Livermore Valley Wine Country
Home to 50 Wineries and Tasting Establishments
Livermore Valley is one of California's oldest winegrowing areas, situated in Alameda County's Tri-Valley region, about an hour away from San Francisco. Its history dates back to the 19th century, with early plantings by Spanish missionaries and commercial vineyards established by Robert Livermore and others in the 1840s. By the late 1800s, Livermore Valley had gained international recognition for wines from pioneering producers Wente and Concannon (both founded in 1883).
The region is mightily enhanced by more than 3,000 acres of vineyards, producing everything from crisp Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs to robust Cabernet Sauvignons, Petite Sirahs, and international varieties like Tempranillo, Syrah, and Nebbiolo. The wineries and vineyards are actively promoted by the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association.
Wineries range from small, family-run operations emphasizing estate-grown fruit, to historic leaders of the California wine industry, including Concannon, Wente, and Mirassou. The area features a mix of historic estates and newer producers, often with events, tours, and scenic vineyard views.
