De Iuliis Wines

De Iuliis is a modern, family-owned cellar door at 1616 Broke Road, well regarded both for its wines and for being a genuinely pup-friendly stop. The grounds are pleasant and the welcome relaxed, which makes it an easy mid-loop pull-in with a dog.

Where the dog goes. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas and, at times, inside the tasting room. Keep yours on a lead throughout and settle into the casual outdoor seating, which is the comfortable default. Bring your own water bowl as a courtesy.

What is there. A relaxed, informative tasting built on standout Shiraz and Semillon. There is also four-bedroom pet-friendly accommodation on-site, so this can anchor a whole weekend rather than a single tasting.

Getting there. 1616 Broke Road, reached via Hermitage Road or McDonalds Road. On-site parking sits immediately outside the cellar door.

When to go. A weekday or earlier slot keeps the room and grounds calm. If you are staying on-site, the dog gets the run of a longer, unhurried visit rather than a quick stop.
