Description
The Orcas Project is more than just a tasting, there's a real story behind every wine in your flight. We work with talented winemakers and vineyards across the Pacific Northwest, and each bottle features original artwork from local Orcas Island artists. So when we walk you through your flight, we're not just talking tasting notes we're talking about the vineyard it came from, the people who made it, and the artist who designed the label. It's a pretty cool combination, and there's nothing else quite like it in the region.

Our host was absolutely...
Our host was absolutely wonderful! From the service to the wines a great experience! Very attentive host along with our wine flight he brought out a small charcuterie tray that paired perfectly with our wine flight which were very generous pours. We need to visit again.

Lovely summer day at Eastsound
Enjoyed the Orcas projects take on PNW wines. Four tastes of a nice range of wines with their own nuance. Small and relaxed environment in a pleasant garden like setting. Parking might be a challenge but fun to stroll the village to get to the shop. The extra fee for the cheese board is well worth it, thank you.

Wine within
Enjoyed the perfect stop for a break while exploring Eastsound. Loved the story of the Orcas Project! We were pleased to try a limited availability red that was so good and felt fortunate enough to purchase. Recommended for anyone wanting a unique tasting experience.

Do the wine tasting!
Great fun doing the wine tasting. The Orcas Project is such a cool idea! You get access to a collection of wines by great local wine makers. The shop is really fun with some excellent curated international wines. We were looking for a Pino Noir (Burgandy) to cook a boeuf bourguignon and found a great French wine.

Slice of heaven just out of sight from the main roads in Eastsound
Don’t skip the cheeseboard. We did a five wine flight each and we had a lot of fun chatting with the gal running the shop on Sunday. The jam is really good, too. You can pick up several varieties from the island market a block away.
