Pirramimma Winery

Pirramimma is a historic family winery on McMurtrie Road with sprawling grounds and a traditional cellar door. The expansive lawns are the draw for dog owners, with plenty of room to spread out a picnic rug while you taste.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the expansive lawns and grounds, good for a picnic or a stretch, with some reports of dogs being allowed inside too. Keep your dog on-lead at all times. Bring your own water bowl and water, especially in the warmer months, and pack waste bags.

Known for. The award-winning Old Block Shiraz and a broad range of McLaren Vale wines including petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon, in a relaxed, historic setting.

Getting there. The address is 424 McMurtrie Road, McLaren Vale. There is on-site parking, though it can get busy on weekends and during events, so arrive earlier.

Nearby with the dogs. The Vine Shed nearby has spacious dog-friendly grounds, the Shiraz Trail is close for an on-lead walk, and several township cafes take dogs in their outdoor areas.

When to go. Autumn and spring suit the outdoor lawns best, and weekday afternoons are quietest. Bring shade and water for the dog in summer, since the lawns are open.
