Dog-Friendly Wineries in Fauquier: Delaplane's Dog-Paw Vineyards
Fauquier's Delaplane wine country is where Northern Virginia vineyards learned to love dogs, and the county's wineries remain some of the most dog-friendly in the state.
The Delaplane Dog Circuit
Barrel Oak Winery & Brewery in Delaplane is the legend: water bowls, dog treats, and acres of lawn where the dogs run the introductions, open daily. Three Fox Vineyards lets well-behaved dogs roam the property, putting Fauquier in rare company for off-leash tolerance. Aspen Dale Winery at the Barn welcomes pets in its rustic barn setting. Together the three make a perfect dog-winery day: pick one, stake out the lawn, pour a flight, and let the pups be the entertainment. Fauquier is quieter and more rural than Loudoun's wine country, which suits dogs that prefer room to sniff to a tasting-room crowd.
Places, hours, and pet policies can change with the seasons, so confirm details before you go. And if your dog has a favorite NOVA spot I haven't mentioned, I would love to hear about it.
All the best, GG
