very dog friendly and no problem off leash here. Main down side here is that they do not have any lawn or out of the way place to kick back and enjoy the wine. The place just needs to be landscaped better. Overall good people and the wine is great as well.

Their old hound dog Hiro died last year, but the folks at Stryker-Sonoma in Alexander Valley still love and welcome well-behaved dogs in the tasting room and picnic area. They even keep a stash of dog treats behind the bar. For humans, you can’t go wrong with any of Stryker’s Bordeaux varietals.

The Wilsons have a couple of dogs, a border collie and a mini-Aussie, who will help herd you into the tasting room. From there, enjoy Wilson’s award-winning Zinfandels, if they aren’t already sold out.
