Really amazing estate winery right on the OR/WA border! We decided to stop on a whim since it was right off of the main road and are so glad we did. Tastings were complimentary, with the ask to provide a cash donation instead that goes to the local food bank. We were able to walk in without a reservation and the wine maker was conducting the tastings. He was so friendly and answered all of our questions! We ended up getting another two glasses after our tasting. Inside there is standing room only for tastings and outside there are 4/5 tables.

No upfront fee for their wine club, and no Seattle area tasting room! Small, family-owned, and literally on the Washington/Oregon state line, with the address on State Line Road, on the southside of the town of Walla Walla. One of the best vintner/vineyard/people experiences I have ever had! So glad I left Walla Walla with a case of various wines. I am now on the hunt for the 2012 State Line Red back here in Seattle! Pinot Gris was delish, too! Can't wait to visit you guys again. Thanks Mike and Melissa!

Enjoyed our visit because we got to talk to the owner, winemaker. That is very uncommon for a Walla Walla winery.

This is the only winery that provides bites along with the tasting, which was a nice touch. The…read morereservation process itself was easy, but the number of follow-up emails and text messages was a bit overwhelming. I understand that it's a small, family-run business, but receiving multiple confirmations felt excessive and not quite the relaxed vibe one looks for while on vacation. That said, the property itself is gorgeous and the setting is beautiful both indoors and outdoors. We were seated outside, and the service was fantastic. Our sommelier was friendly, engaging, and made the experience enjoyable. She took the time to sit with on the parties and have a personal one on one chat .The wines themselves were excellent ,we even ended up buying a bottle. Overall, it was a lovely visit, but it's probably not a place I would prioritize returning to on a future trip.

One of the best wineries experiences I've had in WA. When we checked in, we were greeted with a…read moreglass of Prosecco, which was fresh and very enjoyable. The staff/owner, were incredibly friendly and made us feel truly welcome with her smile The ambience is modern and inviting perfect for enjoying a glass of wine. The restrooms were spotless and stylish, and a thoughtful touch was the dark chocolate in the women's restroom, which was a lovely surprise. I really enjoyed the overall tasting experience. The tasting menu included two reds and one white, all of which were excellent. The most surprising part came at the end, when we were ready to pay and the staff informed us that the tasting was complimentary. We were genuinely shocked and grateful, and we ended up purchasing two bottles.

A Memorable Visit - Warm Hospitality, Great Wine, and Dog-Friendly!…read more We visited Kinhaven on a Sunday around 2pm and were immediately greeted by Chris, who was incredibly friendly, charismatic, and knowledgeable about the wines and their vineyard sites. He took the time to make us feel welcome, ensuring we were comfortable at our shaded table (it was around 95°F!) and never rushed us through the tasting. He even remembered our names and gave great recommendations for nearby dinner spots to check out after our visit. We brought our Australian Shepherd along, and he was warmly welcomed as well. They also have their own adorable winery dog, Monty (possibly a Shih Tzu?), who was mostly inside but made an appearance toward the end of our tasting. He's a bit cautious with other dogs but very sweet. We sat outside and enjoyed the peaceful setting. We learned Kinhaven also hosts weddings--there had just been one the night before with about 50 guests dining in the orchard. It sounds absolutely picturesque! As for the wines--every single one we tried was impressively good. The $25 per person tasting fee is waived with the purchase of two bottles, which is more than worth it given the quality. Highly recommend visiting--great wine, thoughtful service, and a relaxing, welcoming environment! Exactly what we were looking for!

I tasted at this winery when I visited Walla Walla a few months ago. The location is super…read moreconvenient-- right along the Main Street and close to a bunch of other wineries, so you can make a whole afternoon (or day) of tasting if you like. The wine itself is high quality. There aren't a ton of varietals, but what they do they do right. I enjoyed being able to compare different years of the same wine side by side-- it really helps you see the small differences. The tasting room has excellent ambiance, and for those interested there is a large bear statue that makes for a nice photo op. The woman who poured for us was absolutely lovely and we had a great chat. Would definitely return!

I'd suggest giving this one a try as it not only has delicious wines, it's got a great story and fun experience. If you're a Twin Peaks/Kyle MacLachlan fan, you'll love this place. Kyle owns the winery and the tasting room staffer Stacey regaled us with fun stories about Kyle growing up in Yakima and his deep involvement with the project. If you're into bears, you will love this place. Is it weird to say that there is such a thing as tasteful bear decor? I think there is and this place has it! Huge bronze bear statue included. And oh yeah, the wines! They are lovely. It was a carefully chosen and fun tasting experience and I recommend!
