Once you’ve fueled up, head over to Centennial Dog Park (501 Browns Valley Parkway). Unleash your pup for some fun in the sun. Just remember, shade is limited, so pack your own water and seating for a comfy day out.

Now, it’s time to savor some local flavors. Head to the Suisun Valley, the “Petit Sirah Capital of the World”. Numerous dog-friendly wineries dot the landscape here. Start with Wooden Valley Winery (4756 Suisun Valley Road, Fairfield). This family-owned winery dating back to 1933 lets you sip a glass of wine while your furry companion explores the outdoor areas.

After lunch, explore the great outdoors at Lagoon Valley Park. This 470-acre park offers boating, fishing, hiking, and picnicking, and even a dedicated dog park. It’s an ideal location to burn off lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

As the day winds down, head to Craft & Cork in Suisun City (700 Main Street, Suite 104). This dog-friendly taproom offers a wide selection of craft beers and fine local wines.
