Orcas Island Wine Tasting: Pacific NW Flights

Each wine comes with a story: the vineyard, the winemaker, and the artist who designed the label.

The Orcas Project Wine Tasting is a curated flight of four small-batch wines from Pacific Northwest vineyards, held at the tasting room in Eastsound on Orcas Island. A live guide in English walks you through the vineyard origins, the winemakers, and the local artists behind each label. The tasting takes about 30 minutes and requires a minimum age of 21.

The experience

Eastsound's tasting room is where The Orcas Project brings together winemakers and vineyards from across the Pacific Northwest. The wines are small-batch and limited-production (you won't find them elsewhere), and each label features original artwork by artists from Orcas Island. A guide walks you through a flight of four, talking not just about tasting notes but about where each wine came from, who made it, and who designed the bottle.

The whole experience runs about 30 minutes, so it fits easily into an afternoon on the island. Public transportation options are available nearby if you're getting around without a car, and service animals are welcome in the tasting room.
