ELEVEN DISTINCT WINERIES
EACH WITH A PASSION FOR MAKING GREAT WINE
Discover one of Washington’s best-kept secrets at eleven boutique wineries throughout the Kitsap Peninsula. The wineries are a short 35-minute ferry ride from Seattle and an easy drive from anywhere in Kitsap County.
Each winery is passionate about making great wine in a handcrafted style. The wines of the Kitsap Peninsula are produced in limited quantity using some of the finest grapes grown on Bainbridge Island, Hansville, Poulsbo, and Eastern Washington. Each winery is unique and provides a truly one-of-a-kind tasting experience.
GRAPES GROWN
ON THE ISLAND
AND SOURCED FROM THE FINEST VINEYARDS IN EASTERN WASHINGTON
Grape growing in Washington started in the late 1800s. It began on Bainbridge Island in the 1970s, but many wineries started after 2003.
The Kitsap Peninsula isn't just another wine region; it's part of the Puget Sound AVA, which provides a unique growing climate for wines like Muller Thurgau, Siegerrebe, Pinot Noir, and Melon de Bourgogne which you'll find at the two Bainbridge Island vineyards - Bainbridge Vineyards and Perrenial Vineyards and Olalla Vineyards in Port Orchard and Telve di Sopra in Hansville. If more recognized varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Pinot Grigio are more your style, you'll find that here too. Other wineries on the island source their grapes from established and old vine vineyards in Eastern Washington, putting their island spin on these much-loved varietal wines.
WINE LOVE
WE POUR PASSION INTO EVERY BOTTLE. TASTE THE DIFFERENCE.
We pour our passion into every bottle and love to share that with our visitors.
Visit any of the tasting rooms, and the winemaker will likely pour your wine or give you a tour of their winery.
Grab a friend, hop on the ferry and explore the wineries of the Kitsap Peninsula.
For the best possible tasting experience, please limit group sizes to 6 or smaller or call ahead for reservations.
