Wine & Activities; Perfect Pairings

We’re three weeks into California Wine Month. This week we’re highlighting Livermore Valley as the destination it truly is, and all the amazing activities you can partake in here. And of course the wine too!

Bike around the Valley

One of our favorite, and most efficient, ways to see Livermore Valley is by bike. But don’t let the rolling hills scare you. Pedego Electric Bikes can help make your bike day a breeze with one of their electric bikes. They even offer guided wine and brewery tours!

Dine Downtown

Downtown Livermore has more than 40 restaurants to choose from, and they are all delicious! Not to mention the many wine-bars and brewpubs you can end your night with. From Italian Cuisine to a hind end steakhouse, to rooftop dining, to a rustic and modern neighborhood restaurant and market, downtown Livermore has you covered.

And to put your mind at ease, Livermore Valley restaurants and wineries are operating under COVID-19 guidelines to keep you safe while enjoying your time with us. So you don’t have to wait to visit!
