Lobethal Road - Winery

Lobethal Road Wines sits at 2254 Onkaparinga Valley Road, Mount Torrens, roughly 40 minutes from Adelaide in the Adelaide Hills. The draw for dog owners is the outdoor courtyard garden: a shaded, off-the-verandah space with panoramic vineyard views where dogs are genuinely welcome alongside you.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard garden only, which provides shade and spectacular views across the vineyard. Fresh drinking water is available for dogs in the garden. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times, and they are restricted from the indoor mudbrick cellar door. No specific pet fees apply.

Known for. Cool-climate wines including Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, served from a rustic mudbrick cellar door set amongst the vines at the base of Mount Torrens. There is a seasonal lunch menu featuring local produce, running Thursday to Monday, plus curated local cheese platters (especially well-regarded on Thursdays and Mondays). Reviewers consistently highlight food presentation, value for money, the garden area and charming staff.

Getting there and parking. Located on Onkaparinga Valley Road between the towns of Lobethal and Mount Torrens. On-site parking is available. Hours are Thursday to Monday, 11am to 5pm, closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nearby with the dogs. Other Adelaide Hills venues in our directory within a short drive include Golding Wines in Lobethal and Tilbrook Estate, also in Lobethal. Both are wineries, useful if you want to string together a relaxed afternoon across two cellar doors without a long drive between them.

Best suited to a calm outdoor lunch with a dog content to settle on a lead beside your table. Arrive early on weekends for a courtyard spot with shade, particularly if you want the cheese platter on a Thursday or Monday.
