Porter Bass Winery
Updated: Jan 12
Through the Redwood forest, over the troll bridge, past the gum drop meadow, under the twirly-swirly grape vines, hitch a ride on a fairies back, then knock three times on the hobbit door, drink the red potion and BAM! You’ve arrived.

So maybe you’ll want to double check my directions with Google Maps…but really…the drive to this appointment only Guerneville Winery is a must.
Located about 10 minutes from downtown Guerneville, 9 miles east of the ocean.
Enjoy the pretty drive on Mays Canyon Rd. before arriving at this small family owned winery.
You’re in coastal Russian River Valley wine country.

In 1980, the Bass family purchased the rundown century old 25 acre vineyard.
Surrounded by dense Redwood forests.
They arduously restored eroded, depleted soil overgrown with blackberries and poison oak.
