Super cute little wine shop / wine bar tucked away off the Main Street. We've spent the day two Fourth of July's up on Orcas island, and both visits, we stopped by Doe Bay Wine for some awesome Orcas Project wines by the glass. The staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable and willing to help you decide what to get. read more

Cute wine shop with the option for wine tasting as well. They have many bottles to buy and a limited tasting menu. 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! read more

Great wines, quality selection, totally reasonable prices. The Orcas Project collection were all really good and well balanced. Sit at a table and try a flight. The good folks who work here are some of the nicest you'll meet. Actually, all the locals we met were exceedingly nice. read more

This is a small little shop right in back of a grouping of small shops. Cole is the owner and does a great job of helping you feel welcome. He's knowledgeable and personable. There's a sort behind the artwork on the wine labels and he's happy to talk with you about the friends that created the art. We sat outside and did a 5 wine tasting. We are almost finished but will bring some wine and lovely memories home with us read more

This was our first stop when we arrived for our long weekend on the Island. The wine selection was fun and we ended up with some wines we don't usually drink! Jura!!!!!!!!! We were super excited to see the cheese in the shop. We brought some back to our cabin with our selection of wines and then we came back the next day to do the same.. We had an amazing Oregon Cabernet Frank, we had to have it after we tried the Pinot Noir from Martin Woods winery.. Spectacular. The Pomerol was perfect and the Pichler Gruner was fun! So many other finds that added to our perfect weekend! Us Seattle lights are now lucky that there is a new Doe Bay wine shop in Phinney Ridge. We will be frequenting it due to the great experience we had on Orcas. read more

I stopped in to this store on my last trip to Orcas. The service was excellent and the selection was quite good. While it's important to have a good selection, having the knowledge to help guide us to the right bottle is what matters most to us. 10 out of 10, highly recommend! read more

Such a sweet little shop with endless options for the wino inside us all! We opted for the tasting flight and left with a couple of bottles. I love the variety that is offered, a carefully curated experience from light and bubbly white, to full bodied reds. We didn't opt for snacks but there was a full cheese, cracker and nut menu for light munching. The interior and ambiance is darling, full of plants and interesting art for purchase. Cole was kind and helpful, we loved our quick little stop before our ferry ride back to Seattle. If you're in the area, don't miss this great shop! read more

We read about this place on Instagram, and their website. We were looking forward to checking out the winery. This place lived up to our expectations. It's a small location. The owner has great customer service. We selected a table outside. He brought out the wines that we wanted to sample. We had 2 reds and 2 whites. They were all very good. Dry to my expectations. We purchased 2 bottles to bring home to Pittsburgh, PA with us. The downside of traveling over 2,500 miles from home, I can't take as much wine as I want to. :( If you're on the island this is a nice stop, good wine. They have other wines here. Try the Orcas Project. Loved it. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Rachel tasting through the Orcas Project. There are some gems in this store.

Had a great time visiting this shop earlier today!! A dynamic husband and wife team own this quaint little shop and make the wine experience fun and informative. There is a little wine tasting stand. The walls are lined with wine bottles, most of which I'd not seen before and the cooler has a decent selection of craft beers. Certainly a fun place to pop into while exploring Eastsound. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a quick wine tasting. We were the only ones there, so we got excellent service by the kindest young woman. We decided to share the tasting of 5 wines since we were going to go hiking later and didn't want to get too tipsy. I believe we had 6 or 7 choices and had to pick the 5 we wanted. Most of the wines she brought out were part of the Orcas Project, which is a cool, local endeavor, although most, if not all, of the grapes aren't grown on the island. We tried a variety from whites to rosés to reds. All the wine we had was tasty, and we had fun trying to pick out the scents and flavors we were picking up on. The employee spent some time with each wine giving background on the winemaker, the grapes, etc. We drank outside with a wine barrel as our table, and it was so beautiful out! Afterwards, we browsed the store and ended up buying a strawberry beer - we wanted something easy to share during our trip so that we wouldn't have to fly back home with it given that we already had 3 bottles of wine with us! read more

Full disclosure, I am an acquaintance of the owner. That being said I really believe this is a place the island needs. The shop is well curated and stocked. The inventory is a good mix of types of wine and regions. The selection is not overwhelming; it's nice for the novice to expert. The prices are on point too. They have a nice selection of beer too. They also partner with Northwest vintners to develop the Orcas Project wines. What I really appreciate is that they are about education. They are bringing wine to a community that, in the off season, tends to be more blue collar. You are reminded that wine is not for the fancy. It is about the agriculture product and hard working people people that bring it to you. Wine can be enjoyed just like a beer. Wine used to intimidate me until I learned about what it reall is. Go in, ask questions, try new things... trust me you will love it. Locals and vistors go in support this local business. read more

Great wine. I would rate this place an 8/8 because the wine was gr8 and the service was gr8. Very good wine and generous pours. What's not to love read more

A happy accidental find, the husband wife owners were friendly, down to earth, extremely knowledgeable and helpful choosing a wine. Love the art work on their bottles (bespectacled animals - very Wes Anderson-esque) embodies the whimsy of the company but shouldn't be taken any less seriously as very stand up wines! read more

Well curated selection of wine, beer and in betweens. I love trying the new small batch brews or picking up a bottle for dinner.

All three of their duo tastings were great (and almost a glass of wine each), and the rest of their selection is excellent. I'd be thrilled with a shop like this in downtown Seattle, so kudos to them for setting up in Eastsound. read more

Wonderful wines and knowledgeable staff. I stopped in to get a couple of bottles to take to a dinner party off island with some very discriminating friends who know much more about wine than I do. The staff member helped me select a couple of Orcas Project wines both of which were well received. The Graciano was a huge hit-my wine collector friend called it a "revelation"! read more

We visited Doe Bay Wine Company in 2017 and loved it. The owners are a very nice couple who are passionate about wine and offer a selection that one would not expect to find outside of Seattle. We returned in 2018 and are even more pleased. They now offer wine flights and cheese and charcuterie boards. We tried both white and red wine flights, a cheese board, and marcona almonds. We made a light lunch of it. Highly recommend the Orcas Project wines. read more

Tucked away in a little cluster of bright buildings down the path past the ice cream shop is a great little neighborhood wine shop with a world class selection of thoughtfully curated wines. The owners are on site to offer tastings and help guide you to the wines that suit your pallet. One of the only spots to purchase a bottle of The Orcas Project wines too. Welcoming to the novice too. read more

A fine addition to Orcas Island. Stephanie and Cole fill a unique niche. They have a wide range, from affordable to (somewhat) pricey. What we most appreciate is a wide and ever-changing selection of interesting, unusual, and very drinkable wines around $20. They are highly knowledgeable but without the stuffiness that usually comes with expertise. They are good at assessing your tastes and making excellent recommendations. The most important thing you get here--as opposed to the other wine sellers on Orcas--is good advice. The wines from their own "Orcas Project" have ranged from good to great, and, once again, are not the usual suspects--no Cabernet and Chardonnay here. This has become our go-to source for wine. I guess we must be those "blue collar" "off-season" folks another reviewer referred to. read more

This was an excellent find on my trip to Orcas Island! My friend and I went to the wine tasting, which was only $5, and we loved it so much that we made a point to go every day for the rest of our trip. Each time, we got to try 6 new and different wines, including champagne, whites, reds, and rosé. The shop has a nice selection of wine, beer, and cider from local sources and other places around the globe, all at very reasonable prices. The service was excellent, and the owners were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They were very approachable and glad to answer questions about the variety of products. I will definitely go back on all future trips! read more

In addition to amazing wine, Cole and Stephanie are wonderful people! So great to see them thriving! Highly recommend wine tasting while in Eastsound, and dont forget to buy a few bottles!!! read more

A visit to Doe Bay Wine Company is so worth the trek to Orcas Island! Their shop is adorable and has a huge selection of wine from all over the world at all price points. The owners, Cole and Stephanie, are warm and knowledgeable. We purchased their Orcas Project wines, which were delicious. We cannot wait for more Orcas Project wines to be introduced this year and many more visits to the shop on our trips to Orcas. read more

Fantastic Boutique wine shop in the heart of eastsound village on Orcas Island. Very knowledgeable staff and great selection of beer and wine, local and far-reaching. The husband and wife owners and purveyors also have their own wine, The Orcas Project, which my wife and I bought and loved. I will definitely be back, and recommend anyone local or visiting orcas to stop in for a taste. read more

The Doe Bay Wine Company is a real gem and a welcome addition to the island!!! Just stop in and you will see it for yourself. Great selection, fair prices, knowledgeable owners, lovely atmosphere, and wine tasting to boot. It's a unique experience and worth a trip. I was in the quaint little shop yesterday (I am a local) and found an eye opening selection of hard to source wines. Bravo! read more
