Stormflower Vineyard

The lead. Stormflower Vineyard is a certified-organic boutique cellar door on Caves Road in Wilyabrup, with a relaxed, unhurried feel and small-batch wines. It is one of the few local cellar doors where dogs are allowed inside as well as out, useful when the weather turns.

The dog setup. Dogs are permitted inside the cellar door, so a tasting works whatever the weather, and the surrounding vineyard suits a short on-lead walk. The atmosphere is casual, with room to sit at a table with your dog beside you. As a small venue, it is best to bring your own water bowl and treats. Keep your dog leashed.

Good to know. Everything is certified organic or made with certified-organic grapes, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and sparkling styles. The Cremant and pet-nat Aurora draw particular praise. A small team gives an intimate, personal tasting.

Getting there and parking. It sits directly on Caves Road in the heart of Wilyabrup, with on-site parking and easy access to the cellar door.

Nearby with the dogs. The area is dense with dog-friendly cellar doors along Caves Road. Quiet country roads nearby suit a short walk, and regional dog-friendly beaches are a drive away; check signage.

When to go. Any weather suits given the indoor access; weekdays are quietest for the intimate setting. Good for calm dogs who settle indoors.
