A Tail-Wagging Cellar Door Trail for Wine Lovers and Their Furry Friends


Get ready to leash up, sip up and sniff out some fun – because on Saturday 11 October 2025, the Coonawarra wine region will host its first-ever Woof & Wine Walk - a quirky, tail-wagging cellar door trail designed for wine lovers and their furry best friends.

More Than a Wine Tasting

From puppuccinos to pup pedicures, this is not your average wine tasting. Participants (both two- and four-legged) will stroll between six iconic wineries, enjoying tastings, gourmet bites, and a host of dog-friendly experiences along the way.

“We wanted to create an event that celebrates the fun, laid-back lifestyle of our region - while also welcoming the growing number of dog-loving travellers,” says Dan Redman, co-organiser of the event.

“It’s a unique and relaxed day out for the whole family - dogs, kids, and all. We’re encouraging visitors to make a weekend of it and enjoy everything Coonawarra and the Limestone Coast have to offer.”

Highlights include:

✔️ Six cellar doors with dog-friendly experiences

✔️ Take-home tasting glass for humans

✔️ A welcome gift for each pup

✔️ A donation to animal welfare charities RSPCA SA and South East Animal Welfare League (SEAWL)

✔️ Yappy Hour, paw-sonalised wine labels, and a dog treat market

✔️ Contests like Best Dressed Dog and Dog & Owner Look-alike

The event is self-paced and relaxed, offering a unique new way to explore one of South Australia’s most celebrated wine regions.

Tickets start at $35 (early bird pricing ends 13 September) and spots are expected to fill quickly.

Whether you're a Coonawarra local or a visitor with a taste for wine and wet noses, the Woof & Wine Walk is set to be a highlight on the spring event calendar.
