2 Best Sights in The Puget Sound Islands, Washington

Under cooperative ownership and led by women, this longtime certified-organic winery five miles from the ferry landing produces around 1,200 bottles a year from entirely island-grown varietals that thrive in the Puget Sound region. The winemakers compare their offerings to those that come from the Alsace or Loire Valley in France—on the light and fruity side—and you can enjoy a tasting of five pours for $8 on the winery's lovely sun-dappled patio. Kids will want to say hi to the draft horses that help till the fields. The tasting room is open Thursday to Sunday from 12 to 5 pm.

A boutique winery with stylish coastal decor, Fletcher Bay focuses on Bordeaux grapes along with Tempranillo and Sangiovese sourced from Washington State's Yakima and Walla Walla valleys. The casual, dog-friendly winery, set in the Coppertop Business Park (next door to Bainbridge Island Brewery), has a kids’ play area with a DVD player, an enclosed patio with a fireplace and heat lamps, and live music every Wednesday from 6 to 8 pm. There's also a tasting room right in town ( 500 Winslow Way E).
