Sbragia Family Vineyards sits about ten miles south of Healdsburg along Dry Creek Road, a scenic drive that winds through the heart of Geyserville wine country. The winery welcomes dogs throughout the property, which means you can actually bring your dog with you while you taste wine—something that’s not guaranteed at every spot in Sonoma County.

The tasting room itself gives you options. There’s the bar inside, a sun-drenched terrace with views out over the vineyards, and a cozy wine library room. Your dog can hang out with you in any of these spaces while you work through their tasting flights. The staff seems genuinely used to having dogs around and will usually offer water and sometimes treats, though you shouldn’t count on that being part of the formal experience.

What makes this place actually work for dogs is the space. The grounds are expansive enough that your dog isn’t cramped or stressed by being confined to a tiny patio. You can take breaks between tastings to walk around, and there’s enough room to let your dog decompress a bit. The vineyard setting itself is peaceful—not the kind of scene where you’re worried your dog is going to cause a problem by being restless.

The winery is family-owned, which often means a more relaxed approach to visitors and their dogs. But policies can change or have specific details that matter (like whether dogs can go everywhere on the property or just certain areas), so it’s worth checking what the current guidelines are before you make the drive out.

If you’re spending time in the Healdsburg area and want to do a wine tasting that actually includes your dog as a normal part of the experience rather than something you have to apologize for, this is a solid choice.
