Tips from the community

K Vintners is winemaker Charles Smith’s first winemaking project, which started with 330 cases of 1990 K Syrah sold out of the back of Charles’ 1987 Astro van. Charles Smith went on to become one of only four Washington winemakers to receive a 100 point score (for the 2006 Royal City Syrah). He has created and sold several iconic wine labels (House Wines and Charles Smith Wines), and even launched one of the most ambitious plantings in Washington State with his Golden West Pinot Noir project. K Vintners is only open to the public in this location during the spring and summer, and they do require a reservation. Even if you aren’t able to get a reservation at K Vintners, make sure to stop for the photo op in front of the giant K that sits on the outskirts of Phil Lane Estate Vineyard, which you’ll drive right past on your way back into town.
