About This Winery
+ More
The Porter Family Vineyards’ wine tasting room is located in Coombsville. The Coombsville area is famous for growing wine. The horseshoe ridge of hills is layered with Bordeaux, Chardonnay, and Syrah grape vines. 14 acres of this prime grape stretch is owned by the Porter Family Vineyards. It’s surrounded by a fence, and you will know you have arrived by the statue of a farmer wrenching a crank on a well, which stands on a rolling lawn. Once you see the statue, you follow a wide path and get in through a locked gate. Following this will take you to one of the most creative and dedicated wineries in the area.

The most creative touch is the winery itself. The Porter Family vineyards follow the arch of the hills, and at the base of one of these hills is a stone arch and grand doors. The entire operation is past these doors, and the tasting room is a cave in the catacombs. To Porters felt the land was too precious to cover with their winery building, so they constructed a 17,000 square foot winery underground. With luxurious appointments and soaring ceilings made of textured concrete, this hollowed out space is reminiscent of every fantasy land you can imagine. To top everything off, a tasting always comes with a pairing of cheese, chocolate and 5 wines.
Porter is particularly well known for their Chardonnays and Syrahs, which always have just the right balance of acidity and fruitiness. Porter Family Vineyards is a must for any wine fan coming to Napa, so be sure to call for a reservation when you’re in the area.
