Barmah Park Restaurant & Cellar Door

Barmah Park is a cellar door and restaurant on Moorooduc Highway, pairing modern Australian food with a deck that looks over the vineyard. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, so you can settle in for a long lunch with the dog beside you and the vines in view.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor deck, which is semi-covered and offers some shade. They are not permitted inside the main restaurant, so book or ask for an outdoor table. Staff often bring water bowls, but bring your own collapsible bowl to be safe. Keep your dog leashed and settled around other diners and staff.

Good to know. This is a full sit-down restaurant rather than a quick stop, with a well-regarded menu (slow-cooked lamb and beef brisket draw praise) alongside tastings of the estate wines including Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. Weekends are busy.

Getting there. Find it at 945 Moorooduc Hwy, directly on the highway and easy to reach via Peninsula Link. There is a free, spacious on-site car park with accessible spaces. Hours vary by day and it is closed Monday and Tuesday, so check before you go.

Nearby with the dogs. Several dog-friendly Peninsula wineries sit within a short drive, and the dog-friendly beaches at Mornington and Mount Martha are a quick trip on.

When to go. Arrive early or book ahead on weekends to secure a deck table, since the outdoor seating is where dogs go and it fills. Good for a leisurely lunch rather than a flying visit.
