They say a dog is man’s best friend. But do not forget about a cat who many feline lovers would argue that they are a man’s best friend. Regardless, a pet is part of the family. And when a family travels and there is no convenient way to watch for those other members of your family, you may want to take your fur kids along with you on your trip. That also holds true when you want to visit a winery. But what wineries are pet friendly and will accept you and the rest of your family?
Usually, dogs are seen at wineries including the “typical” winery dog, so even though there are different pets, pet friendly usually means dog friendly. Some wineries are dog friendly outside only, although some allow dogs inside. Water bowls are also available at some wineries.
Remember though to check with the winery first to make sure of their conditions and always keep your pets on a leash!
Here are some Texas wineries that have been noted to be pet friendly:

We try to be pet friendly and flexible at Salado Winery. In June 2016 we hosted a “Dog Daze” event and had a couple hundred dogs!
Thanks for the update!
Lied!!! Totally lied! Woodrose was in no way pet friendly to my puppy. Texas wineries like woodrose are not friendly to pets. I hope singing waters and pillar bluff hold true as we love them so’
That’s pretty harsh. Glad you at least had a good experience at Pillar Bluff.
Perissos near Kingsland is dog friendly. They have lots of picnic tables outside to sit at.
Thank you. I’m surprised we somehow skipped Perissos.
Singing Waters not only has a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere and a number of excellent wines, but they are definitely dog friendly (their Sweet Luke wine is named after their beloved yellow lab, Lupe). Your pups are welcome inside and out though not inside during wine club pick-up parties. I take my two 60-lb dogs there often. This is hands down the most dog-friendly winery I’ve been to in TX.
