Comstock Wines sits in Dry Creek Valley, just outside Healdsburg, and it’s one of the few wineries in the area that actively welcomes dogs during tastings. The winery focuses on Sonoma County grapes, and you’ll taste that terroir in their lineup—the wines here reflect what grows well in this specific valley rather than chasing trends from elsewhere.

When you visit, you can taste indoors or head out to the outdoor patio, which is where things get good if you’ve brought your dog along. The patio overlooks the vineyard land, and there’s enough room that your dog won’t feel cramped while you’re working through a flight. The staff here doesn’t treat dogs as an afterthought; they’re genuinely set up for it, which makes a real difference when you’re trying to relax with a glass of wine and your dog in tow.

The vineyard views from the property are legitimate—rolling rows of vines, and depending on the season, you might catch the valley in different stages of the growing cycle. If you’re not the sit-down type, you can walk through parts of the vineyard itself, which gives you a sense of how close the grapes actually are to where you’re tasting them.

Healdsburg’s town plaza is close enough that you could spend the morning wine tasting here and then head into town for lunch, though you’ll want to check ahead about their specific tasting hours and any reservations they might recommend during busy weekends. The outdoor setup makes this a genuinely comfortable place to spend an afternoon with your dog rather than leaving them in the car or at your hotel.
