Okay,...okay.
I should probably be spanked for neglecting to post this review that was visibly overdue some 5 years ago (...and I can't state that I'd mind it, haha) however Greenbank Farm is undeniably that 1 "lucky pot of gold" that you stumble upon and want to share with the world because it's so darned spectacular,......but, contemplate upon keeping it's splendor to yourself, simply because its a bona-fide local escape perched miles away from nowhere, that you can't afford to have tarnished by crying infants and/or their ineptly, entitled parents that would just as easily push a stroller into a wine pairing ANYPLACE from Bellevue throughout Woodinville! Can I get an, "Amen?!"
(SIDENOTE........America, we have GOTTTT to do better!)
Celebrating it's 120th Kenniversary (...see what I did there?) in 4 short days just this Valentine's Day, ANDDD open 7 days a week while resting just a 15-20 minute trek from the Clinton, Whidbey Island ferry dock, while I know and consider each and every person at this place family, having stumbled upon the location just after relocating to WA state some 3 days before the onset of the pandemic which was oddly enough FIVVVVE years ago, this is the single one hideout that my Mom, friends, colleagues and (...thinks to self) the voices within my head can collectively agree on deserving each and every star-studded Google & Yelp review accolade!
From cheese shops, to hilltop hiking and from there to recurring farmer's markets, handmade tie dyed garments and tchotchkes, custom pastries, non-alcoholic, vino-evocative libations for those in need, an onsite bistro (check out their clam chowder), and the most generous pairings east of the Puget Sound and south of Bellingham --- inclusive to seasonal "frozés (wine-infused slushies) that I'm insisting become a year-round conveyance, as well as live bands and local performances accompanied by the warm smiles of Hollie, Cathy and the ENTIRE onsite time, ...........need I state that 1-pairing 5 years ago quickly prompted my infinite but eminent return and I've yet to depart one single time without EVERYONE around me taking on a newfound sense of Port-induced sexy????! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh yeahhhh (....raises and lowers eyebrows)! It's time to get faded and X-rated, haha.
To any and all reading, let's take a moment to raise our glasses! . . . . . I say'eddd raise em'up, gosh darn it!! I think it high time and low tide that we declare every day GREENBANK FARM DAY!
This place is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and as a Certified Legal Professional, feel free to take it from me,...the one and only "Chocolate Kenny G" that it would be nothing shy of a felony to pass up such an island gem!
Just be certain to back the heck away from my table when you view the King's car approaching. I'd hate for things to have to get ugly. Lol....
Read moreWe visited this cute wine tasting room on a trip to Whidbey and we were glad we did! The wines are $1 to taste and they've a vast selection. We picked up one of the most refreshing bottles of chardonnay and for a good price that Seattle can't beat. Customer service is everything and this place has got it. The hostess was warm and made good conversation. I even left my purse and they promptly mailed it back to me safely within the week! I don't know a lot of businesses that would go that extra mile for their customers. Definitely going back for its amazing...
