Great: Designated Drivers fee at $10 and Shuttle Buses/Limosines on Sunday of Sun/Mon event.Great: Wine varieties, music, vendors, booklet outlining wineries and location of 'pour location' for each winery that elected to pour at another winery, very helpful.Not Great: Heat, timing. Perhaps 4 pm to 8 pm would have been cooler.

A beautiful drive through the countryside to visit the area wineries. The leaves have turned and it is like a picture post card.

Our recent visit to Livermore was just for a night but we've been before. Just seems a bit rough around the edges now more than before. Still the nice restaurants and ability to walk through downtown shopping area but just outside of that (Stanley Blvd/Railroad Ave/Livermore Ave) are where you'd need a buddy with you...Beautiful winery's abound and close to San Francisco are great!

Each year, during Christmas, Valentines Day, and Labor Day, there are major wine events in the Livermore Valley just east of San Francisco. Excellent wine, often music and crafts, make a visit a special event for guests to the San Francisco Bay Area. Many wineries are open during the week for visits and offer an uncrowded opportunity to enjoy great wine and a beautiful vineyard atmosphere. There a places to enjoy wine and a picnic at many wineries.Its lower cost than the Napa and Sonoma wineries for tastings and closer in for access.Hal

Livermore Valley is far lesser known than the regions north of San Francisco but with about 40 wineries the region is more intimate. The wine making has an equally admirable history. Considered "East Bay" it's only about 40 miles from SF and Oakland and close enough to San Jose that people live here and commute to their jobs in Silicon Valley. The towns of Pleasanton, Danville and Livermore provide a nice atmosphere to stroll with nice restaurants and shopping. Dublin has a great reputation for ethnic restaurants. Petite Syrah and Chardonnay seem to be the signature varietals of wine but they are also adept at red blends with many grape varieties on the vine. Concannon and Wente are the big winery visits but smaller, family owned wineries are the majority. Check on opening hours for the smaller wineries with many welcoming guests Thursday-Sunday. Bring your golf clubs if you play. Some stunning courses around there.

Napa has some good wines, but it can be a bit too crowded and commercial. Pack a picnic and head to Livermore to try out excellent affordable wines in a friendly, warm setting. This is an area of experimentation, so you can try out unusual ports (Westover), Portugese wines (Fenestra) and a whole lot more. Many have picnic areas and increasingly, the town offers quality restaurants as well. It is peaceful, less crowded and you can enjoy chatting with the winemakers as you taste.

Gorgeous valley. North of the freeway are the rolling hills. Beautiful and peaceful and great for biking.

You feel that you are on vacation....a few minutes from home. Wonderful wine tasting experience and exciting restaurants downtown....

On a recent visit to California,I was invited by friends to visit several Livermore wineries. It was certainly a great day out, and very interesting to find out about the different vineyards/wines. The one that stood out above the rest for me was Ruby Hill. The staff were very welcoming and very informative (despite the fact that there were few visitors, at some of the other vineyards it felt that they just wanted you to quickly taste the wine, buy and go, but it was the complete opposite ay Ruby Hill, where the pace was much more sedate, giving you time to really enjoy the wine). If you only have time to visit one vineyard in Livermore, then I'd certainly suggest that you head for Ruby Hill, you won't be disappointed.

I belong to a couple of wine clubs in the Livermore Valley. The people there are friendly and it's a nice area to stop when we're going to the central valley.
