Lowe Family Wine Co

Lowe Family Wine Co is a certified organic and biodynamic vineyard on Tinja Lane at Eurunderee, about ten minutes from central Mudgee, and it is one of the region's most genuinely dog-welcoming cellar doors. Dogs are welcome across the grounds and the staff are known to keep water bowls handy, so it works as a relaxed, spread-out stop rather than a quick tasting.

The dog setup. Well-behaved dogs on a lead are welcome on the terrace and across the sprawling lawns, and reports suggest friendly dogs are tolerated inside the cellar door too, though outdoors is the easy default. This is a working farm with livestock, so keep your dog close and well away from the animals. Staff often have water bowls and the occasional treat, but bring your own bowl to be safe.

Known for. The estate is a pioneer of Zinfandel in Australia and works with low-intervention, biodynamic winemaking. The on-site Zin House restaurant runs a seasonal shared menu built around the property's own gardens, and there are house-made produce hampers at the cellar door.

Getting there and parking. It is a straightforward ten-minute drive from town on Tinja Lane, Eurunderee. There is ample free parking on site.

Nearby with the dogs. Di Lusso Estate and McIntosh Estate are close by in the Eurunderee wine district and both welcome dogs in their outdoor areas. The Cudgegong River walk in town is a good shaded leg-stretch before or after a tasting.

Come on a weekday or early on a weekend for the calmest run of the lawns, and book ahead if you want the Zin House rather than just a tasting. Good for social dogs who are relaxed around other animals.
