The Keenan Team
Who makes Keenan wine? Winemaking here is a team effort: President & Owner Michael Keenan, General Manager Matt Gardner, Cellar Master Aristeo Garcia and third-generation Reilly Keenan set the protocols, the aging and the finished style together. The rest of the team, and the winery dogs, are below. Schedule a visit →

The pack rounds out the crew. Keenan has always been a dog winery — a rotating cast of good dogs (plus Little Billy the pig and one small-but-mighty chihuahua) who supervise harvest, patrol the cellar, and greet guests on the crush pad. The faces change over the years; the tail-wagging welcome doesn’t. Planning to bring your own well-behaved dog? See Visit or the FAQ.
