In January 2024, Experience Whidbey was launched to connect tourists and island locals to the one-of-a-kind craft beverage producers in the community. A map brochure, online presence, and social media hub, Experience Whidbey is as much a resource for visitors as it is a promotion of the island’s craft beverage entrepreneurship. 

“We are truly an island-wide initiative, with producers as far south as Clinton and all the way up to Oak Harbor,” said Co-Founder Dave Meyer. “This island is an inspiring place to live, and we believe it fosters a community of creators, risk-takers, and explorers—the result is a perfect blend of island and innovation that makes these Experience Whidbey destinations so unique.”
