Ross Hill Wines

Ross Hill Wines is a family-owned boutique winery on Wallace Lane, working out of a converted apple-packing shed a short drive from central Orange. It is one of the region's higher-altitude vineyards, listed as dog-friendly, with outdoor seating and vineyard views.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, with the picturesque vineyard surrounds rather than the cosy tasting shed being the spot for them. It is a working winery, so it is best to call ahead and ask for an outdoor table, the listing flags it as a pet-friendly-on-enquiry venue. Bring your own water and bowl to be safe.

Known for. Award-winning cool-climate pinot noir, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc, sustainable farming, and a casual converted-shed atmosphere. There is also an EV charging point on site.

Getting there. 134 Wallace Lane, a short drive from town. On-site parking.

Nearby with the dogs. Philip Shaw Wines and De Salis Wines are both nearby and dog-friendly, so it slots neatly into a cellar-door run.

Best on a fine day with an outdoor table booked ahead. Good for a calm dog that settles outside while you taste.
