Wines Made On Whidbey

Ken and Virginia Bloom, owners and winemakers for Blooms Winery
on Whidbey, started making wine in 1998. Although there is no
tasting room at the winery, wines are available at local wine shops
and restaurants, and the Greenbank Farm Wine Shop and Tasting Room
regularly features Blooms Wines.
