Livermore Wineries

Plan a Wine Tasting Trip to the Livermore Wine Country

It's time to plan your own wine tasting tour of the wonderful Livermore Wineries. The Livermore Valley is one of the oldest wine regions in California. The first commercial grapes were planted in the 1840s by Robert Livermore.

Livermore Valley Wine Country is located in San Francisco’s East Bay Area approximately 30 miles east of San Francisco. It includes wineries in Livermore, Pleasanton, Sunol, and Castro Valley. This is a wonderful area for a California Wine Tour.

We live just a short 35 minute drive from the Livermore Wine Country. We enjoyed wine tasting for many years before we discovered how many wonderful wineries there are in Livermore that produce top quality wines. Now we go back again and again to enjoy the world class wines, beautiful scenery, and friendly people.

In addition to wine tasting, the Livermore Valley also offers great restaurants, challenging golf courses, unique accommodations, hiking, and shopping. Enjoy a California Wine Tour and begin exploring Livermore.
