Ugly Duckling Wines

Ugly Duckling Wines is a small, family-run cellar door on West Swan Road in the Swan Valley, with a rustic cottage tasting room and an outdoor deck looking out over the vines toward the Perth hills. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor seating, making it an easy stop on a Swan Valley wine trail.

Dog setup: Dogs are welcome in the outdoor dining and deck area, not inside the small cellar door tasting room. Keep dogs leashed and under control at all times. Staff are reported to be friendly toward visiting dogs, though it is worth bringing your own water bowl rather than assuming one will be provided.

Known for: Small-batch, locally grown wines, gourmet pies, and generous platters. There is live music most weekend afternoons, which can mean a busier, noisier deck for a dog that is not keen on crowds.

Getting there: The winery is at 7790 West Swan Road, West Swan. On-site parking is available near the cottage entrance.

Nearby with the dogs: The Dogs Breakfast Cafe is close by in West Swan and sits next to an enclosed dog park, a good pairing for a coffee stop before or after tastings. The surrounding country roads also make for a pleasant walk.
