Pet-Friendly Winery Along the Sonoma Coast Offers an Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventure for Dog Days of Summer: Barkuterie Boards and Doggy Treats
FRIDAY through SUNDAY, July 12-14
July 1st, 2024 — Black Kite Cellars, a family-owned boutique producer of site-specific Pinot Noir and Chardonnay primarily from Sonoma County’s ocean-kissed, coastal appellations, is excited to welcome dogs to the property for Pooches & Pinot, Friday, July 12 – Sunday, July 14, 2024. Furry friends are constant companions, so why leave them at home while you have all the fun? As the summer heats up and the temperatures rise inland, head out to the Sonoma Coast, where temperatures are generally 20 degrees cooler.
Located just seven miles from the Pacific Ocean’s coastline, Jasper House is Black Kite Cellars’ newly opened wine tasting room in Freestone, California, and is a welcome retreat for any traveler seeking an adventure off-the-beaten path, and perfect for those traveling between the inland Sonoma County areas to the dog friendly beaches along Bodega Bay.
Black Kite Cellars’ Jasper House is designed to reflect the breezy, bohemian, laid-back vibe of the rugged yet inviting California coast. It offers a truly unique tasting experience: Black Kite Cellars is the only wine producer with a tasting room in the Freestone Historic District – a charming, blink-and-you-miss-it kind of hamlet.
WHAT: Guests and their dogs will enjoy a relaxing afternoon of wine tasting on the inviting al fresco patio, underneath the shade of umbrellas and towering redwoods. Customers and their dogs can expect a few perks:
- People Treats: As summer heats up, Jasper House is the perfect place to cool off with some bright Meursault style Chardonnay and cool-climate Pinot Noir. Signature tasting flights include Black Kite Cellars’ currently released wines from the Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley appellations, along with selected library wines from the cellar.
- Doggy Treats: Dog days of summer aren’t complete without signature “Barkuterie boards” with dog treats and goodies for the furry guys. Guests also have the opportunity to take ‘doggy and me’ photos in front of Black Kite Cellars’ signature artistic bodega signage, creative murals painted by renowned artist Michael Duté, capturing the perfect Instagrammable content. And of course, there will be plenty of water for the thirsty four-legged pals.
