9 Best Wineries near Poulsbo

“Doors are finally opening at the Hard. Hat Winery... This is going to be a very happening place in Kitsap!“

“Intimate, guided wine tasting with the owner who is very passionate about his craft. We showed up without a reservation or anything, and were a little intimidated by the intimate setting at first as you are at the owners home, but were welcomed warmly right away and directed to a table on the small patio/lawn area overlooking the vineyard. The owner came over and explained that there are 5 bottles open for tasting, and for $20 you get to try all 5 wines, but the fee is waived if you buy two bottles of wine. As the owner will explain, he grows his own grapes on the island which is unique, as Washington is a cold climate so the variety of grapes available for wine-making is limited to those that can grow in cold climates which is very cool and unique. We loved every wine we tried and were tempted to buy all 5, and after hearing the owners stories, history, and generally having a nice time chatting, we bought 2 bottles and had one tasting fee waived. Very excited to crack a bottle with his suggested food pairings.“

“One of my FAVORITE things I did in Seattle! Bainbridge Vinyards is the only winery on the island that grows all its own grapes, and grows them all on the island! The tasting fee is only$18 for 4 tastings. We shared one, and the man pouring was so friendly and gave us a smidge more each pour because we shared. It worked and we obvs ended up buying more glasses, lol. The tasting takes you through some really unique wines. They offer snacks too, and allow you to bring your own. You sit on the patio or can even move closer to the vines and eat amongst the grapes! If I lived here I would come here every weekend. It was so peaceful and idyllic. It should be noted, do not be fooled by the bus route which seems like it will take you close enough you can walk. The bus in Bainbridge is impossible, did not come when it was supposed to, and we luckily got an uber (I guess there are only a few on the island, so don't depend on uber). During the drive, I realized how treacherous walking from the bus stop would've been! Do not rely on public transportation or uber to get you here! Rent a car or call a car service if you are from out of town!!“

“I would visit this location again for sure. Purchasing in store and meeting their very friendly professional staff is much better than ordering online. Thanks to Alphonse, Tim & co. I will see you again for another great wine tasting next time we're in the area“

“Great hospitality at Eagle Harbor winery! This was our first winery stop on Bainbridge island and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The wine tasted great too! They specialize in dry earthy reds but I was also pleasantly surprised by the late harvest Semillon (and I’m not usually a sweet wine person). It’s also very cute inside!“

“This is by far the best winery on Bainbridge Island and anywhere close. We love the wine, atmosphere, and especially the people. Alana, Armathia, and Forrest are some of the friendliest, funniest, and most welcoming people you'd be lucky enough to meet at a tasting room. We also just learned that the founder Matt is considered the Mouvedre King of Washington! They make amazing wines and are so welcoming!“

“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.“

“We had the most amazing time here. Shawna made our visit to the island outstanding. She knows her wines and what to recommend. Plus the artwork in the tasting room is soooo tempting to purchase. Thank you for making our trip from Maui after the devastating g fires worthy of mental rejab“
