Surrey’s mix of Downs, woodland and vineyard trails makes it a good patch for dog walkers. Plenty of cellar doors are relaxed about four-legged visitors, as long as they’re on a lead.
Some vineyards go a step further, with long estate walks, dog-friendly rooms for overnight stays, and even the odd treat or menu for your companion. It’s a setting where wine tasting and dog walking slot easily together.
Dogs are permitted on the Denbies Wine Estate grounds, and dog-friendly rooms are available at the Denbies Vineyard Hotel. However, dogs are generally not allowed inside the main building, which includes the visitor centre, main restaurants, gift shop, and indoor tours, though alternative outdoor tours may be arranged by contacting the hotel.
West Fisher Winery is dog-friendly, providing 16 acres of land behind its car park for dogs to explore, with additional public footpaths available nearby.
