Camano Island, WA

Fulfilling my interest and passion for wine, we had the opportunity to purchase the Great Blue Heron Wine Cellars on Camano Island. Grew the wine club from 21 members to 200. We offered wine tasting, wine events, wine education, catering, and a place for customers to hang out and get to know their neighbors. Extremely rewarding, exhausting, and a dream.
