Who let the dogs out… to go beer, wine or cider tasting?! A better question is, “who let the dogs in?”. If you are looking for Dog-Friendly places along the Great Ocean Road, then keep on reading…
Tastes of the Region is a Dog-Friendly Great Ocean Road tasting room in Apollo Bay. Dogs are not only allowed inside the Tastes of the Region building but there is also a “Dog Wall of Fame” to hang up a free polaroid of every dog entering the doors. A brilliant way to honour the canine patrons and give their owners something to boast about over a pint or two. We also sell Paw Blonde and PawSecco… A big cheers to the four legged and hairy punters! The Great Ocean Road Brewhouse next door also offers a dog-friendly beer garden overlooking the Apollo Bay foreshore.
Chances are pretty high your furry friend will be showered with affection by staff and fellow patrons. The staff always keeps water bowls and doggy snacks on hand so your pooch doesn’t have to miss out on the palate-pleasing action. We want our four-legged customers to feel just as comfortable as our two-legged customers!
We want to make the Great Ocean Road a dog-friendly place! Bring your dog along and enjoy local beer, wine and cider tastings, live music, plus a fantastic selection of local produce.
Other Dog-Friendly places along the Great Ocean Road:
Marengo Beach
When it comes to dog-friendly beaches, you can’t beat Marengo Beach in Apollo Bay. Marengo Beach is a leash-free beach which is a short walk away from the Great Ocean Road Brewhouse and Tastes of the Region. How convenient is that?
Parks and Waterfalls
The majority of regional parks and forests around Apollo Bay allow you to bring dogs with you, assuming that they’re on leads. Take your four-legged friend for a relaxing (or challenging!) walk through the Otways lush rainforest and visit some of the breathtaking waterfalls.
