“Cơm sôi nước sôi, chó chạy khắp làng” – you know the saying! The summer heat can be tough on both humans and our beloved pups. But what if there was a way to enjoy the dog days of summer while also indulging in some delicious wine? Enter the dog-friendly wine tour, a growing trend that allows you to share the experience with your furry best friend.
What is a Dog-Friendly Wine Tour?
A dog-friendly wine tour is exactly what it sounds like: a wine tour where your dog is welcome! Many wineries are now embracing the “pawsitive” trend and opening their doors to four-legged companions. These tours typically involve visiting multiple wineries in a designated area, tasting a variety of wines, and enjoying scenic views – all with your furry friend by your side.
Why Choose a Dog-Friendly Wine Tour?
Imagine a picturesque vineyard, the sun setting over the rolling hills, a glass of crisp Sauvignon Blanc in your hand, and your dog happily snoozing at your feet. This is the epitome of relaxation and pure enjoyment – and who wouldn’t want to share that with their best friend?
Here are a few reasons why dog-friendly wine tours are becoming increasingly popular:
A Shared Adventure:
For many dog owners, their furry friend is an extension of their family. A dog-friendly wine tour allows you to create unforgettable memories with your beloved companion. It’s a chance to explore new places and create bonding experiences together.
Exercise and Enrichment:
A wine tour offers opportunities for your dog to stretch their legs, explore new scents, and socialize with other friendly dogs. It’s a great way to provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend.
Wine and Dine:
Many dog-friendly wineries offer delicious food options for both humans and dogs. You can enjoy gourmet snacks and local cuisine while your dog enjoys a special treat or a refreshing bowl of water.
Finding the Perfect Dog-Friendly Wine Tour
Choosing the right dog-friendly wine tour is essential. Consider these factors:
Location:
Where are you located and how far are you willing to travel?
Dog-Friendly Amenities:
Look for wineries that offer dog-friendly amenities like shaded areas, water bowls, and dog-friendly seating.
Activities:
Some wineries offer additional activities for dogs, such as dog walks, frisbee areas, or even dog-themed events.
Safety:
Always prioritize your dog’s safety. Ensure the winery is dog-friendly and free of potential hazards, such as poisonous plants or loose grapes.
A Tail-Wagging Tale
One of the most prominent dog-friendly wineries in the region is “Vineyard Vines” in Ho Chi Minh City, owned by the renowned winemaker, Dr. Thi Nguyen. She shared a heartwarming story about a dog named “Lucky” who was a regular visitor to the vineyard:
“Lucky was a rescued dog who was incredibly shy. He was terrified of strangers and wouldn’t leave his owner’s side. But when he came to the vineyard, something magical happened. He became a different dog, running around freely and even interacting with other visitors. He discovered a sense of belonging and joy in this welcoming environment, and that’s what we strive for at Vineyard Vines.”
A Reminder:
While dog-friendly wine tours are becoming increasingly popular, it’s important to remember that not all wineries are dog-friendly. Always call ahead and confirm the winery’s dog policy before heading out.
Important Considerations:
Remember to bring:
- A leash
- A water bowl
- Dog treats
- A dog waste bag
- Any necessary medication
And always:
- Keep your dog on a leash at all times.
- Be mindful of other guests and their dogs.
- Clean up after your dog.
- Provide your dog with plenty of shade and water.
- Leave no trace of your visit.
