The tasting room sits at the edge of the vineyard with an open patio that catches Anderson Valley’s afternoon light. Wentworth’s own dogs move through the property, and the owners clearly spend time here with their animals—a detail that signals how the space functions. Picnic tables face the vines, and the informal setup makes a dog’s presence feel natural rather than tolerated. The patio gets shade, and staff will point you toward water for your dog.
Dogs are allowed on the patio and grounds but cannot enter the tasting room building itself. Most of the time is spent outside anyway. Wentworth offers food pairings with tastings—charcuterie and cheese boards work well for sharing a table with a dog nearby. The tasting fee is reasonable, and they pour several estate wines made on-site. The property sits directly on Highway 128, the main route through Anderson Valley, so parking and access are straightforward. Small group sizes mean quieter afternoons, especially on weekdays.
The vineyard property allows strolling between pours, though this isn’t a formal hiking destination. The valley floor here is relatively flat, making walks easy for dogs of any ability. September through October brings the most comfortable temperatures. If you’re touring multiple Anderson Valley tasting rooms in a day, Wentworth’s dog-friendly patio setup makes it one of the easier stops to coordinate with a dog in tow.
