10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Bainbridge Island That You Shouldn't Miss

September 16, 2021 Karren Gelb

Although it's just 35 minutes by ferry from Seattle, Bainbridge Island is a totally different world. Travelers who enjoy the outdoors can hike, bike or walk in the Bloedel Reserve or Fort Ward State Park. The island feels rural, and local agriculture is a source of pride for residents (check out what's in season at the farmers' market). Bainbridge Island is also known for its strong visual and performing arts culture, and there's good shopping in Winslow.

Eagle Harbor Book Co

Reviewed By Deewigi - Bainbridge Island, United States

This is a wonderful resource where you’re almost sure to find something you can’t wait to start reading. Even in the age of e-readers, there’s nothing like the promise of opening a real book to the first pages. There is lots to explore even though this is not an enormous store, and terrific curation for the most part. I especially like the section on Local Authors (quite a few writers on or near Bainbridge Island!), and the full wall of books that employees recommend, with notecards explaining why they chose a particular selection. Much love for Eagle Harbor Books, with one caveat: their crafts section seems comparatively uninspired and kind of random.

French, Hungarian, and Virginia oak barrels are used to complete the quality aging process resulting in wines which exude the quality and character. Barrel tasting available on request.

Churchmouse Yarns & Teas

Reviewed By seatowngetawaygirl - Seattle, United States

Churchmouse has been my local yarn store since long before it became famous. Located on in a small breeze on Bainbridge Island, this little shop carries a wide variety of luxury fibers, designs their own garments, and is available for knitting circles and charity knit-a-longs regularly. Their mail order service rivals that of Nordstrom. Packages are beautifully packed, tissue-wrapped, and include a hand-written thank you note and postcard. Lovely service from lovely people... and if you're a knitter, you must make the pilgrimage.

This December, Amelia Wynn Winery (AW) moved the tasting room just a short block up the street). The new space is gorgeous, and hand crafted by the winemaker, Paul Bianchi. AW produces red, white and rosé using grapes sourced from Washington’s most prestigious vineyards. The wines express Paul’s commitment to the expression of the terroirs of Washington State. Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, are offered as single varietals and also crafted into delicious blends. For white wine drinkers, AW offers Chardonnay, Albariño, Roussanne/Marianne, and Pinot Gris. Currently, the new tasting room continues to offer generous cheese and charcuterie plates, olives, crackers and chocolate. But in a couple of weeks, the Bistro will tempt guests with a full menu of dishes developed to support the elegance of the the Amelia Wynn wines.
