Dog-Friendly Wineries in Sonoma

Experience Wine Country with Your Furry Companion

Sonoma County is celebrated for its world-class wineries and breathtaking landscapes. But what makes it even more special is that it’s a haven for dog lovers, too. With its dog-friendly wineries, parks, and establishments, Sonoma is a perfect getaway for wine enthusiasts who don’t want to leave their four-legged companions behind.

A Place for Dogs and Wine Lovers at St. Francis Winery & Vineyards

At St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, the bond between animals and nature is at the heart of everything we do. Named after St. Francis of Assisi—the patron saint of animals and ecology—we embody his spirit of compassion and environmental stewardship. This deep connection began with our founder, Joe Martin, who was a dedicated dog lover. He cherished his golden retriever so much that he designed the winery to accommodate her, even adding a special door just for her in the main administration building. Joe’s vision wasn’t just about producing fine wines—it was about creating a space where dogs and their owners could enjoy the beauty of Sonoma County together.

That commitment to pets and the natural world continues to this day at St. Francis Winery, where we offer a dog-friendly experience that celebrates animals and invites our guests to connect with nature through exceptional wine.

 

For the Love of Dogs and Exceptional Wine

At St. Francis Winery, we believe every bottle of wine should support something greater. We proudly donate up to $100,000 annually to Canine Companions®, a life-changing nonprofit that provides service dogs to individuals with disabilities at no cost. By supporting this organization, we’re creating lasting change in Sonoma County and beyond.

Since 2000, St. Francis Winery has raised over half a million dollars to further Canine Companions’ mission. Our partnership underscores our shared commitment to making a positive impact on both humans and animals in need. So, as you enjoy our award-winning wines, you’re not just indulging in a glass of Sonoma’s best—you’re also helping support a cause that makes a real difference.

For the love of dogs and great wine

 

 

 

A Celebration of Animals, Nature, and Wine

Join us for a one-of-a-kind event that showcases Sonoma County’s deep love for both animals and wine! Every year, St. Francis Winery & Vineyards hosts the Blessing of the Animals fundraiser on the first Sunday of October. This heartwarming event brings together a variety of pets, wildlife, and their humans to celebrate the special bond we share with animals. Attendees enjoy a day of good wine, laughter, and togetherness—all for a great cause. The event also serves to raise vital funds for local Sonoma County animal charities, ensuring that the love for animals and wine continues for years to come.

Another fan favorite is our Summer Solstice Celebration—an exciting event celebrating the longest day of the year. With live music, outdoor fun, and activities suitable for everyone, including your dog, it’s a wonderful way to spend the day with your furry friend. Sip wine, enjoy delicious bites, and dance the day away with your pup in tow!

Bring Your Dog for a Tasting Experience to Remember

At St. Francis Winery, we want your dog to experience wine country in style. When you visit, we’ll ensure your furry friend feels just as special as you do. From dog treats and refreshing water bowls to cooling mats for those sunny Sonoma days, we take care of all the little things to keep your companion happy and comfortable during your visit. So, grab your glass of wine, and let your dog join in on the fun too!

 

Explore Our Vineyard with Your Best Fur-iend

Take in the stunning Sonoma Valley views while enjoying a relaxing walk with your dog through our certified sustainable Wild Oak Vineyard. This self-guided tour offers the perfect opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy our wines, and share memorable moments with your four-legged friend. It’s an experience that blends the beauty of Sonoma with the companionship of your dog, creating a perfect day in wine country.

While we welcome dogs on most of our winery grounds, we ask that they refrain from joining the Wine & Food Pairing experience and the Pedal Trolley (except for service animals) for the comfort and safety of all guests.
