Hollick Estates (Cellar Door, Restaurant & Winery)

Hollick Estates sits at 11 Ravenswood Lane in Coonawarra, near Penola, pairing an award-winning cellar door with the Upstairs at Hollick restaurant and panoramic views over the Wilgha vineyard. Well-behaved dogs on lead are welcome on the restaurant balcony and other outdoor areas.

The rules. Dogs need to be on lead and well-behaved to join you on the balcony or outdoor seating. The indoor cellar door and restaurant dining room are not for dogs, so plan on the balcony if you want your dog with you through a meal.

What's there. The balcony is the standout spot, with vineyard views while you eat or taste. Bring your own water bowl; staff are accommodating of well-behaved dogs but there is no dedicated pet station.

Known for. Award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon, including Decanter International Wine Trophy wins, and an Italian-leaning menu upstairs using regional produce.

Getting there. Just off the Riddoch Highway with on-site parking.

Nearby with the dogs. The Coonawarra Rail Trail, a sealed walking and cycling path, runs nearby and suits a pre- or post-lunch leg-stretch. Penola town centre, a few minutes' drive south, has more dog-friendly cafes and shops.

When to go. Lunch on the balcony is the best dog-friendly option; book ahead on weekends. Good for a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick tasting.
