Best Dog Friendly Vineyards in West Sussex

West Susex makes a strong claim to be the county with the most dog friendly vineyards in England. Both Tinwood and Ashling Park have dog friendly accommodation, and Kinsbrook and Ashling Park have restaurants that welcome dogs. Add to that exccellent walks across the South Downs and you can see why West Sussex is a favourite amongst wine lovers with pets. Outside of the vineyards that go above and beyond to be dog-friendly you'll find that most vineyards welcome dogs in outdoor spaces, so you can stroll, sip, and share the moment with your pet by your side. With such welcoming vineyards it feels less like a logistical challenge and more like a shared mini-adventure.

Ashling Park Estate

(Favourite) (Visited)

Ashling Park is one of the more dog friendly vineyards - not only are dogs weclome on tours, in the tasting room, and in the on-site accommodation, they're even allowed in the restaurant. They will need to be kept on leads - to stop them chasing rabbits as much as anything. You may even see the owner's dogs out for a walk, and you will definitely see them illustrated on the estate's vodka, gin and rum bottles!

Tinwood Estate

(Favourite) (Visited)

Tinwood Estate welcomes well-behaved dogs throughout the estate, including their lodges, provided they are kept on a lead at all times. Dogs are also permitted on vineyard tours and in the tasting areas.

Kinsbrook Vineyard

(Favourite) (Visited)

Kinsbrook Vineyard is incredibly dog-friendly, welcoming them not only in outdoor areas but also in their restaurant and farm shop.
