Anderson Winery

Anderson Winery is a boutique, family-owned cellar door on Hoolans Road in Wahgunyah, minutes from Rutherglen off the Murray Valley Highway. It is a small, rustic operation with a personal feel, and reviewers consistently note how welcoming it is to dogs, which is part of its charm.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on a lead, with shaded outdoor areas to sit. Some visitors report well-behaved dogs being allowed inside the small cellar door too, which is unusual for the region, but confirm on arrival rather than assuming. There is no fee for bringing your dog, and water is often available. Keep dogs under close control near other guests.

Known for. Sparkling reds are the signature here, alongside premium Muscat and Topaque. It is a smaller, traditional, hands-on experience rather than a large commercial one.

Getting there and parking. On Hoolans Road off the highway in Wahgunyah, with free on-site gravel parking right by the cellar door, so unloading the dog is simple.

Nearby with the dogs. Rutherglen has a 24-hour off-lead dog park and a dog-friendly pub in town for a meal afterwards, plus regional walking tracks for a leg-stretch. Several other local wineries also welcome dogs outdoors.

Best on a quiet, fine day given the intimate scale. Bring your own bowl as backup. Good for calm dogs and owners who like a personal, low-key tasting.
