Cline Cellars sits on a historic Napa estate that feels more like a botanical garden than a typical winery. Fred and Nancy Cline started this family operation back in 1982, and everything they make comes from sustainably farmed vineyards. If you’re planning to visit with your dog, you can bring them into any of the outdoor areas as long as they stay leashed the entire time. Just pack poop bags and clean up after them.

The grounds themselves are what make this place special for a dog visit. There are over 5,000 rose bushes scattered across the property, five natural spring ponds, and a rescued aviary. It’s genuinely beautiful without feeling pretentious. You can reserve a picnic table on the estate and spend an afternoon with a bottle of Cline wine while your dog explores nearby grass and shade. The multiple ponds give the place a cool, park-like quality even when it gets warm in Napa.

If you’re coming with just your dog and maybe one or two friends, you don’t need to call ahead—walk-ins with parties of six or fewer are fine. Larger groups should make a reservation so the staff can set everything up properly and make sure you get good service. The winery handles its own events and usually has things organized well enough that bigger parties aren’t chaotic.

The atmosphere is refreshingly low-key compared to some other Napa wineries. People are there because they actually like wine and nice surroundings, not to be seen. Your dog will probably find the crowds manageable and the space open enough that other visitors don’t feel cramped around you.

Before heading out, check their website for current hours and days of operation since wineries sometimes adjust their schedules seasonally.
