We started with a great wine trail for dog lovers and we have had more requests for dog friendly wine tasting trails. We are adding in some dog friendly restaurants in Paso Robles, CA as well as a place that does dog wine trail tasting tours for you with a designated driver and even pet clean up service! Your furry buddies are going to be so happy to share the rolling vineyard hills, the fresh air and other happy dog lovers with you!
