Throughout May, participating Downtown Livermore restaurants and wine bars are offering $15 off any bottle of Livermore Valley wine purchased and enjoyed on-site. It's a community-wide invitation to discover — or rediscover — the incredible wines grown right in our backyard, all while supporting local dining. Funded through the generous support of Alameda County Supervisor David Haubert, this program makes it easier than ever to raise a glass to our region.
Kick off Livermore Valley Wine Month the right way, on International Sauvignon Blanc Day, with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, Spanish guitar drifting across the lawn, and a spread of Spanish and Mexican-inspired bites made to match. The Sauvignon Blanc Soirée at Concannon Vineyard is a relaxed, elegant evening celebrating one of Livermore Valley's signature varietals on the day the world raises a glass to it.
The Livermore Valley Vintners Collective's official release party, held among the scenic olive grove at Purple Orchid. Six winemakers — each working from a shared framework of 100% Livermore Valley fruit — will pour their 2023 vintage red blends alongside small bites by On the Vine Catering. It's a Derby-themed afternoon of great wine, great conversation, and a front-row look at one of the region's most exciting collaborative winemaking projects.
There's no better place to celebrate Mom than in wine country. Livermore Valley wineries pull out all the stops Mother's Day weekend with picnics on the lawn, special tastings, live music, food pairings, and brunches set among the vines. Whether you're looking for a leisurely afternoon with a bottle and a blanket or a curated tasting experience, you'll find it here. Visit lvwine.org for the full list of participating wineries and events.
The region's premier annual wine showcase returns to the stunning hilltop setting of McGrail Vineyards for an evening unlike any other. In 2026, Uncorked! marks an exciting evolution — every wine poured has earned a Gold Medal or higher at the newly launched California Signature Wine Awards, a rigorous blind-tasting competition born from the union of the Alameda County Fair Wine Competition and LVWC's own Uncorked! judging. The evening also features an expert-led seminar and culminates with the live announcement of Uncorked! Best Red and Best White — Livermore Valley's highest wine honors. If you want to taste some the best of what this region produces, this is the night to do it.
One of the longest-running festivals in the East Bay takes over Historic Downtown Livermore for two days of wine, craft beer, live music, outdoor dining, boutique shopping, and community. Eight local Livermore Valley wineries will be pouring in two tasting lounges — at Stockmen's Park and Bankhead Plaza — alongside four local breweries and 14 live acts across two entertainment stages. With 120+ vendors, a kids zone, and free general admission, it's a true celebration of everything that makes Livermore special. Wine and beer tasting tickets available online and on-site.
Taking place on International Chardonnay Day, Step inside the historic Wente Caves for a one-of-a-kind evening honoring the grape that put Livermore Valley on the map. Fourteen local winegrowers will pour their unique takes on Chardonnay, tracing a "Chardonnay Rainbow" from bright and crisp to rich and full. The story runs deep here — Charles Wetmore planted the first Chardonnay cuttings in California on this very soil in the 1880s, and the Wente Clone that emerged is now the foundation for an estimated 75% of all California Chardonnay. Wood-fired pizza, Pacific tide tacos, artisanal cheeses, and live music round out the evening.
Four of Livermore Valley's most passionate small-lot producers — Omega Road Winery, Rosa Fierro Cellars, Sakura Winery, and Pruett Estate Winery — come together for an intimate tasting experience showcasing the breadth and creativity of artisan winemaking. Each winery pours five of their most noteworthy wines: some are beloved classics, some are happy accidents, and all are worth discovering.
Close out Livermore Valley Wine Month with a bang at the 4th Annual Cab Franc-A-Palooza — billed as the most diverse Cab Franc festival in the world. Five hundred guests gather at the beautiful Purple Orchid Resort to taste 100+ wines from 50+ producers spanning California, France, Italy, and beyond. Food trucks, live music, and winemakers from around the globe make this a true celebration of a varietal Livermore Valley is increasingly claiming as its own.
