Horner Wines

Horner Wines at 237 Palmers Lane is a boutique vineyard built around a casual, personal cellar door where you can meet the winemaker over small-batch, handcrafted wines. Dogs are openly encouraged, and the rustic outdoor setting is made for them to lounge beside you while you taste.

Where the dog goes. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, on the lawns and at the rustic outdoor cellar door area, with well-behaved dogs generally able to join you through the tasting. Keep yours on a lead, clean up promptly, and mind other guests and vineyard staff. Water bowls are often provided and a pat usually comes with the welcome.

What is there. Limited-run, handcrafted wines that reflect the region, served in an intimate setting where the winemaker is often the one pouring. The quiet Palmers Lane outlook is part of the appeal.

Getting there. 237 Palmers Lane, Pokolbin, with on-site parking near the cellar door. The lane is relaxed and quiet, so drive slowly.

When to go. The outdoor focus suits a milder part of the day for a dog in summer. The quiet lane and intimate scale make weekdays especially calm for a settled visit.
