Wente Vineyards is the country’s oldest, continuously operated family-owned winery founded 130 years ago. Wente Vineyards released the nation’s first varietally labeled Chardonnay, a 1936 vintage, and is also known as “California’s First Family of Chardonnay™.” Concannon Vineyards produced America’s first Petite Sirah in 1961 and is the pioneer for the famous “Concannon Clones 7, 8 & 11,” which are the backbone to California Cabernet Sauvignon and are replanted in many prestigious California vineyards.


Livermore Valley Wine Country Festival May 3-4 for wine and craft beer tasting, arts, crafts, shopping, dining and six stages of live enter- tainment for all ages. Livermore is beer country, too. Tap rooms and alehouses offer great selections of craft brews from the San Francisco Bay Area and our own Altamont Beer Works, Working Man Brewery and new-to-town Eight Bridges Brewery.
