What to do and see in Bainbridge Island, Washington (WA): The Best Things to do Good for Couples

May 3, 2022 Trinity Boughner

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.

Bloedel Reserve

Reviewed By klanglow - Poulsbo, United States

This superb horticultural collection, acknowledged one of the best nationally, features many beautiful, special gardens arrayed along a Puget Sound bluff. Accessible by car (and sometimes local bus) from the Seattle to Bainbridge Island ferry, the site features a Japanese garden, a moss garden, beautiful pathways through typical Northwest forest locations, and beautifully planted special collections. Not to be missed, if you are a garden fan.

We came to Bainbridge Island for a wedding that in Bainbridge. We needed a place to stay but didn't want to stay in a typical hotel, so we started looking at B&B type of places close to downtown and found HeyDeyfarm, only a 10 minute drive from downtown. It was peaceful and pleasant.The cook made fabulous breakfasts for us each day which included fabulous bread pudding and peach scones! Yum! The historic farmhouse was renovated about 4-5 years ago and our room #4 had a walk-out LARGE balcony space that overlooks the flower garden and patio below. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff pleasant. Wish we were their during the summer time to see the flowers, but the Autumn walks we took on the trail were nice too. We would stay there again.

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.

Fort Ward Park

Reviewed By mkgale - Bainbridge Island, United States

This is a great park for walking -- either through the woods on the upper part of the park or on the paved trail along the beach, which is wheelchair accessible . Historic military bunkers to explore and the beach is great nearshore habitat for marine critters. Using Park District maps for reference, you can walk along wooded trails from Blakely Harbor Park up to Fort Ward and then connect to Rich Passage and back for a great long hike.
