4.All – Inclusive Bainbridge Island Winery & Dinner Tour

3.5 hours on Bainbridge Island: 3 to 4 winery stops with winemakers, complimentary tastings, a gourmet dinner, and a souvenir wine glass.

“This was a really awesome compact tour, we did it as a work team with 6 adults + one newborn along for the ride. Our guide was really kind and accommodating, and the wine was delicious as was dinner. My only regret is that we booked this via Viator instead of with Tour Bainbridge, we would have saved $500 (literally 50% markup) and I don't know that Viator added any value other than being more visible in search results for similar experiences.”

Private 2-hour sailing from Bainbridge Island to see the Seattle skyline, islands, wildlife, and maybe whales on a classic ketch.

“I loved this sail so much the first time that we brought our kids along for the second experience, and they absolutely loved it too! As a returning customer, I can honestly say it’s totally worth the cost, and don’t think twice—do this, you won’t regret it! We saw a rare elephant seal, which was incredible to witness, and Captain Ben also saw orcas with clients the day before—something I didn’t even know we might see! Going to have to go a third time. Be sure to grab a coffee from the adorable, Instagram-famous Pegasus Coffee at the marina before heading out—it's the perfect start—and they also offer amazing sunset…”
