Your puppy dog will be adored wherever we go and will get its very own hand-embroidered P&P bandana and enjoy treats during the day (with your permission) from none other than Laila & Me. Our fabulous tour guides are happy to look after 2 dogs per tour – as long as the 2 dogs live together or know one another well and are used to socialising together.
The Details
The Full Day Tour
Take the time to enjoy a whole day out in the valley with your pooch and your own personal guide. The day has a lovely relaxed feel, with enough time to enjoy all the tastings you want (usually 3 to 4) as well as truly taking your time over lunch at one of the Yarra Valley’s most gorgeous dog-friendly spots – there’s no rushing on a full-day tour. After lunch we’ll have a lovely walk at a super local spot, or fit in another tasting – we’re all about flexibility so you get the most out of your day. And it’s fully inclusive: your tastings and lunch are included in the price, as is your pooch’s hand-embroidered bandana and gourmet treats!

Half Day Tour
We created this tour for those of you who want to visit the valley mid-week and can’t spend a full day touring with us. 😢 But if you have the time, one of our full-day tours is much more leisurely for you and of course we can fit heaps more in, AND include a beautiful lunch where you can sit back and really savour it all.
On our half-day tours, you can choose a morning or afternoon tour, and we’ll pick you up from your Yarra Valley accommodation* and take you for a gin, cider or beer tasting paddle with your puppy by your side, and then visit 2/3 dog-friendly cellar doors before dropping you back to your accommodation. Please note there isn’t time on the half-day tour to have lunch, so we recommend you have lunch before we collect you (gin tasting on an empty stomach can have curious outcomes!) :-)
*(free pick up within the Yarra Valley, additional charges apply for addresses up to 75 kms from Healesville, )
Inclusive of all tastings, hand sewn doggy bandana & doggy treats for your hound (from Laila & Me).

Puppy for a Day
‘Puppy for a Day’ let’s you do a private day’s tour with Henry (red Koolie who loves licking people) or George (white Schnoodle who enjoys cuddles, as long as they are quickly followed by a treat). They’d love to spend the day out with you, showing you all their favourite places in their own back yard – take them for a walk on the lead and enjoy their company at the pet-friendly wineries and places we visit.
Just tick that box when you enquire.
(The boys don’t charge for their time with you, but if you’d like to make a donation of up to $10, we will match it and donate it to our chosen doggy charity which this year is the RSPCA)
