Porter Creek Vineyards is small family winery with a rich history of winegrowing based on innovation, independence, passion and respect for the land. In many respects our Estate has the feel of a property that has been unchanged by time and the glitz of the modern wine business. Yet the principles that have guided our formation are well ahead of the time, then and now: balanced wines with soul, low intervention, integrated winemaking, and stewardship of the farm and surrounding environment.
Wine tastings are by appointment, via the Book Now link above (walk-ins are welcome – space permitting).
We are pleased to announce new private vineyard and winery tours with owner, winemaker and organic viticulturist Alex Davis! Join Alex for an epic 4-wheel drive truck tour of our steep hillside vineyards.
Enjoy the spectacular views from the hilltop. View first hand all of the individual vineyards sites on the property and the winery where everything is made. Learn about our ecological farming practices, minimal intervention winemaking, what Alex integrates from his time in Burgundy and old Westside Road winemaking lore.
Alex grew up on this property in the late 1970’s and 1980’s as “the boy next door” to all of the OG’s of the local Pinot Noir movement, such as Davis Bynum, Gary Farrell, Burt Williams, Ed Selyem, Joe & Tom Rochioli and of course his father, Porter Creek founder, George Davis. This part of the experience should last about 45 minutes, and then included in the price is our “Grand Wine Tasting” at our tasting room, now with a much deeper understanding of how and where our wines are produced.
*Upon request the tour can been done on foot provided the weather is conducive and everyone is in the group is up for a brisk hike. The tour can be between 2-5 guests, $125 per person or $100/person for our wine club members.
If you would like to make a reservation, you can do so right here on our website through Tock. It is also possible to email or call us at 707-433-6321 to request a reservation for a time not listed. You can also book a wine tasting reservation without a tour, for our “Grand Wine Tasting”, which includes one Chardonnay and 4 Pinot Noirs…all grown, made, bottled and labelled on our property.
Of course, there is always a “surprise” bonus wine of our choice, for a total of 6 wines presented, for $50 per person. A 2-bottle purchase per person waives the $50 “Grand Wine Tasting”. For your tasting experience, you are welcome to join us at our famous wine bar in the tasting room, or sit at one of our 20 outside tables, all offering beautiful views of our property. There is a $25, non-refundable, outside table-service fee if you choose our outdoor experience.
Wine industry tastings are permitted on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. If you are a current distributor of our wines, or are an employee at a winery in the Russian River, Dry Creek, or Alexander valleys, we are happy to offer a complimentary tasting to you. When making your reservation, please let us know how many people in your group fit this requirement.
Children are welcome, but must remain seated with you at your table. If children wish to leave the table, they must be accompanied by an adult from their party.
We can host one canine customer per table.
