Our guide and driver, Rudy, was equal parts lovely and knowledgeable about wines in general as well as about the wine regions in Washington. We toured Novelty Hill, Enoteca at Chateau Ste Michele, and Efeste, and came home with 5 bottles we purchased. Bon Vivant is highly recommended! They do larger groups, too, not just private tours!

05/24/2026 TASTING…read moreROOM I loved visiting this winery and can't believe I didn't the few other times I traveled to Seattle. They do a summer concert series, and it was the first one of the season. My friend and I got there early, and only one other group had started lining up for VIP. So we went to the tasting room and grabbed seats at the bar. They were offering a $30 "Take Away Flight" with both red and white wine options. I got three reds and the white that they promoted for the summer concert series. All of them were pretty good. I loved how the wine flight was presented (see photo). I would definitely go back just to hang out at the winery next time and drink more. SUMMER CONCERT SERIES I thought the concert would be well organized since this isn't their first time. However, the staff seemed lost when it came to when and where the VIP check-in would be. We had Soundcheck VIP tickets for Yellowcard, and didn't get to go in until like 45 minutes after the scheduled time. So that cut into the VIPs' early entry time. Fortunately we got to the merch tables right before they let general admission in. There were plenty of porta potties. A decent amount of food options. We got a burger and chicken fingers & fries. Of course they offered wine, as well as beer. You also had the option to buy wine bottles at the winery and bring it into the concert area. We sat front row, which had a great view, but it was also right in front of a walkway, so that was a bit annoying. Watching soundcheck and the concert itself was very fun. Overall a good experience, and I would go back!

Michelle is nice, but don't expect a true wine-tasting experience. The staff rushes you from the moment you arrive and tells you how long you have the table before you even sit down. They don't seem very enthusiastic about the wines, don't show you the bottles, and don't seem very knowledgeable about what they're serving. The food was actually great, but our server even asked us to go to the front to order it. Overall, the service felt very rushed and unorganized. The place was packed and seemed overbooked. I would skip it if you're looking for a relaxed, enjoyable wine-tasting experience.

The wine tasting was also enjoyable - all 3 wineries made a point to have the owner say hello and welcome us and it was fun to learn about Washington wine and compare it to the usual California wine we typically enjoy. And to top it off the catered dinner was great! We got to linger and enjoy each stop and then got dropped off very close to the ferry so we could head home. What a great time that we will be sure to recommend to others who are visiting Seattle!

The wineries varied along with the types of wines, so if you have a preference on wineries or wine I recommend sharing that with Ramon as he is open to suggestions and makes it the best experience possible.

Don picked us up from our house and we spent the day touring bourbon and whiskey distilleries. We discovered a world that we didn't know existed, and we've been living in Seattle since 2004! We got to sample a LOT of different bourbons and whiskeys and ended up bringing some excellent ones home, after learning about the different varieties of each kind. All in all an excellent experience!

Bainbridge Vineyards popped up on Yelp and seemed to be one of the better wineries on the island. There was a little parking lot out front we were able to find parking at. When we left there seemed to be a lot of overflow parking along the gravel path. They had live music playing that late afternoon. We decided to do a wine flight tasting which was a lot of fun. There were seating options outside by the tasting room and music. We ended up sitting back in their more green space on some adirondack chairs. This place felt like it was for all ages. We saw everyone from babies to seniors. The space was such a vibe and it was a wonderful place to catch up on summer stories. We ordered our drinks up front and the woman who served us was kind. It was a seat yourself type of place and bus your own table. I loved how local it felt. I really liked the wines we tried on the flight too! I'd recommend this spot.
