Wines is a prestigious cellar door and restaurant on Boodjidup Road, a few minutes from Margaret River town, and it welcomes dogs on leads in its outdoor areas. The draw is doing a tasting or a long lunch on a shaded verandah with the dog stretched out beside you.

The dog setup. Dogs on leads are welcome on the outdoor verandah and in the surrounding garden areas. Dogs are not inside the restaurant or the main indoor cellar door, so plan to sit outside. The outdoor seating is spacious and shady, with plenty of room for a dog to settle. Staff often bring out water bowls, but a portable bowl is worth packing.

Good to know. Xanadu is known for award-winning Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon and a well-regarded restaurant built around seasonal local produce, set in lush grounds. It is a polished venue, so a calm, settled dog suits the room best.

Getting there and parking. The address is 316 Boodjidup Road, Margaret River. There is ample free, flat parking in front of the building, with easy walk-on access from the car park to the verandah.

Nearby with the dogs. The Margaret River dog park in town is a good energy-burner before or after, and Surfers Point at Prevelly is about 10 minutes away for coastal views.

Aim for mid-morning or an early lunch for a quiet spot on the verandah, before the lunch service fills the outdoor tables.
