Let our culinary team help you design the celebration of your dreams.
An award-winning wine cellar
Our ever-evolving list includes producers from Washington, Oregon, and California alongside a selection of remarkable international wines. We particularly seek out small producers who create handcrafted wine using natural techniques that convey a sense of place. With so many bottles on our carefully curated list, you will certainly find the perfect glass to pair with your dinner.

With menus carefully designed by our culinary team to intrigue and delight, these limited-seating evenings are quick to sell out, so be sure to reserve in advance.
A showcase of local producers
Besides allowing us to obtain the freshest products around, our local San Juan Island producers offer incredible quality. From grass-fed beef and pork to vegetables, greens, and edible flowers, we’re constantly sourcing the best of the season from our trusted local purveyors.

Such a comforting & deliciously satisfying meal on cold grey autumn nights like tonight on the island! Our handmade gnocchi with a tender, scrumptious Lamb Ragu (lamb from our very own island local farm, Blacktail Bass & Beef). Add a generous swipe of yummy ricotta cheese to the plate, a healthy drizzle of olive oil and damn… you got yourself a hearty and nourishing dinner! TGIF everyone!

We are very grateful for all our guests who attended our @johanvineyards Wine Dinner last Friday. Our dining room was full with great energy, wonderful people, excellent wine and an incredible 5-course pairing dinner from our Executive Chef, Tim Payne. Thank you Kyle for sharing the biodynamic terroir of Johan Vineyards and for representing the passion from the people who make that place roll. Thanks to winemaker, @morganmbeck for doing what you do!
Our next wine dinner will be in December and we’ll take you on a culinary and wine pairing journey through Italy. 🇮🇹
