Hay Shed Hill Wines

The lead. Hay Shed Hill Wines is a casual, welcoming cellar door on Harmans Mill Road in Wilyabrup, home to the Rustico tapas restaurant. Dogs on leads are welcome across the outdoor areas, including the patio, lawn and Rustico's covered outdoor section, so it works for both a tasting and lunch.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on a lead in the outdoor areas: the spacious patio, the lawn, and the covered outdoor area at Rustico. They are generally not in the indoor seated tasting room. Water bowls are available. Keep your dog leashed, as there are usually other patrons, staff and dogs around.

Good to know. The wines span a big range of 25-plus styles, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Spanish Tempranillo among them. The on-site Rustico does a well-regarded tapas menu on its covered patio, a strong spot for a long lunch with a dog. Hours are generally daily 10am to 5pm; closed some public holidays.

Getting there and parking. Find it on Harmans Mill Road in the Wilyabrup sub-region, with ample on-site parking at the cellar door. Groups and buses are by appointment only.

Nearby with the dogs. Stormflower Vineyard is a nearby dog-friendly cellar door. Rustico's nearby bed and breakfast is also dog-friendly. Quiet country roads suit a short on-lead walk.

When to go. Daily service makes it flexible; book ahead for Rustico, especially weekends. Good for sociable dogs comfortable around crowds and other dogs.
