Fletcher Bay Winery

We had our wedding Welcome Party at Fletcher Bay Winery, as well as our After Party. Alexa was so helpful and sweet! We had originally booked Fletcher Bay for the After Party, as they were the only ones on Bainbridge that would accomodate a late Sunday night event. Our Welcome Party was at a different location, but then the weather changed and we needed a space with more heaters and cover. Alexa and team were awesome and were able to accomodate a 55-person event for us on a Saturday night with just a few days notice. The Coppertop Loop patio is private and warm even on a chilly day. Though a tad crowded, it fit our group of 50 with more than enough seating. Their charcuterie boards are gorgeous and the wine was delicious with lots of options. Would recommend without a doubt! Beautiful space.

My husband and I came for a barrel room tasting experience for our anniversary. They rolled out the red carpet for us and made our time so special. Mariann is amazing and so knowledgeable and she answered even my wine novice questions with grace and kindness! The wine was delicious and the atmosphere was great! Highly recommend the barrel room tasting experience!

We enjoyed our experience but there was a seemingly regular customer that kept bothering us when we were trying to talk out on the patio. Luckily other folks showed up so he left us alone. The wine was decent, not the best but not the worst but a cozy afternoon stop while on Bainbridge.

Wine Tasting on the Patio. We biked up the hill from downtown to try Fletcher Bay wines. A chill place next to the brewery. The staff was friendly. We really liked the white Pinot Noir. They had snacks and we were able to meet up with our friends. A nice little Sunday afternoon. Visited 9/2024.

What a great place! Great taste and great prices. Staff was amazing!! I picked up 6 bottles! Definitely will come back again if in the area. Sorry for all the photos they wont let me delete them..

I was super impressed by their wines and everyone I came in contact with there was incredibly professional and kind! When I went in to taste, there was a class being held where people were painting while they were drinking wine! As for myself, I just grabbed a flight of four different options and parked myself at one of their nice tables and got to know the wines. Carmenere, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah! All were delicious, especially the first two! I finished with a delicious taste of a Port of Merlot and ended up going home with a couple bottles. Definitely recommend trying their wines!

I absolutely love Fletcher Bay winery. The wine is great and I just love their attention to detail - everything was well though through and just fun. Definitely try the Brie with the pirate red - to die for.

Great vibe, rich wine and really nice staff. Had oysters last weekend at Coppertop and they were so good!

Excellent wine selection, charcuterie is fabulous! Folks have fun here meeting new people or attending with friends and loved ones!

This a is great place to enjoy really tasty wines, foods and excellent customer service in a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere. We joined another couple for a wine flight and a charcuterie and cheese tray. I chose the red wine flight and my wife chose the fruit wines. We're both red wine lovers but we're open to new, sweeter flavors if done right. We sat in their outside patio in the back at a table with a large umbrella over it. We could've picked a better table since we were near the exhaust fan to an air conditioner, and my wife and one of our friends wound up sitting partly in the sun as it moved to where the umbrella couldn't block it. For me, the wafting hot air from the exhaust fan was offset my a gentle breeze blowing over me as I sat in complete shade the whole time. We could've moved to a number of open tables but it was our choice to sit and remain there The red wine flight had four wines. My favorite turned out to be the 1st wine of the flight--Barking Dog Red. It's made from Columbia Valley, WA grapes: 40% Sangiovese, 40% Merlot 20% Syrah. It was a really good quaff and we bought a couple of bottles since my wife also thought it was the best-tasting red of the flight. The other three reds were very nice but this wine was clearly great for drinking on its own or with food. The four fruit wines flight was surprising to me, being among the best I've ever tasted--and I'm not a fan of most fruit wines. The standouts that we purchased were the Tropical Breeze fruit blend, the Blood Orange and the Blackberry/Raspberry. For me, the Tropical Breeze blend-- peach, mango and pineapple-was wonderful in its gentle complexity that delivered a wonderful tropical nose and flavors. My other favorite was the Blood Orange--in your face nose and flavors that set it apart from any other fruit wine I've drank. I totally loved it. The Black/Raspberry was very good--my wife liked it better than I did--but I'll still drink it! The charcuterie/cheese platter also had almonds prepared a couple of different ways, chocolate cookies and candies. It was a combo of two or three of their separate platters and was very enjoyable. We've been to their tasting room on Winslow Way but this was a much more enjoyable experience. We will be back. I especially want to make a return visit because a couple of spots down from the winery there's a pop up kitchen space. On the day we were there, two young men had a pro BBQ rig going and to me it smelled like they were smoking beef brisket. I gotta give that a try the next time if they're cooking it up. But this tasting room stands on its own as a great place to spend some time, drink and eat, and enjoy live music in the evenings.

stopped here over the weekend and had a flight of white wines. they were good, but the charcuterie and service were excellent!

What a great find! We went mostly because they were dog friendly and will definitely be back because of the outstanding service and great wine choices! We had a reservation outside on the back patio and tried all of their flights in our party because we hadn't been before. Quite a few good choices for all different tastes. Their cheese board was surprisingly good and we tried the wine chips but wouldn't recommend them . The service was stellar and we are planning to return next time we're in the area. They have a tasting room on Main Street that would be worth visiting if you don't have a car but I don't believe it's dog friendly.

We were able to make reservations ahead of time online. Lots of parking available. The flights are $18-20 but if you purchase 2 bottles, you get the flight for free. Wines range from $25-60. On the Saturday we went, there was also oysters available being served by another vendor which was fun! The cheese board was pretty decently sized, sometimes they can be very small at other places. Service was really nice too!

Went here on our first day visiting Seattle. So far it's been the highlight of our entire trip! What made it so so special was 100 percent because of the amazing service by Shannon and Christina. They were so charming and helpful while we picked out wines we never wanted to leave. Probably the best service I have ever had. The wines were amazing and it was such a cozy atmosphere, we will be sure to make it back. 100 percent would recommend!

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

I've been to this location for Fletcher Bay twice now and I once again had a great time! I came in with a small group of friends and sat in their outdoor patio - I loved the fire pits & comfy chairs. I went with the premium red wine tastings and really liked them all. Pretty big pours and because they provide all 4 wines at the same time, each person can go at their own pace (which I really prefer). The both times I went each of us came home with a bottle of their CabFranc. This time I joined their wine club, so I'm excited to go back!

Fantastic place to eat outside and enjoy some wine even on a cold and rainy day. Make a reservation if you can for the fire pit. You can pick up some pizza from That's a some Pizza right next door. It only took 15 minutes to order the pizza and walk over to the winery. Perfect way to end a busy day at the beach. Highly recommend coming here especially on a Sunday in February because it seems a little bit less busy.

This winery was the first that my friend and I made it to while on Bainbridge Island. A small location with friendly staff, the Fletcher Bay Winery is a nice stop. Located in the Coppertop Loop plaza area, the winery included a tasting bar, a couple smaller tables, and a taller/longer table from which to sample various wines. A 5-pour wine tasting is priced at $10. Their menu includes various whites, reds, and fruit wines. You can pair your tasting with various small plates (cheeses, olives, etc). I sampled all the white wines available (since reds tend to give me headaches, I'm much more hesitant to try them unless there seems to be something irresistible), as well as the 'Shannon's Strawberry Dream - Strawberry Wine.' They were enjoyable enough, but nothing I was especially blown away by. If you're a white wine drinker, I'd probably recommend their dry Riesling the most (my friend and I both enjoyed it, even though we generally tend to prefer different styles of white wine). Parking is easy, since the winery is in a plaza, and the folks serving the wine tasting are helpful... perhaps a bit less attentive than I would have preferred, but certainly friendly. Overall, a generally enjoyable experience.

Located in a pretty cool location. That's the best thing I have to say about it. If the staff is knowledgeable about their wines they don't share that information. Atmosphere? Meh... There are better places on the island

Staff were so friendly and we loved the outdoor patio! Great wine and food options that left us wanting more! We had a group of 9 and they were so accommodating and had no problem seating us all. Can't wait to visit again!

Underwhelmed by this place. We expected overpriced - because of where this place is located - but then to experience incredibly poor service (agree with a previous reviewer's description of 'unwelcoming') on top of sub-par food - not to mention they were out of many of their offered selections, was all we needed to make sure this would be our only visit to this business. There are a several wine options on the island so other then them being centrally located on the main street, not sure what positives this place has going for them. And even that won't be enough event......

We really enjoyed Fletcher Bay Winery! We took the ferry to Bainbridge Island (without a car) so we only visited the tasting room, but we had a great time! The wines were very good - we ended up taking home 2 bottles! But, I think what made this place stand out for us were 2 items in particular: 1) the wine tastings offer an option to 'build your own' flight and it's the same price as the others. My boyfriend knew he wanted all reds, but I wanted a little bit of everything, so it was awesome to not have to choose between red, white and rose. 2) the staff were so great! we met 2 of the staff when one of them was on her way out (literally clocking out) and she still helped us. Then, we spent a lot of time with Bambi (sp?) as we sampled different wines and berated her with all of our questions. She was knowledgeable, professional and so fun!

Great ambiance. Blood orange fruit wine is now my favorite! Lovely afternoon after exploring Bainbridge Island.

Service: great Food: good Wine: good/average Came here with a large group (20ish) and they were more than accommodating especially for how small of a space it is. The two women who served our table were all stars, remembered everyone and what they were drinking and kept the good times flowing without being pushy. I had the Sangiovese and the Cabernet Sauvignon and they were good, on par with most wines in the region. The cheese and meat plates are also not to be missed! Would come back and recommend to check out!

A fun tasting room located right next to a brewery and distillery! They have several flight options and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Wish we hadn't just eaten lunch, otherwise I would have tried the cheese boards or other bites. Will be coming back to try more and try out the brewery and distillery!!

My husband and I went in for a wine tasting event. Staff and owner were amazing. He went out of the way to open his business for us when they were not opened yet. Fantastic wine and service. Thanks again we will definitely be back!

Wine club members beware. Good luck ever cancelling your membership or reaching anyone if you have concerns or questions. I have left multiple voicemails and emails for Fletcher Bay, for both the wine club and their marketing department, with no returned phone calls or emails. This is not the first time I have had all my attempts at communication ignored, but this is the most concerning. They recently sent a mass email to all members that they have "transferred to a new system" and to check your membership. When I did I noticed that my billing information is all correct, but another random wine club member's name and address is listed for shipping with no way for me to change it, no way for me to delete my card on file, and no way to cancel my account. If I cannot cancel online or edit any of these, and this business is ignoring all attempts for me to reach them, the only option I have left is to cancel my card. This is ridiculous. I have attempted to call them multiple times in the past years when we moved etc., with no response, but this is beyond bad business and completely absurd at this point. I regret ever supporting this business.

The wife and I decided to try this place today. It was not busy at all. 1) You really need to look for a sign. Trying to locate it is difficuIt. We drove around the entire complex before we found its location. 2) We both decided to try the flight of white wines. The four wines came to us with a small card telling us the name of each. There wasn't a description on any of the wines. We were left guessing. My wife did like the wine. I, however, was not a fan. 3) The server did not tell us anything about the selection, their process, the upcoming events. She did not check on us at all. I counted everybody in the establishment. There were 7 people including us. She did not ask us if we liked the wines, if we needed anything else, or if we would like to purchase anything we sampled. We left empty handed. We won't be back.

Great little winery! We sat on the back deck in a covered area with the fire pit. Beautiful! I had the white wine flight... Loved it!!

First time visitors, wine was good along with atmosphere. Customer service was unfriendly-it was like we were putting them out to give them our business. We did buy a few bottles, but not sure we will be back. Multiple seating options-indoor, outdoor and food truck close by.

We were trying a few of the wineries on the island on a late Sunday evening and came across this one. It was located in a shopping center and the original person who I asked about the wine I was interested in didn't have an answer to my question. She didn't know much about about wine. I ended up ordering a pinot grigio and it tasted more like a chardonnay. The glass was only $7, so not bad but not what I am used to with a pinot grigio. It was ok but not what I was expecting for a "winery."

Loved that I could make a reservation online! Seating was all outdoors and distanced from other customers. Wines were great, really appreciate that they had a vegan platter!!!

Had a good time here, although I'd say the cheese and meat platters were outrageously expensive considering how mediocre they were. The cheese was plain, the crackers nothing special, and the bread dried out, and it seemed like it was more for show than for eating. Some of the wines were okay, and a few were putrid. The atmosphere was lively, but extremely loud, and pure cacophony. The waitress was kind and polite, but screamed so loud into our ears we thought our brains would ooze onto our cheese plate. A local gnomish-looking drunk came by, interrupted our conversation, bragged about his 34 years on the island, sat down at our table uninvited, leaving my partner's father no place to sit, whilst he puffed out his chest and expounded on the virtues of the "captain's club" of which he was a select member. Being a member of the "captain's club" we were informed, entitles one to larger "glasses" of wine than us mere plebeians, glasses that constitute about half a bottle each given the swagger and stagger on display. After gregariously telling us not to move to the island so we don't spoil his edenic drinking and perambulatory experiences, he moved on to hold court with the higher classes when another gnomish local drunk petitioned his attention. I understand that being insulted by a privileged islander in an expansive mood who is three sheets to the wind is something of a high honor on hip spits of land in the Pungent Sound, and so I can only tip my hat and bow to the captain and his club, and pray that His Lordship will forgive any imposition we may have caused by spending almost $100 into his favorite watering hole and his local economy in one sitting. While I would generously call the stop at this port of call educational, I would not return here--at least not if I'm buying.

We brought a bunch of friends with us to this winery, not knowing what to expect. As soon as we arrived, the owners/winemaker greeted us and were super welcoming and friendly. It is $10 for 5 tastings which is more expensive than Rolling Bay and Bainbridge Vineyards ($5) but if you buy a bottle here, the $10 tasting fee is waived. We ended up LOVING their Cab Sav (it's really good) and bought a couple of their whites (because Summer). The wine club at Fletcher Bay sounds like a great deal if you live on the island! Side note: If you have a beer drinker in your group, make sure he/she doesn't even THINK about going to the brewery next door (see separate review) or you'll get a "talking to" by the brewery staff. eek!

This was my last stop on my wine tour of Bainbridge Island this holiday weekend and the overall experience was mediocre. The venue looks more like a traditional bar rather than a winery or tasting room. The wine itself was decent (nothing that screamed WOW, but nothing bad either). The staff was pleasant but didn't take the time to talk with us about their selection or winery. It seems like a decent place to go with a few friends for a drink or two, but not the venue is not up to the same standards as the traditional wine tasting rooms.

My husband and I cruised in for a date night happy hour. It was my husbands first and last time there. The staff was very cold and, I would go as far to say, unwelcoming. The wine is decent and the ambiance okay. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

We held our rehearsal dinner at the Coppertop location and it truly exceeding our expectations. They were wonderful to work with along the way and helped make a memorable experience for us and our guests! Would highly recommend this space for any type of party! And their wines are super delicious as well :)

We two stopped at here after doing the Bainbridge Island Art Tour. Very reasonable prices. WINE: 3.5. Generous 5-wine tasting @ $10, with wines of your choice among several reds, whites, and roses. FOOD: 3.5. We had the Fisherman's platter. Good tasting and so much volume that we had enough left over to take out. SERVICE: 4.0. Prompt and friendly. AMBIANCE: 3.5. Nice to sit outside in the shaded east-facing front. View of parking lot, distillery, and trees.

Minneapolis here. I had no idea Washington has such great wine! The Reds are beyond great! Flectcher Bay is doing some great things with Wine!

Fletcher Bay Winery is a small boutique winery owned by Jim Wilford. The winery sources it's grapes from Eastern, WA. You can taste their wine at their winery, or at the Island Vinters Wine Bar in downtown Winslow. It is cheaper if you go to the winery itself. The tasting room is quaint and cozy and located were all the wine making action takes place. You get to sit amongst the barrels of maturing wine. The cheese plate here is incredible! Do not pass up on getting some of the food. They even have rice crackers for those who are wheat sensitive. Shannon/Sharon was an amazing knowledgeable host as she took us through the tasting. I believe it was about $5 for a tasting of about 6 glasses of your choice from the tasting menu. Between my friend and I we tasted the entire menu. There wasn't anything we didn't like, everything was OK. The standouts for me were Barking Dog Red, Tara Rouge, and 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (still young, well rounded, balanced, drinkable now, but you could taste the future possibilities).

Excellent wine and a great setting, both indoor and outdoor. Wonderful service.

We ordered several of the wine flights and we also ordered the Fisherman's platter. They were delicious. We devoured the smoked salmon dip. Also, Shannon was amazing! She gave excellent recommendations and was very attentive to our party of 5's needs.

This is my favorite winery on Bainbridge Island because it's spacious and the service was the best out of all of them, plus the selection is very expansive. In addition to the tastings and bottles, they have small bites to purchase. I tasted a few of their wines in another show room and it's what got me to make the trip out to that part of the island. It's worth the journey to get there and I highly recommend it.

Very friendly and clean! It was my first time wine tasting and I'm a big fan of dessert wines. The owner was super knowledgeable and recommended the order I should drink my wine. I loved hearing the stories of how some their wines we named and their history. I definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back!

A truly grass roots wine lover will appreciate the heart and soul put into this small winery and the owner's authentic love of wine. We think it is a must do if you are on the island. Enjoy!

My husband and I stopped in hoping to do a tasting. There were 2 couples sitting at the bar and one gal was working. I believe her name was Ren/Wren. We walked in and waited for a minute for her to say hello and then thought that maybe we needed to find seating first and that she would eventually come greet us. That didn't happen so we walked back inside and waited again. She never made eye contact, never said hello. There was plenty of opportunity to simply acknowledge us - we felt like we were really inconveniencing her, so we ended up leaving and she said "sorry guys". We took our business elsewhere - where there was one man working alone, taking care of about 20 people. He acknowledged us right away

Great ambiance, friendly staff, generous food platters AND the wine selection is incredible! Can't beat the wine club membership pricing!

The staff is mean. We went to get a wine and a beer next door and wanted to share this at a table outside but the staff wouldn't let us and we had to stand. If you're only drinking wine this place might be ok but if you want to get beer as well better to avoid this place. The wine itself was good but the staff makes me not want to go back there.

BEWARE Really enjoyed the winery. So much so, that my fiancé and I decided to join the wine club. Beware before doing this. When we decided to cancel in December, we were still charged the wine club release fee. She emailed them immediately stating the charge was not authorized and they never replied. She emailed them a second time with the screenshot of the charge asking for a refund and never heard back. She also filed a fraud charge with our credit card company and the winery still would not refund our money. Beware of allowing them to have your card information. They still have $86.33 of our money.

Nice little stop if you are checking out the distillery and the brewery in the same complex. The owner was really nice and very welcoming. I wasn't crazy about their reds (I am kind of picky), but the white they had to offer and their late harvest (also a white) were both delicious. Worth the stop for some crisp white wine on a hot summer day!

First time in Seattle and customer service from christine was amazing she was ao sweet. I could take her home with me. she gave great suggestions for wine. Views are nice and cozy. Went back a second time just for her

Friendly service! I love Shannon. I found it so cool that was so outgoing and she made us feel comfortable in the winery. She helped me pick a few wines because I'm a beginner and I loved that. The tyrah was awesome and so was the Vouiter. The man was awesome too.

There are several awesome local wines on Bainbridge Island, but Fletcher Bay Winery is by far my favorite - the reds, particularly The Petit Verdot, Syrah and Pirate Red, are all outstanding. The Winery at Coppertop in the middle of the Island has a great vibe. And The new Tasting Room right at the top of Winslow Way is also awesome and a great location, next to Bainbridge Brewery and in front of Agate Pass Cafe (soon to be open). I look forward to seeing the Tasting Room more "decked out" which will likely make it more of a draw. Finally, the staff is absolutely awesome and totally inviting - a definite stop for a visit to Bainbridge!

Sharon was truly the consummate hostess in the tasting room on July 16th when we visited. They had just had their grand opening the night before and had lots of delicious food to sample with their amazing wines. We purchased a half-case (which is still in-transit, apparently, a month later but we're expecting it soon). Overall, nice, knowledgeable people making great, hand-crafted wines presented happily in their tasting room on Bainbridge Island. **October 2011 Update: As mentioned in the original review, our wine took over a month to ship, which is really not typical in my experience. Their reason, however, was due to higher than normal temperatures in the Washington area, which would impact wine quality during shipment. Also, when the wines arrived, we were not as impressed with the wines we purchased compared to the wines we tasted. This could be due to different batches being used for tasting vs. what was shipped but really affected our impression of the wines we purchased (which averaged $15 - $20 per bottle). Also, the pino grigio we purchased had some secondary fermentation (bubbles), which was unfortunate and mired the taste.

Great little place! Free wine tasting with no pressure to buy. We enjoyed all the wines. And the little doggie greeters! They now have a tasting room in downtown Bainbridge Island but the winery (guest house) on their property is still open for tastings. Friendly owners!

i booked a private wine tasting for a bachelorette group on a saturday. I called just a few days ahead and they were able to reserve our group no problem! Brooke was very helpful and reserved the loft area for our group. We arrived and spent a couple hours here, sipping the different wines available. Everyone had a great time. The bride even got to do her own wine pulling out of one of the barrels, definitely a nice touch. We had a great experience and cant wait to come back!

This is one of the best wineries on the island. My boyfriend and I come here all the time!! The wine is amazing and tastes unlike any other wine I've ever had. I LIVE for the Boysenberry & Pirate Red. If you're new to the island (or just visiting) you have to make this a stop on your itinerary!
