Monte of KINHAVEN

June 13, 2025

Estate vineyards and serene views of the Blue Mountains surround KINHAVEN winery in Walla Walla

Owners Cameron and Kasey Davenport

Breed: Havanese
Age: 8

Duties: Head Greeter & Treat Lover
Favorite Reward: Belly Rubs

Visitors to KINHAVEN in Walla Walla are greeted by the one and only Monte! With his wagging tail and irresistible charm, Monte welcomes each person as they step onto the patio and leads them to their tasting like a furry sommelier.

He mingles with guests, often scoring treats and belly rubs as payment. When the weather is fine, guests can lounge in Adirondack chairs, soaking up the sights of the estate vineyard and the Blue Mountains, all while giving Monte the pets he so rightfully demands!

From time to time Monte also visits our newest tasting room in Woodinville, offering visitors a delightful chance to sip small-lot wines while enjoying his charismatic company.
