Get Ready for the 2025 Big West Wine Fest: June 14-15 in Guerneville, CA!

Hanging out with friends under the iconic redwood trees can be an incredibly delightful experience, especially when paired with live music, delicious food, and excellent wine. The Big West Wine Festival in Guerneville, California, offers all this and more.

While I haven’t yet attended this event, it certainly piques my interest. It’s renowned for its impressive lineup of wineries, particularly those that focus on natural and low-interventionalist wines. The festival has gained significant popularity over the years, prompting organizers to expand it to two days to accommodate everyone.

The 2025 Big West Wine Festival will take place on June 14 and 15 from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM each day at Solarpunk Farms, located at 15015 Armstrong Woods Road, Guerneville, CA 95446. Tickets are available for $87.21 for one day or $151.23 for both days, including taxes and fees. Given the festival’s popularity, it’s advisable to purchase tickets in advance, as they are likely to sell out.

Interestingly, this festival is family-friendly, allowing kids to enter for free. However, parking can be challenging around downtown Guerneville, especially during events. A designated parking lot will be available at Guerneville School for $40, but those with three or more passengers can park for free, so carpooling is highly encouraged.

Once you arrive, remember to stay hydrated, enjoy the food, and pace yourself while sampling all those fantastic wines.
