Enjoy wines from some of Washington’s top wineries, including Cedergreen, Lullaby, Guardian, Masquerade, Proletariat and more.

For beer lovers, Orcas Island’s new Island Hoppin’ Brewery will be pouring their beers as well. Join us for Father’s Day – or just bring a friend and enjoy the island’s bounty and some great wine! You can also buy bottles and get a 10% case discount for cases of your favorite wines!
