Shottesbrooke Vineyards

Shottesbrooke Vineyards is a family-owned cellar door at 121 Foggo Road, McLaren Flat, known for sustainable, award-winning wines and a relaxed welcome. It is a well-established dog-friendly destination, with one source noting dogs are allowed off leash, so confirm the current arrangement with staff on arrival.

The dog setup. Dogs are often permitted inside the cellar door, so you can taste with your dog settled comfortably, and there are pleasant outdoor areas to lounge in too. Water bowls are typically provided. While off-leash has been reported, keep the lead handy and follow staff direction for the comfort of other guests.

Good to know. The wines lean into award-winning shiraz, grenache and cabernet sauvignon, made with a sustainability focus. The Currant Shed restaurant sits on the same property. Proceeds from their Art Collection range support Greyhounds as Pets South Australia, a nice touch for dog people.

Getting there. Ample on-site parking sits immediately outside the cellar door, and it is roughly a 40 to 50-minute drive south of Adelaide.

Nearby with the dogs. Other dog-friendly McLaren Flat cellar doors are close by, and the quiet vineyard backroads suit a leashed stroll.

Best timing is a relaxed weekend if you want the restaurant in the mix, or a quiet weekday for the cellar door alone. Confirm the leash arrangement before letting yours off.
