A Great Time to Visit

The Olympic Peninsula is a show-off in spring. April and May produce a variety of flora not available in other parts of Washington. Just as nature starts its’ growing season, so do the wineries. While not all the Peninsula Wineries are fortunate enough to have acres of vineyards, almost all of them are involved in some sort of agricultural endeavor from flowers to vegetables. Come now and see the Peninsula leap into bloom.

In the Tasting Room

Here are a few hints to help you get the most out of your tasting room experience:

1. As soon as you enter, head for the tasting bar where you will be greeted and receive information about the winery and the wines available for tasting.
2. Most wineries will be very aware of the amount of wine they are pouring and will give you enough to savor the flavors but not so much that you won’t be able to enjoy the rest of your day. Tasting pours are usually 1 to 1 ½ ounces.
3. Designated drivers are always recommended for serious wine tasting ventures.
