Iron Pot Bay Vineyard

Iron Pot Bay Vineyard is a small, boutique cellar door on West Bay Road in Rowella, set around a historic 1907 cottage, pouring cool-climate wines from the Tamar Valley with relaxed, owner-led tastings.

Dog access. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, mainly in the outdoor lawn and garden seating area where visitors are also encouraged to bring their own picnics. Keep dogs on a lead given the relaxed garden setting and other guests nearby. Bring your own water and bowl, as there is no dedicated dog station.

Known for. Boutique cool-climate wines and personalised tastings, often guided directly by the owners, Julieanne or Ashli. The garden picnic setup is a genuine drawcard.

Getting there. The address is 7 West Bay Road, Rowella, on the western side of the Tamar River. On-site parking is available. The cellar door generally opens Thursday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm, but confirm current hours before visiting since they can change.

Nearby with the dogs. Holm Oak Vineyards is a short walk or drive away on the same road, so the two make an easy pairing for a dog-friendly winery afternoon. The West Tamar Highway has further scenic beach and walking spots if you want to extend the day.

Go with the shorter opening window in mind, Thursday to Saturday only, and call ahead to confirm hours and that the garden is free for a picnic rug before you drive out.
