Holm Oak Vineyards

Holm Oak Vineyards is a family-owned cellar door on West Bay Road in Rowella, on the West Tamar, known for cool-climate Pinot Noir locals nickname The Wizard, alongside Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris.

Dog access. Pets are allowed, but Holm Oak asks that you let staff know before bringing a dog into the cellar door, since their own resident Maltese Shih Tzu can be territorial. The spacious outdoor lawn is the easier option for a dog-friendly tasting or picnic, and it is scenic enough to be worth the extra step. Bring your own water bowl and treats, as the setup here is geared to wine service rather than dog facilities.

Known for. Cool-climate Pinot Noir is the headline, backed by Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris, plus local cheese and charcuterie platters. The vineyard is sustainable tourism accredited.

Getting there. The address is 11 West Bay Road, Rowella, reached via West Bay Road (C724) on the West Tamar. On-site parking is available, and there is EV charging on site.

Nearby with the dogs. Iron Pot Bay Vineyard is close by at 7 West Bay Road and also welcomes dogs, making it easy to pair the two on one trip. The West Tamar Highway offers scenic driving routes and walking trails along the river for a stretch of the legs before or after.

Weekday mornings tend to be quietest if you want the lawn to yourselves. Confirm current opening hours before driving out, since cellar door hours can shift seasonally.
