Tamber Bey Vineyards sits on the Sundance Ranch, a 22-acre equestrian property in Calistoga where thoroughbreds are trained alongside grapevines. The winery itself occupies a converted 15,000-square-foot covered riding arena—a detail that gives the space an unexpectedly open, airy feel compared to typical tasting rooms. Established in 2013, it’s become known for its award-winning wines, and the setting reflects that interesting blend of wine country sophistication and working ranch atmosphere.

Dogs on leash are welcome to explore the grounds and relax on the outdoor patio while you taste. The landscape here is genuinely pleasant for a walk with your dog—you’re looking at vineyards and ranch property rather than being confined to a small courtyard. There’s actual room to move around, which makes a real difference when you’ve got a dog in tow. The vibe is relaxed enough that your dog won’t feel out of place, especially if they’re used to being around people and other activity.

The fact that this is an active equestrian facility means the property has a different character than typical Napa wineries. You might see horses being worked or trained, which some dogs find interesting and others find distracting—worth knowing depending on your dog’s temperament. The covered arena turned tasting room is genuinely cool as a space, and it means you’re not entirely exposed to intense summer heat while you’re tasting.

Napa Valley wine country can feel overwhelming with options, and most places have fairly similar setups. Tamber Bey’s combination of a functioning ranch, the architectural quirk of the converted arena, and genuine dog accommodation makes it worth a stop if you’re in Calistoga. Bring water for your dog and expect to spend a couple of hours if you’re doing a full tasting. Check their website for current tasting fees and reservation requirements before heading out.
