Our story starts five million years ago when a small sandpiper wandered along the shore, seeing a world we will never know. The tiny tracks the sandpiper left behind were covered with sediment and fossilized by the geological forces that created what is now the Porter Family Vineyards in the Coombsville region of Napa Valley.

From our hillside vineyards and underground winery, our Family makes small amounts of beautifully hand-crafted wines—each one carrying the unique signature of this place.

We retain the fossilized footprints of the sandpiper found on our property as a reminder of the incredible history of our winegrowing site, as we turn our heads to the future and the latest in winemaking arts to craft our special wines.

The Porter Family Vineyards family tree has three main branches: the winemaking team, the vineyard team, and the sales team. The Porters and Wolfes themselves are deeply entwined in each of these branches, providing leadership, support, or hard labor to whatever task is at hand, whether it’s helping during harvest and crush operations, pouring tastings and giving tours, designing new technology and solving problems, conducting vineyard experiments, running laboratory analyses, planning events, or balancing the books. This is truly a family owned and operated venture.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
