Josef Chromy Wines

Josef Chromy Wines is a premium Tasmanian winery, cellar door and restaurant at 370 Relbia Road, Relbia, about 10 to 15 minutes' drive from central Launceston. The defining draw for dog owners: well-behaved, on-lead dogs are genuinely welcome on the front lawn and in outdoor seating areas, making it a practical lunch or tasting stop if you have your dog along.

Dog access and setup. Dogs are permitted on the front lawn areas under mature trees and in the outdoor seating zones. They are not allowed inside the main restaurant or the cellar door tasting room, so plan your visit around outdoor dining. Dogs must remain on a lead at all times. Water bowls are often provided, and staff are accustomed to well-behaved dogs visiting. If you are booking a table, request outdoor seating so there is no ambiguity on arrival.

Known for. Premium Tasmanian wines, especially Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling, plus the casual "Let's Do Lunch" experience featuring platters that are regularly enjoyed out on the lawns. The setting is a tranquil vineyard and garden environment, which is what makes the outdoor dog-friendly access genuinely worthwhile rather than a grudging afterthought.

Getting there and parking. The address is 370 Relbia Rd, Relbia, TAS 7258. It is roughly a 10 to 15-minute drive from central Launceston. There is a large, free, gravel parking lot on-site. If you are relying on a taxi or rideshare rather than driving yourself, confirm with the operator that they allow dogs in the vehicle before booking.

Nearby with the dogs. For a run before or after your winery lunch, Hoblers Bridge Reserve Fenced Dog Park in nearby Newstead is a fenced off-leash option. Clove Cafe is a dog-friendly cafe in Newstead for a second stop. If you are making a weekend of it, Coach House Launceston is a dog-friendly stay in Launceston.

Best approach is to book an outdoor table for lunch, request a lawn spot, and arrive with your dog lead-ready and settled. Keep indoor spaces off your route and you will have a relaxed vineyard lunch with your dog alongside you.
