K Vintners is the original Charles Smith winery and is especially important for visitors who enjoy Washington Syrah. The brand began with small-lot, single-vineyard Syrah and still centers on expressive Rhône-influenced reds, supplemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and field blends.
For the true Walla Walla winery experience, the relevant location is the seasonal K Vintners property at 820 Mill Creek Road, set on historic farmland at the base of the Blue Mountains. House of Smith also operates a year-round downtown Walla Walla tasting room where visitors can taste K Vintners alongside other Charles Smith labels. The style is energetic and modern rather than formal, with music and bold branding playing a role in the experience.
Important database note: the address currently shown in this spreadsheet row — 1136 S. Albro Place, Seattle — is the House of Smith Jet City tasting room, not the K Vintners Walla Walla estate. The winery page should use the Walla Walla location if this record is intended for the Walla Walla region.
