Indian Peak Vineyards is a family-owned winery in Manton where you can bring your dog along for wine tasting. Located in the quieter reaches of Tehama County’s wine country, it’s worth the drive if you’re exploring the Shasta Cascade region and want to include your dog in the experience.

The winery produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Port, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. You’ll taste through their lineup while taking in the vineyard setting, and your dog can come with you—no need to leave them behind at your rental or in the car. The atmosphere here is genuinely relaxed, the kind of place where a winery visit feels more like visiting someone’s property than a formal tasting room experience.

Manton itself is a small, rural community, so this isn’t a destination winery with extensive amenities or crowds. It’s more of a straightforward stop if you’re road-tripping through the area with your dog. The setting is rural and peaceful, which works well if your dog does better in quieter environments without a lot of foot traffic or noise.

The dog-friendly policy is straightforward—they allow dogs on the premises, which is refreshing in wine country where policies can be unpredictable. Since it’s a smaller operation, it’s worth checking their website before you head out to confirm current hours and whether they have any special events happening. This is the kind of place where a quick call or website visit saves you a wasted drive on a day they might be closed or hosting something private.

If you’re in the area exploring the quieter side of Northern California wine country with your dog, Indian Peak Vineyards offers a low-key tasting experience without the formality you’ll find at larger operations.
