We took a nice ride yesterday out to the vineyards, which are very, very dog-friendly. Our first stop was Martha Clara Vineyard, in Riverhead, NY.
They are open year round and, they have dog walk programs once a month throughout the winter and then more frequently in the spring! Yesterday, when we parked the car, we were greeted by these guys -
Finn went over to investigate...
And then Finn went over and made friends with some of the goats. We think she really wanted to get inside that pen to play.
Time to head inside for what we came for. What'll it be, Finn? White or red?
The staff was so friendly and really didn't mind having Finn in there. Biscuits suddenly appeared from behind the bar and everyone was happy!
We sniffed around the gift shop too...
And then Finn found me in the tasting room enjoying my glass...
And helped me pick out a bottle to bring home.
You'd think one stop was enough, but no, no, Momma needed another glass. So, off we went to Macari Vineyards in Mattituck, NY.
Taking a little stroll outside before we head into the tasting...
Can I try some Momma, can I? Can I? Can I?
No, no, it was enjoyed by just Momma. The staff here was so friendly as well and they all came out from behind the bar to give Finn a nice hug or two.
A great outing indeed! Everyone went home very happy!
Aren't wine tours fun Finn?? Sure does look like you enjoyed yourself!! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
ReplyDeleteNow that's Mom's kind of outing :D Me, I'd wanna play with the cute lil billy goats too :D We don't have any wineries here in Florida. At least none that Mom knows of. She luved goin on the wine tours in Napa Valley though when she was in California :) Thanks for the great tour and fun memories :D

Now that's fun for everyone. Momma thinks your momma has the right idea for dog walkies. Finn I'm with you pal... let me in with the sheepballs. Hours of fun there. I wish we were closer- we'd meet up with you for that walkies.

We would love to go on one of those wine tours with you, Finn. Biscuits??? That is wonderful, we think we would hang out in that bar for a good long time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday.

LOL, sounds like Mom had a terrific time. What a fun trip for everyone. That is so great that you could go Finn. I bet you wanted to herd those goats Finn. You would have had a blast. Take care and have a super Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWow Finn - your journey to the vineyards was fascinating. We can't wait to go exploring but Miss Karen is getting us adapted to the cold weather and long car rides.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds and looks like a great trip. How super to meet goats up close and personal. And, it's nice you got to go inside too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
pawhugs, Max
What a lovely dog friendly trip
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tour and dog friendly 4 paws up to them, I enjoyed going along with you. Yes my mom would have stopped for another glass to :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good week
See Yea George xxx
WOW!! THAT was a super DUPER outing. I think MORE places need to allow US to come in. Don't you???
ReplyDeleteThat looked a great place for a visit - and dog-friendly too. Wish there were more places that welcomed us dogs! Love from Magic xx

Finn - those biscuits sound delish right now! I wanted to let you know that I gave you an award - check out my blog to see :)

Did you get to play with the goats, Finn? That's so cool the winery staff let you come in and look around with your pawrents. Hope you didn't wake up with a hangover this morning.
ReplyDeleteThat sure sounds like a great outing, Finn. You sure were lucky to go with your parents! And ya know what? One glass is never enough!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day for you and your humans Finn. Biscuits for you and wine for them...yep great! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an exciting trip. Wish I lived close by.
ReplyDeleteNow that sure did seem like a pawsome outing Finn. I sure am glad that you enjoyed the cookie tour, oh yea, wine tour.
ReplyDeletewoos, Tessa
Sounds like a nice day trip you all had. Sure is nice that they are poochie friendly. So pretty with the green grass out there too.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I wish my mom could take me wine tasting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! Thanks for taking us along on the mini-trip! How nice when places are canine-friendly! Looks like you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteSure you had a great time at those places!
ReplyDeleteYou found there very nice friends, right?
Kisses and hugs

Sounds like the kind of outing I would like. Finn, I've got to tell you something....you have the cutest tongue. I love those pictures in which you stick your tongue out. Just so adorable. I really looks like you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteWow -- you are so lucky to go have a fun day like that! I think those goats wanted to play with you too. Mommy doesn't know much about wine. She knows one is served chilled and one is room temperature. She probably would have went with the one that is room temperature (is that the red one?), your dad person was all bundled up -- must have been cold outside.
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun! And how cool that the staff loved Finn.....but then again, how can they not? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!!!
ReplyDeleteStop on by for a visit

Wineries are a great place to visit with us along! They are so pet friendly and Mommy and Daddy have fun too!! Ours serve really good biscuits too! Glad you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteDoggy Kisses,

Good outing, Finn! We like to visit the Oregon Wineries too. Every summer there is a dog day called 'Canines Uncorked'!
ReplyDeleteWyatt
Howdy Finn, what a great day and how good is it that they have a day when dogs can go walking there. Yay. We live near the Barossa Valley in South Australia, which is also renowned for its wines. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day of wine tasting, Finn.:) Looks like everyone had a blast.:)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Teddy Bear & Sierra
Now that's a great way to spend a day! How fun!
ReplyDeleteFinn, goats cows biscuits and wine. it is the makings of a country song. only a dog from montana would say that! BOL
ReplyDeletelooks like you all had a great outing!
Woof! Woof! So COOL! you were able to tag along ... Golden FUN! Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteFinn, that sounds like a wonderful adventure. We don't have many dog friendly places down here so Fenris doesn't get to go many places with the Mom.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to vineyards. Is sounds like a nice place to visit, but it is unfair that you couldn't try any wine!
ReplyDeleteHi mi piace molto il tuo blog... ed il tuo cane è veramente fantastico.
ReplyDeleteBuona serata.
