Livermore Valley is the Bay Area’s award-winning wine destination. Located just 45 miles east of San Francisco and north of San Jose, the Livermore Valley crafts everyday luxury with quality and passion.
Nestled just east of the San Francisco Bay, the Livermore Valley Wine Community has long been a cornerstone of California’s rich viticultural heritage. In a significant move to honor this legacy and chart a course for the future, our region has officially designated Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc as our signature varietals. This decision not only pays homage to our valley’s historical roots but also positions us at the forefront of contemporary winemaking trends.
With roots dating back to the 1800s, Livermore Valley is one of California’s oldest wine regions. Our rich history, including the pioneering work of winemaker C. H. Wente, offers a deep connection to the land and an enduring legacy of excellence that enhances every visit. https://www.lvwine.org/history.php
