30 minutes outside of Portland, Ruby Vineyard is a family-owned and operated winery with delicious wines and stunning views of Mount Hood. They are pet friendly and not only are well behaved dogs allowed on the property, they are also welcomed inside the tasting room.
Located between Forest Grove and Gaston, OR, another great family owned winery is Plum Hill Vineyards. They're extremely dog friendly here and even have a fenced dog run out front! You and your pup can enjoy a pinic here while taking in the gorgeous views of Mt. St. Helen's and Mt. Adams.
A favorite pit stop for us located right in the Pearl District. Tea bar offers a great selection of teas all made fresh to order. Our personal favorite is the matcha bubble tea. It's a great pit stop for a drink or snack (they offer vegan soft serves and baked goods as well) and there's plenty of seating indoors and out at all their locations. The best part is they are dog friendly and always have fresh water bowls out for your pups!
Tin Shed is located on the artsy Alberta Street. Here you'll find great food for you and your pup. One of the reasons why we love coming to Tin Shed aside from their excellent brunch is because of how dog friendly they are. Not only is there ample seating inside for you and your dogs, they also have a dog menu which includes dessert! Mochi and Taro love the Doggie Dessert.
This is a favorite hike of ours located on the Oregon Coast. About 1.5 hours from Portland, Cape Falcon is a relatively easy hike around 5 miles round trip. We love hiking through the forest filled trail up to the viewpoint. Here you'll find beautiful spanning views of the ocean as well as Neahkahnie Mountain.
Lost Lake is a very popular destination, especially in the summer months. We love coming to Lost Lake and paddle boarding on the blue water while taking in Mt. Hood. About a 2 hour drive from Portland, Lost Lake is a great spot to come and enjoy nature. You can make it a day trip or rent cabins. We love that you can rent SUPs (stand up paddle boards), kayaks, and canoes here and bring your pups onboard! If water isn't your thing, hiking around the perimeter of the lake can also be lots of fun for you and your dog.
Short Sand Beach is our favorite little beach on the Oregon Coast. While it is a hotspot for surfing and boogie boarding, it is also a great beach to come and relax. About a 1.5 mile hike in and out from Cape Falcon, the trail here is easy and well kept. If hiking from Cape Falcon isn't on your itinerary, it is only a short walk from the Oswald West State Park's main parking lot. Many people bring their dogs here to run along the stretch of sand and we love playing fetch here
One of Portland's most popular shopping streets, NW 23rd has a great variety of shops and restaurants. Many of them are also dog friendly making it possible to spend a whole day with your dog! Grab a sidewalk table at one of the many restaurants and cafes or pop into dog friendly shops like Sloan, Paper Source, and The Hip Hound.
North Mississippi Avenue is another great place in Portland to shop and dine with your pup! Pop by some of our favorite restaurants and bars with outdoor seating like ¿Por Qué No?, Matt's BBQ, Prost! and Stormbreaker Brewing. You can also shop your heart away at a variety of dog welcoming shops like Pistils Nursey, Sloan and Salty's Pets
Who doesn't love grilled cheese? Bring back the childhood nostalgia with a melty grilled cheese and the crust cut off or make it a bit more grown up with all the extras like grilled onions, roasted red peppers, and brie. There's plenty of outdoor seating here for you and your dog!
They have a wide selection of local beers on tap and delicious food. The outdoor patio is huge and has plenty of seating for you, your friends and your pup!
