Best Dog Friendly Vineyards in Devon
Devon’s vineyards are often tucked into valleys or perched on gentle hillsides, and dogs on leads are a familiar sight on the trails that cross them. Estates here are generally relaxed about four-legged visitors outdoors, with water bowls or a quiet corner usually provided. Service dogs are welcome throughout, but many producers go further, so a vineyard trip can be part of a longer Devon ramble.

Featured vineyards
Dogs on leads are welcomed at Sandridge Barton for tours, including the Vineyard Safari which covers both the vineyard and winery, as well as tastings. Visitors are reminded to keep dogs well-behaved and on a lead, especially due to the presence of livestock on the working farm.
Old Walls Vineyard welcomes dogs in its bistro and on the terrace, providing bowls and treats. Dogs are permitted on the working vineyard but must be kept on leads for safety due to machinery, and some of their holiday lodges are also pet-friendly with enclosed outdoor spaces.
