The best wine around! We really enjoyed our time here with the phenomenal service and delicious choices of wine. A welcoming environment with outdoor and covered seating with board games making it easy to stick around.

When I walked in there were 2 people standing at the serving desk with their glasses, I think tasting there? I'm not sure. Other reviews detail needing to come up to the front for every tasting and I don't really mind that as I'm young and spry but.....as I waited 2 things became evident. I was their youngest patron by easily 30 years (I'm in my 30s), and the guy behind the counter wasn't interested in greeting me. I waited a bit until the older couple (that blew up behind me like their butt hair was on fire as I came through the door) and watched them get greeted, albeit with no warmth or personality. I literally said f*ck it and I need to use the bathroom anyway. I did so. And I reconsidered as every time I get these vibes from a place, my experience is average at best....I also considered the fact that the 3 - 4 groups of patrons present were old enough to be my grandparents and...eh...let's just say I don't feel like being lectured by the boomers on my appearance today, I'd rather relax. Just as well, as by the time I opened the bathroom door, I almost couldn't leave for the crowd in front of me. Good thing the door didn't open outward lol. Anyway, I came to Bainbridge Vineyards which I loved last time, and I do feel as a women owned and run business is far more outgoing and friendly. So here I am, no regrets. Take stock for yourself, but honestly, I wouldn't try again. It sounds like this has been a long-standing issue that's gone unaddressed and I'm not a fan of that either.

This place is great. My girlfriend and I did a wine tasting course with Forest. He was very helpful and informative. Anytime we’re back in the area we’ll definitely visit again.

We stumbled upon this winery when we were visiting the island a few years ago. We joined the wine club and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. We look forward to our wine shipment every time! Now we get to have a pleasant gift for ourselves several times a year. :)

A great place, very friendly and have great wines. Tasted five wines, all excellent, and went for the 2021 Syrah. It's a shame we couldn't buy more, but we can't take that much in our baggage! We'll be back over next year

Unapologetically awful!! As other reviewers have mentioned the people that run this business are straight up rude.
My partner & I had a wine membership and never did we get asked for our IDs when coming for a tasting. It's obvious that if we have a membership we are over 21 otherwise how else do we have one? Unless they are implying that they give out memberships to minors.
We went in with the intention of buying a bottle for new years & even though they were able to pull up our account and verify our identity the lady working that night decided not to serve us because she "couldnt verify our age". Again, are minors here allowed to hold wine memberships? She sure was implying that by saying our wine membership with them was not enough to verify we are over 21. Ridiculous! How did we sign up in the first place then?
Im not against, asking for an ID, this wouldve been understandable if this was always the case, however having never been rejected in our prior visits, we found it odd and incosistent to say they need our IDs to pour yet it was surprisingly never an issue in the past. I also have a problem when a business does not admit they did anything wrong, instead they front this behavior where it feels like their customer is fighting to be heard! Talk about ghetto customer service.
I wanted to leave a bad review right away after leaving but as a business owner myself, I thought let me reach out & give them the opportunity to make it right. They obviously didnt.
Instead of apologizing and owning up that it's not right to reject serving current members and recognizing their incosistent practices, (if you say an ID needs to be present to pour then have that be the standard across the board) the owner did nothing to offer a resolution or empathize with us! I even pointed out that they didn't even care for our business & Jill didnt deny it.
So then, why would I continue to support a business that treats their customers as if they're not valuable? I'd rather take my money elsewhere! Glad they gave me the opportunity to speak about my negative experience with them, so they can start the new year knowing what they need to improve upon and take some godamn accountability. Nasty customer service. As countless others have said, we will never be back!

We had a nice wine tasting at Eleven! Unfortunately our pours got progressively smaller as we went through the flights we ordered, but everything we tried was tasty. The space in front of the bar is small, but there's a larger back room and outside seating as well.
Great service, forest and Karli are super friend and very helpful.

A must if you’re stopping by downtown Winslow on Bainbridge. The tasting room is a great meeting spot for locals and visitors from all over the world! We are very pleased with our membership the last 2 years. The staff is amazing, the wine is better than most of what you will find around town and the tasting menu gives a great entree into plenty of options.

Don’t waste your time. There are better wineries on the island. We did a tasting flight of 5 glasses of wine that maybe equaled out to one glass of wine for over $30. Everytime you wanted your next wine to taste you had to go wait in line to get poured. We spent more time in line than we did enjoying the wine. Might as well get your wine and hop back in line.

We've been members for 10 years. Great wine. Great people.

Beware of this winery! They charge $20 for a wine flight but only serve tiny samples in each glass. There are far better options nearby that offer more generous tastings for your money.
