Taste: The Livermore Valley Wine Experience

TASTE: The Livermore Valley Wine Experience | October 15–18, 2026

Plan a weekend you'll remember with events you won't forget. 

This October, the Livermore Valley wine community invites you to make it a weekend — a carefully curated lineup of experiences you won't find anywhere else, dreamed up by the winemakers, chefs, and growers who know this valley best. These aren't your standard tastings. They're the events you're not going to want to miss.

It all starts with decadence. Taste Our Terroir returns Thursday night to kick off the weekend in style — and this year it moves indoors to the newly renovated Concannon Vineyard Event Center. Twenty winery-and-restaurant teams go head-to-head with their best pairings, and for the first time ever, we're introducing the Industry Best award, where the competing teams cast votes for their favorite pairing of the night. You'll vote too — for Best Red and Best White — before the celebration spills outside for an awards ceremony and dancing under the stars.

From there, the weekend unfolds with something new at every turn:

• Friday — Sip and savor your way through Cheese, Chocolate & Cheers!, step into a literary happy hour at A Taste of Stories, then trade your glass for boots at Cattle, Cabernet & Country under the stars at McGrail Vineyards. 
• Saturday — Walk the vines with legendary grower Julio Covarrubias & Friends at Taste YOUR Terroir, bring Bourbon Street to wine country at A New Orleans Afternoon, then slip into the 1920's at Barrels & Bootleggers: A Speakeasy Wine Affair.
• Sunday — Toast the rise of Livermore sparkling at Bubbles, Brunch & B-Sides, cuff your pants for a harvest grape stomp at Stomp, Pour & Pair, or take a deep dive into aromatic whites at 2 Winemakers, 1 Aromatic Journey.

What's different this year? Nearly everything. New venues, new formats, and new ideas — innovative, immersive, and unmistakably Livermore Valley. Pick a single experience or string them together into a full weekend escape.

This is wine country, reimagined. Make it a weekend.
