Went there on a windy and cloudy Saturday evening with my friend who loves wine tasting. They offer different wine tastings - Just Reds, Mixed or Custom. They also have some 'Library reserve' wines for tasting that o saw later. Each tasting has 4 wines. Between me and my friend, we got one Reds and another Custom. My favorites were there Barking Red, Sauvignon Blanc and Rose. Me and my friend shared our flights to taste as many as we could. Ordered their cheese platter to snack with the wines. They waive off the tasting fees if you buy 2 bottles. We liked their wines and bought 2 bottles each. Barking red (red blend) and 2022 Sauvignon blanc for me. Barking red and Sagrantino (red). All their wines are made in Washington. We got our dog along so we sat outside. They had outdoor seating with umbrellas, didn't see any heaters. It was manageable for us but I don't recommend that for colder days. Overall a good experience.

Wine club members beware. Good luck ever cancelling your membership or reaching anyone if you have concerns or questions. I have left multiple voicemails and emails for Fletcher Bay, for both the wine club and their marketing department, with no returned phone calls or emails. This is not the first time I have had all my attempts at communication ignored, but this is the most concerning. They recently sent a mass email to all members that they have "transferred to a new system" and to check your membership. When I did I noticed that my billing information is all correct, but another random wine club member's name and address is listed for shipping with no way for me to change it, no way for me to delete my card on file, and no way to cancel my account. If I cannot cancel online or edit any of these, and this business is ignoring all attempts for me to reach them, the only option I have left is to cancel my card. This is ridiculous. I have attempted to call them multiple times in the past years when we moved etc., with no response, but this is beyond bad business and completely absurd at this point. I regret ever supporting this business.

The staff here is so sweet and helpful with any questions you have. I recommend sharing a flight so you can have some variety before you decide on a wine. Really chill spot to have a chat with some friends.

Super awesome experience! Delicious wine and company. Wonderful to meet Sarah and Ingrid, who were not only super knowledgeable about the wines and cheese offerings but also provided some fun shop recommendations. ? Mahalo, Fletcher Bay Winery fam!

Was disappointed to learn that most of the fruit wines are only available by the bottle and aren't available by the glass or for a custom flight. We were 1 of two groups in the store and the other group was offered a sample of an unreleased wine but we weren't. The wine we had was good but definitely left feeling let down overall.

Partly by virtue of the weather (cold, rainy), we found ourselves visiting this place at 1 pm (2 hours before opening, mind you) on a weekday afternoon. We popped in, noticed the hours, and quickly decided we'd come back later. Staff was so gracious, though, as they offered to serve us despite not being technically open. We were so glad they did. We spent a good 90 minutes there, enjoying a couple of wine flights, and some delicious cheese, olives, and prosciutto.Everything we were served was top-notch, and service was outstanding. Our server/sommelier was informative and personable. If you find yourself visiting Bainbridge Island, make sure to pop into this tasting room. You'll be glad you did!

Such a nice stop for a wine flight and some snacks while visiting Bainbridge Island. Select from their prepared wine flights or customize your own (was my option when a couple of wines were out) and get a chocolate tasting or hummus tasting snack to go with and just enjoy the beauty of the island. Will definitely be back.

My absolute favorite, have-to-make-a-stop location on Bainbridge Island!! As a sweet wine lover, I'm a huge fan of their fruit wine flight, which I feel like I rarely ever see at other wineries. My boyfriend and I also got a charcuterie board to share, with local cuts of cheeses and meats. He's more of a red wine kinda guy, and loves their red wine flight. We ended up buying a bottle of the Strawberry and Tropical Breeze wines. It's conveniently located at the end of the main street, right next to the Bainbridge Art Museum and just a short walk from the ferry. The service staff are always kind and friendly, and the large sidewalk-facing windows allow for people watching while you sip :)

Great wine tasting and good food to accompany it.

Place is cute, wines are horrible. Also no air conditioning at least when we visited.
Very quaint and creative place. Service is really personable and friendly.We ordered 2 white wine tastings served in individual carafes. So 4 different blends have 4 individual carafes. Honestly this proved to be a perfect approach. We basically poured at our own pace and there was no need to wait.We then ordered the Spanish Platter of assorted Spanish cheeses and dried meats. Served with a variety of crackers, olives and dried sea salted almonds. There was more than enough for the 2 of us.Sit outside or inside along the large window seating. The view is lovely. People watching and over looking the nearby forest walk. A nice stop before hitting the ferry back

Great location. The wine is average at best. But the service is brilliant. It is a nice venue to have a drink with a date, enjoy a chilled beverage, and hang out. But their core product is not that tasty.

Walked in on a Sunday at 2pm to no wait. We ordered a white wine flight (between 2) and a cheese board between 3. The flight was a lovely and fresh selection of Washington whites, my favourite was the Dry Reisling, for 2 people it equalled just over a full sized glass each. The cheese board was plentiful, we loved the blue cheese and chill jam. It all came to $41 so I'm pretty happy with the price too.
