Ascot Vale's permanent food truck park The Ascot Lot is making a name for itself as one of the most dog-friendly spots in the west. It's already held multiple pup parties — which have included gravy, bottomless drinks and daiquiris — and after a relative quiet 2020, the park is bringing back Pooches & Prosecco.

Running from 12pm on Saturday, February 27, the dog-friendly session will feature lots of cute fluff balls and lots of sparkling wine. Victoria's Story Wines and Zilzie will both be on-hand to do some tastings and selling glasses and bottles in the dedicated Prosecco Bar, which you can then enjoy in The Ascot Lot's sprawling beer garden.

You can pamper your pooch in the 'puppy mall' and even book them in for a free health check between 12–5pm thanks to Vets on Call. Don't have a dog to bring along? Maybe you can change that. There will be a chance to adopt over the weekend, with Second Chance Animal Rescue coming along with some adorable pups in need of a forever home.

A fresh lineup of vendors will ensure that there are food options galore, too — including Crepes for Change, Pearl of the Quarter and Take Mie Out — and four-legged guests will even get free treats.

Pooches & Prosecco runs from 12–10pm.
