Wente Vineyards
In 1981, the Wente family purchased the long abandoned Cresta Blanca winery site. Few views are as breathtaking in Livermore, and with a lot of hard work and determination the winery began to reclaim its former elegance.

The grounds were replanted with vineyards at the foot of the hillsides, adding even more beauty to the natural surroundings. Most exciting was restoration of the sandstone caves, which once again provide ideal resting quarters for sparkling wines as they age and mature.

When the renovation was complete, the Wente Vineyards Event Center quickly established itself as a popular site for weddings, receptions, banquets, conferences, private parties, and other celebrations.

In addition to the tasting room, the site also features the award-winning Restaurant at Wente Vineyards, a championship golf course, and the famous summer concert series.

Past concert series artists include The Beach Boys, Tony Bennett, Harry Connick, Jr., Sheryl Crow, Earth, Wind & Fire, John Fogerty, Chris Isaak, Diana Krall, Steve Martin, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, Diana Ross, Train, Ringo Starr, James Taylor, Frankie Valli, Wynonna, and many more.

The Vineyard Tasting Room is located at the Wente Vineyards Event Center on Arroyo Road. Cave tours are available to the public on weekends.

In the tasting room, friendly and proficient wine tasting staff guides visitors through a variety of wine flights, sampling the best of California varietals, as well as the more exclusive Small-Lot and The Nth Degree wines.

Public Cave Tour & Tastings are also offered on weekends for a fee.

Wine Varietals: Over 30 varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Zinfandel

Wine Country Quilts: A Bounty of Flavorful Projects for Any Palette

Wine Country Quilts offers patient tutorials on unfamiliar techniques that hand-hold beginners, evoking the easy elegance of a well-aged cabernet. Photographs pop with lush, nature-hued inspiration, making it as much armchair travelogue as workbench guide. The patterns feel more like idea-sparkers than full blueprints, teasing rather than pouring out every last detail.
