Fletcher Bay Winery — Attraction in Bainbridge Island

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...

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!...

Meh experience, but solid wine so still 4 stars. There were 3 adults and 2 tiny humans in our group on a Sunday night and we all (adults) ordered a red wine tasting flight and water. Wine flight was 4 samples, delivered on carry platter with tiny 4 little carafes for each tasting. Not the worst but we really enjoy the experience of staff explaining the wine pour along with answering any questions. Water didn't arrive and required an additional ask after 2 of the samples were enjoyed. No changing tables in the restrooms which is understandable based on the venue but still a nuisance for young adults with tiny humans. Overall price, ambience and taste fit the desire and should be included on any wine loop you may do on...
