Cork & Fork: Where Community, Cuisine, and Livermore Valley Wine Come Together

Written by

There’s something special about May in Livermore Valley. The days stretch a little longer, the patios fill up, and the energy of the region shifts into celebration mode. During Livermore Valley Wine Month, that spirit comes to life in one of the most community-driven ways possible: Cork & Fork.

At its heart, Cork & Fork is a true coming together of the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association, downtown Livermore restaurants and wine bars, and the support of Alameda County Supervisor David Haubert. It’s a shared effort to spotlight what makes this region so unique: incredible wine, vibrant local businesses, and a community that shows up for one another.

A Toast to Local

Throughout the month of May, participating downtown Livermore locations are offering guests $15 off bottles of Livermore Valley wine. It’s a simple invitation with a big impact: explore local wine lists, try something new, revisit a favorite, and experience the region in a way that feels both elevated and easy.

This is wine tasting as it should be, at your favorite table, paired with great food, good company, and the unmistakable buzz of downtown Livermore.

The Power of Partnership

Cork & Fork is a reflection of what happens when a community works together. By bridging wineries with local restaurants and wine bars, the program creates a seamless experience for both visitors and locals, one that supports small businesses across multiple industries.

With the generous backing of Supervisor David Haubert, this initiative also highlights the importance of investing in local agriculture and hospitality. It’s about more than just enjoying a great bottle of wine, it’s about sustaining the people and places that make Livermore Valley thrive. Cork & Fork is a testament to the power of local leadership, championing small businesses, supporting regional agriculture, and helping create opportunities for the community to come together over great food and Livermore Valley wine.

Downtown Livermore, in Full Swing

May is the perfect time to experience it all. Outdoor dining is in full bloom, the Thursday Night Farmers’ Market brings the streets to life, and warm evenings set the scene for lingering just a little longer over that second glass.

Cork & Fork taps into that energy, offering a reason to explore, connect, and celebrate whether you’re planning a night out, meeting friends after work, or making a full day of it in Livermore Valley.

A Community Invitation

More than anything, Cork & Fork is an open invitation. To discover, or rediscover the wines grown right here in Livermore Valley. To support local restaurants and wine bars. To be part of something that feels distinctly rooted in place.

This May, pull up a chair, order the bottle, and raise a glass to Livermore Valley.
