Surrounded by vineyards and golden hillsides, yet less than an hour from San Francisco – Livermore is ideally located for trips to the mountains or the ocean. Great hospitality, community spirit, and a sense of history with a tendency towards the futuristic – this is the image of California and an essential part of Livermore's appeal.

Tour California's Original Wine Country

Award-winning quality permeates those who come to experience the 26 friendly wineries of the Livermore Valley. The quiet and unrushed community of winemakers and growers who often double as tasting room hosts offers the same friendly hospitality that visitors experienced over a century ago. Winemaking is a way of life as much as it is a vocation to these vintners, and, given the Livermore Valley's ideal climate and soil, it's no wonder that everyone from fourth generation Livermore Valley vintners to the cadre of new, talented winemakers strives to make wines that reflect the character and potential of this region.
