We didn't need reservations, we were able to get helped and seated right away. The two hosts were helpful and friendly. They don't offer food, so you are able to bring your own. Pets were allowed, they even had a dog bowl available. Seating was all outside, some covered, some not, and heaters were available.

Blankets and parasols being provided was a nice touch. All 3 of the wines we tried were tasty! Will definitely visit again. Bonus: dog friendly!

Rudest owner on the island…read more If you enjoy being barked at by an agitated dog while the owner mocks your concerns, this is the place for you. We went out of our way to visit this winery, only to be met with total hostility. The owner's refusal to leash his incredibly obnoxious dog is irresponsible, but his attitude toward us was the real dealbreaker. My mother in law has been bit in the past, and was so uncomfortable. Plenty of other spots on Orcas Island actually value their customers, skip this one. The dog chased our car on the way out.

I'm taking this place down a couple stars for a few reasons. 1. They charge $5 for a tasting. Most places in Washington (outside of Woodinville) don't charge you for tasting, and if they do they waive it if you buy a bottle. Not here - you get charged no matter what. 2. They will not go the extra step to make a sale. They assume everything they have is wonderful (it's not) and you should buy it irrelevant to whether you've tried it. We love wine tasting, exploring new wineries and vineyards and most places we go we've found that once you've started a nice conversation with your pourer and they realize you actually want to taste wine and not get drunk, and then buy wine, they'll give you a couple more options if you're interested. Not here - what you see it what you get. 3. It's over-priced. The wines were average for Washington State, but they were charging high-end prices. I don't know of many wineries in Washington that are selling their malbecs for more than $20 a bottle.

I went in with a group of 7 and that was close to the max amount of people that could comfortably sit inside the shop! Definitely best for smaller groups! The tasting flight was pretty expensive ($32 for 4 wines) and I don't believe the fee was waived when bottles were bought. The staff were super nice and knowledgeable! They brought us some small plates, including these mini deviled eggs that were delicious! They told us they wanted to start doing fun pairings with different countries and specialized foods based on the country!

In the past, we were able to enjoy a wine tasting and a sit back and relax and have a glass of wine. It's a smaller establishment, but they offer seats outside as well. This past time I was disappointed to learn that I wasn't able to enjoy a glass of wine. The lady mentioned that you can taste only, but she was willing to get me a small sample. I purchased a bottle of wine to go. However after speaking with Cole and understanding his other adventure it all made the most sense to me on the reasoning. If you're on the island, definitely check these guys out. They have other wines offered at the Doe Bay Wine Co, but stick to local and try the Orcas Project. What they are doing with all of the different wine makers helping make different wines for the Orcas Project is brilliant and provides everyone an opportunity to shine.

With a key interest in supporting the local agriculture community, we strive to create quality wines and ciders that reflect the story behind the glass. Terroir, which is a sense of place reflected through taste, textures, and aromas, is the inspiration for our wines and ciders. We chose to focus on natural winemaking styles, which include spontaneous fermentations, zero filtration, minimal intervention, and much more. Natural, to us, means crafting wine and cider the way it was made for years. We do not manipulate our products but allow them to reflect the terroir and purity of fruit. An important distinction for us is that our products contain zero residual sugar. Natural wine ferments all the way dry and achieves balance through rest and age.
