Pet Friendly Wineries to Visit in Northern Michigan
There’s no better way to enjoy Northern Michigan’s beauty than with a glass of wine in hand and your best furry friend by your side. At Omnivet, we love seeing pets join in on their family’s adventures — especially when it means making the most of our region’s beautiful outdoor spaces. As the leaves turn vibrant shades of gold, red, and amber, it’s the perfect time to explore some of the region’s most pet-friendly wineries — places that welcome wagging tails right alongside their guests.
Whether you’re planning a cozy weekend getaway or a spontaneous day trip, here are a few of our favorite spots where you and your pup can sip, stroll, and soak in the season together.
