Beautiful rooftop in the summertime. Cheeseboards and live music occasionally
Excellent experience!!! On the first visit we tried the fruity wines and the cheese board, they were very delicious, we returned and tried the French Flight, which were also very good.
First visit to Bainbridge and after getting off the ferry wow so many people. Initially we walked past this place and visited the first shop after. Given the amount of people we backtracked to the tasting room for a drink and to let the mob thin out. Got a beer and wine flight. Did the trick. Nice to sit outside and relax / people watch.
While in town, we visited for my birthday where we were greeted with an extremely helpful and energetic staff that ran the main first floor business (shout out to Christine who was absolutely wonderful and so welcoming). We were told that the upstairs rooftop would be opening at 3pm so we would need to order something downstairs and then we could go up after 3pm, which was no issue.When we were done and ready to go upstairs, we were informed that we would need to close out and reopen a tab upstairs, however, we wanted to take up their in house deal to purchase 2 bottles of wine and get our flight ordered discounted (for free) from our total order. We had to wait a while while the downstairs staff were trying to figure out if we could do that and bring the bottles upstairs to drink. We were told that these were the “the same business” but also that they were “two separate businesses” because there was no staircase that connected them together on the same property so we couldn’t just transfer our tab and continue upstairs.After a few minutes of waiting, we finally got an answer that we could close out with the bottles and the discount added and that they would cork one of the bottles so we could drink it upstairs. We understood and were very reasonable with all this.Once we got upstairs, we were greeted with very nice staff and they did honor what was communicated and gave us two glasses for us to use. We then proceeded to order one of their charcuterie boards, which was the same one as listed downstairs, but was $10 more (around $45 after tax).We were a bit shocked with the presentation of the board for the price we paid (see photos of what was served). When we asked the waiter why there was a difference in presentation and how substantial the cost difference was, they mentioned issues with using the same materials as downstairs and then they preceded to joke that it was a “premium rooftop price” that we were paying for and that they included special nuts that were locally sourced and expensive.I did connect with the manager on duty and expressed my feedback - not looking at all for a refund - but letting them know the confusion, lack of communication, and overall presentation and what I was expecting wasn’t met at all. They were very understanding and eventually did give a refund.I only share the above as a point of feedback to the business on the overall experience and areas of improvement, considering how much I was spending at their business.
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!

Nice atmosphere and good prices
I tried a wine sampler. The interior was luxurious and the owner who introduced me had an aura. Even the music played was perfect for the atmosphere.
Staff is friendly
Great spanish platter
We enjoyed the wine flight and that they had available to purchase tasty food items.
Tasty wine at the city’s busiest intersection
