Your dog doesn't need to stay home while you taste wine. Greater Seattle's wine scene includes tasting rooms where leashed companions are genuinely welcome—not just tolerated. These pet-friendly wineries in Greater Seattle range from island escapes with sprawling grounds to urban tasting rooms with outdoor patios perfect for your four-legged friend.
Here's where to go when everyone in the family wants to come along.
Island Escapes Where Dogs Roam
Ferry rides add adventure to wine tasting, and both Vashon and Bainbridge islands welcome dogs at their tasting rooms.
On Vashon, Nashi Orchards Tasting Room isn't technically a winery—they craft award-winning pear ciders and perries from estate-grown Asian and European pears. The 1930s barn setting with St Croix sheep wandering the grounds creates a rustic atmosphere your dog will appreciate as much as you do. Indoor and outdoor seating options mean you can adapt to island weather, while the family-owned operation keeps things personal and welcoming.
Want actual wine? Surrounded by beautiful trees, Palouse Winery creates a secluded retreat where live music drifts through the garden on warm afternoons. George and Linda pour bold reds and crisp whites while your leashed pup explores the outdoor seating areas. Cheese, salami, and crackers available—bring a blanket, settle in, let your dog nap in the shade while you work through the wine club releases. This is what island wine tasting should feel like.
Bainbridge Island brings something different: Washington's first Certified B Corp winery. Bainbridge Vineyards spans 40 acres of shared farmland where exclusively estate-grown organic wines come from vines you can actually see. The outdoor seating works year-round (this is the Pacific Northwest—you learn to embrace weather). Farm tours welcome kids and dogs together, food vendor pop-ups and live music add energy, but those sustainable practices and organic approach give the wines real purpose. Your dog gets a farm experience; you get quality organic whites and mid-range rosés that justify the ferry ride.
Georgetown's Urban Wine Scene (Dog-Friendly Division)
Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood has quietly become a wine destination, and the industrial setting means outdoor patios where dogs can hang while you taste.
If you take Rhône-style blends seriously, Rôtie Cellars pours deep, complex Syrah-Viognier and GSM blends that demand attention. The outdoor patio welcomes leashed dogs, making this one of the rare places where you can explore premium reds without leaving your pup in the car. Good for larger groups if you arrange ahead. ($40 tasting fee, waived with purchase)
Brandee and Brian at Structure Cellars describe their space as dog-friendly, and they mean it. The 'Bartizan' Bordeaux Blend and other complex reds pair with the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to join the wine club just to come back more often. Cozy despite the industrial setting. Your dog becomes part of the tasting room community—which is exactly the point.
The Georgetown trio rounds out with Cairdeas Winery, where the lower patio provides outdoor seating for leashed dogs while you work through Rhône-inspired bold reds and crisp whites. Wine club members get exclusive access to special areas—worth considering if this becomes a regular stop with your pup.
Hidden Gems in Unexpected Places
Sometimes the best pet-friendly wine experiences hide in neighborhoods you'd drive right past.
West Seattle's Welcome Road Winery earns "hidden gem" status honestly—locals frequently recommend it, visitors struggle to find it without GPS, and once you arrive, the warm rustic space makes you understand the loyalty. Award-winning bold reds dominate the mid-range portfolio. Graze plates feature local cheeses. Indoor and outdoor seating gives your dog options, and the wine club perks keep regulars coming back with their pups in tow.
Head south to Renton. In a renovated 1940s building in historic downtown, Matt and his family at Drum Roll Wine pour 100% organic natural wines crafted with minimal intervention—this is the real deal, not marketing organic.
The tasting room hosts unique concerts, Sunday Suppers, and kid-friendly playdates where dogs join the chaos naturally. Bring your own food to complement the wines, join the national wine club for exclusive offerings, or just enjoy the cozy atmosphere where natural winemaking meets genuine community. Your dog will appreciate that this place actually feels like a neighborhood gathering spot, not a formal tasting room.
Down in Boulevard Park, family-owned Nota Bene Cellars keeps things intimate. Sustainable practices, robust mid-range reds, personalized service. The kind of place where they remember your name and your dog's name by the second visit.
