The chefs at Steeles Gate Winery are a creative bunch and they like to change the menu each month. So here is the menu for March 25 2022.

We kick off with some essential dog socialising to allow them to meet and greet their new doggo friends safely.  Feel free to arrive early and take a swim at the beach or stroll along the foreshore - we have wet paws covered with Bella's seat covers.

Then all aboard Bella for a leisurely drive out to Steels Gate Winey in the Yarra Valley.

This is a casual evening, where you are welcome to lounge on the grass with our picnic blankets or take in the breath taking views from the balcony. Either way your doggos will be close by to check for nibbles.

Steels Gate Winery is a boutique estate and their focus is on strengthening environmental sustainability across all facets from vine to final wine production. Both vineyards have been converted to to dry-grown with a 'minimal intervention' approach which includes majority organic fungicide spraying and no use of herbicides or pesticides and their wines are vegan friendly.

We offer small group boutique style tours where you get to meet  other Peeps and Paws. This provides for a welcoming environment for solo travellers and friends alike.

Bella The Dog Friendly Bus has 45 seats, so you will have plenty of room with larger dogs getting 2 seats

This tour is capped at 15 dogs
