K & M Wines

K & M Wines, located in Carlton, Oregon, specializes in small-production, food-friendly wines. Their tasting room, situated in downtown Carlton, offers a unique experience where visitors can taste their wines while shopping locally handcrafted goods at the Milltown Mercantile. The winery is open Thursday through Monday from noon to 5 pm, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays until 7 pm. They also host events like Carlton Night Out, which takes place every First Thursday of the month, featuring live music, soup, bread, and a glass of wine for $15. The K & M Vineyard was planted in 1983 on Parrett Mountain's south slopes and purchased by Ken Morrison and Mauro Hernandez in 2006. The vineyard is self-rooted with Pommard and Wädenswil clones of Pinot noir and the Wente clone of Chardonnay, using the Geneva Double Curtain trellising method. The winemakers also have a unique approach to vineyard management, assisted by four miniature sheep that help control weeds and grape suckers. Ken Morrison is the primary winemaker, while Mauro Hernandez works in aging and assisted living. The winery offers a wine club membership program, known as "Become an Alchemist," which provides benefits such as discounts on wine and event invitations to its members.
