Looking for a great way to unwind? A place to gather and be with friends and community? There is nothing cozier on a drizzly winter afternoon than curling up with a glass of wine. And while a glass of wine at home is nice, it’s a real treat to get to settle back–maybe even around a firepit–and talk directly to winemakers, hearing from them about the wine they produce and getting to taste the perfect flight. This winter, the rain has been tapping–well, pounding–on our windows and we have been finding so much joy in the warm and welcoming tasting rooms of Livermore Valley Wine Community. Here are our top cozy spots this season.

We are so thrilled to finally share with you that the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association has gone through a major update in our name and brand.
The Association is dedicated to advance, protect and promote the region’s quality wines, vineyards and experiences. Our collective decision for a new name and look was made to better reflect the community of growers and vintners in Livermore Valley and their dedication to being a destination that intersects incredible wines with family-style hospitality.
It reads like the name of a horror movie but is the complete opposite! Actually, the word “terroir” means “soil” in French and when you’re talking about a wine-growing region, otherwise known as a “Viticultural Area,” the soil is of utmost importance. The French use the phrase “gout de terroir” when speaking of certain wines. It translates to “taste of the soil” and no, it doesn’t mean that the wine taste like dirt, it refers to that rich, earthy flavor that some wines carry.
