Leaving a Legacy, Living a Legacy

In Livermore Valley, winemaking is more than a craft—it’s a legacy rooted in deep family traditions and nurtured through generations. This Father’s Day, we celebrate the enduring bond between fathers and sons who have dedicated their lives to the vines, passing down not just skills and stories, but a shared passion for excellence in every bottle. At wineries like Fenestra Winery, Mitchell Katz Winery, The Steven Kent Winery, and Retzlaff Vineyards Estate Winery, the next generation is not only honoring the vision of their fathers, but also shaping a future that reflects their own unique voice. These family-run vineyards are living proof that in Livermore Valley, heritage and innovation grow side by side, creating wines—and legacies—that stand the test of time. These stories remind us that legacy isn’t just something we leave behind—it’s something we live, shape, and savor with every vintage. Read More
