Bringing your Dog to the Winery
At Nashoba Valley we appreciate the importance of dogs in our lives and therefore we currently allow dogs to enjoy our farm as noted below.
Dogs are allowed in the orchard when you are picking fruit and are allowed “Dog Friendly” tables at the Vintner’s Knoll, our outside dining area. A “Dog Friendly” Table must be reserved if you wish to enjoy a glass of wine or food outside on our grounds.. If the Dog Friendly tables are sold out then we cannot allow your dog to visit. Dogs are expected to maintain a minimum 6′ space between themselves and other dogs and their owners are expected to manage their behavior. Don’t be the person that makes us alter our policies.

Dogs are not allowed in any buildings or on any patios
If an owner is observed not picking up after their dogs, allowing their dogs off leaches or their dog is being aggressive or constantly barking, you will be asked to leave the property.
Being Responsible for your dog includes the responsibility to respect other visitors and our staff who might be afraid or allergic to various animals. If you cannot follow the rules or you do not believe rules apply to you, we must request that you not bring your dog to the winery. If you are asked to leave, please understand that we are enforcing a zero tolerance policy and not open to a discussion about how it will not happen again.
If a dog has or does bother you during your visit, please let someone on a Segway to know and we will have the owner and his dog leave the premises. New rules will be implemented if the problem continues.
We therefore ask that you follow our simple rules:
- All dog owners are required to clean up and properly dispose of waste of his/her dog. We do not provide bags for disposal so owners are required to bring their own.
- Dogs acting aggressively must be removed immediately.
- All dogs must be on a leash at all times with maximum 8-foot leash. Dogs cannot be left unattended or tied to a tree or post and left unattended.
- Dogs are allowed in designated areas of the picnic grounds and in the orchards areas that are open for the picking of apples and peaches provided you have purchased a bag and are in the process of picking. Dogs are not allowed in any building or on the patio areas or porches designated as restricted.
- No dogs (except HC assisted) are allowed in any building at any time or on the outside patio area, tasting areas or porches of either the winery or the restaurant.
- It is not possible to participate in a tour or tasting with your dog and it is not possible to dine at the restaurant leaving your dog unattended. We suggest that you order picnic lunches and dine on our grounds where dogs are allowed.
- Dogs must be under control of their owners at all times.
- Owners must control excessive barking and noise.
- All dogs must be licensed and vaccinated.
- Dog bathing is not allowed.
- Female dogs in heat are not permitted.
- No dog under 4 months old are permitted.
