Peninsula farms, such as Nash's Organic Produce, supply local restaurants, grocery stores and farmers' markets with fresh raw ingredients. Farmers, restaurants and hotels have successfully endorsed an "eat local" attitude and it shows in our local cuisine. Ask your local lodging for their favorite places to eat on the Peninsula.

The North Olympic Peninsula's climate possesses moderate temperatures with few regional extremes because of its location relative to the ocean. This makes the area suitable for growing multiple varieties of cool weather grapes. This presents an interesting opportunity for the wine industry to develop local vineyards.

WINE
Wine from the region's boutique wineries pair nicely with our Olympic Coastal Cuisine. While most of the grapes for local wine are from Eastern Washington's most esteemed vineyards, some wineries are producing wines with locally-grown grapes.
