Wineries near Gig Harbor

“Andrew Will makes some of the finest wines around. The winery iteself is beautifully tucked away in central Vashon. If you're coming for a visit, I'd suggest planning to do so in the late Spring or early Summer when the weather is more ideal. The owners are extremely nice and they are wonderful members of our community on Vashon. You can find their wines @ Thriftway!“

“In my effort to develop my wine pallet I like to try at least one winery when I travel. Yelp has been my go to for referrals. Ginkgo Winery was a winner. The young lady who did our tasting was very nice and knowledgeable. We went during the day during the week so we had her undivided attention. She talked about the owner and his philosophy behind the winery. Ginkgo is a tree that grows for years. The Ginkgo leaf is on their bottles and their glasses. She pulled out a map to show us the actual location of the winery. We were at the tasting room in Tacoma. They had wine slushies but we didn't try it......the tasting was enough for me. I really liked the reisling so I bought a bottle to take back home. Hubby is more a whiskey fan so she recommended a location that had whiskey flights. I thought that was another example of good customer service. If you are in Tacoma stop by for a tasting you won't be disappointed.“

“I love this pear orchard in the middle of vashon island! All their drinks are super delicious, their space is super cozy, and all the people there are very knowledgeable. I've tried their alcoholic tasting menu in the past, which is good, but since I was driving this time, I got the non-alcoholic tasting menu which was equally as amazing. You can really taste the original flavors of the fruit. I couldn't recommend this little cidery more. It's a wonderful little hangout spot with an outdoor area that's amazing for sunbathing in the summer and chilling by the fire pit in the winter. The indoor space is also super inviting and airy. Just a super cute place to chill for a couple hours.“
