Head to the swish tasting room to try the signature Black Dog dry red or the Our Dog Blue, a blend of riesling, Traminette and Vidal Blanc. There's also a restaurant (open 11am to 2pm Wednesday and Thursday, to 8pm Friday and Saturday, and to 3pm Sunday) serving a cheese and charcuterie plate ($19) and burgers ($13 to $15) at lunch and more upmarket fare at dinner (mains $28 to $40).
