Pressing Asian pears from Mitchell Bay Farm on San Juan Island!

We love using Asian pears for our Island Perry. They are delicate and incredibly aromatic, fermenting into a refreshing and floral perry.

Our harvest friends joining for some pear treats 🍐
We harvested Pinot Meunier at the Saltwater Farm Vineyard last Friday, and on Sunday, Shaun and Brendan (and Sevvie!) took the ferry to Lopez Island and harvested Madeleine Angevine from Lopez Island Vineyards. ✨

We can't wait to share this local bubbly with you spring 2026!
We are one week out from the Harvest Festival!

A day full of music, face painting, harvest themed cocktails, poetry, and wine! 🍷

Come out and celebrate the best time of the year, and raise funds for our new neighbors, Island Verse Literary Collective ✨
It’s red wine season 🍷 which means that for the first time in years, we have FIVE of our red wines on the menu. Available for tastings, glass pours and bottle sales.

Run don’t walk, Cabernet Sauvignon waits for no one.
Our harvest at Saltwater Farm Vineyard was small this year, on purpose. We are helping the vines put their energy into growing strong, so that next year we are ready to party. However, we did harvest a small crop this year so that we can make some island bubbles just for you 🥂
It feels like all the fruit all ripened at the same time, and it is officially go time ✨

We’ve been busy pressing pears for the Plum Perry this week. Shaun even has the wasp stings to prove it 😵‍💫

Update from the Saltwater Farm Vineyard ✨

The Pinot Noir and Siegerrebe are going through veraison, which is the beginning of the grape ripening process. We have started to net the vineyard, to protect the grapes from wasps and birds - they will eat them immediately once ripe!
As the season shifts and harvest ramps up, the Local Blend becomes a household favorite. Barrel aged and crafted with apples from San Juan, Lopez and Shaw Island, this cider is bold, barrel aged and will help keep you warm with the shifting weather.

Available online or at Madrone in Friday Harbor.
September brings lunch service on Sundays, happy hour for days, and our favorite time of year for drinks in the wine garden.

Come on by the bar:
Sundays: 12-4pm
Tuesday-Thursday: 3-8pm
Friday & Saturday: 1-9pm

August’s harvest brings plums, Gravenstein apples and pears! ✨

As sad as we are to say goodbye to summer, the golden days of autumn and harvest feed our souls.
