Walked in and the patio/garden outside was res, only but sat at the bar and the wonderful and kind woman behind the bar was amazing!!! Loved the sparkling Sauvignon blanc and the Mothers cab. Definitely generous with the tasting pours!!! A must when wine tasting in Livermore read more

I was so excited to visit for a tasting after trying one of their wines at an event in downtown Walnut Creek. Sadly, the experience did not live up to my expectations. Cons - our server asked to see our IDs immediately (which is not a problem as I always expect to show my ID). The problem happened when the server was adamant my partner was "not the same person" on the ID. He then pulled out a second government ID and she was insistent AGAIN that it was not him. At this point it was already an awkward beginning and she had to get another person to check BOTH his LEGAL IDs to make sure it's him. That was a weird start to the tasting. - the pours are very small. I realize it's a "tasting" but I have been to many places where they give you twice the amount of wine -we bought a bottle for home, but once we got home realized it was not the correct one (this is partially our fault because we did not check before we left) -outdoor seating can be a little chilly because not all seats have heaters Pros - we had a reservation on a Monday afternoon which was easy to make and we were sat right away - you get a welcome glass of their sparkling wine - Mondays are 2 for 1 tastings, so a great deal for a casual weekday outing - all the wines we tasted were great read more

I've been a member for quite some time now and the three stars provided reflect solely on their service. The charcuterie type food is common as in any other winery. The ambiance is good. I don't frequent often, we make it out at least 4x a year. This last year, the times I have been there, service has lacked. Simply put, they are not accommodating and are not willing to try. As a comparison, I've gone to several neighboring wineries where the service is a 5+. I am a loyal customer however I am strongly considering taking my business elsewhere. read more

The wife and I brought 2 other couples with us that are not big wine drinkers for a tasting on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated on the patio and the day was pleasantly warm but not too warm. Concannon has a couple of refrigerators in the main area of the tasting room where they have various meats and cheeses. We bought some of these to enjoy with our tasting and they really elevated the experience. Our host was very friendly and knowledgeable and all of our group had a great time. Even those that were fairly new to wine. read more

Came by on Saturday after July 4th. Pretty busy, but still had openings. A bit awkward at FOH with some disorganization. Nonetheless, we were able to get sat outside. Chair's cushion kept falling through for some reason so that was a bit annoying. Tasting cost is $30/per head. Decent weather. Parking available on-site. read more

We celebrate the bride to be with a traditional bachelorette party at concannon this weekend. It was a blastttt. The wine was amazing and I really enjoyed the prepackaged snacks they offer. A very special shoutout to Michelle who made our experience unforgettable. She was so approachable and funny. You can tell she really likes her job! The estate is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting outside despite the gloomy weather, I highly recommend taking a walk around the winery and exploring their garden. read more

From sparkling whites to Zinfandel the wine was pleasing to my palette, spicy, not too tannic, fruity aroma, the Mothervine Cab was spicy and not tannic and the lastly the Captain Joe's Petite Sirah, fruity aroma, and tannic. I ended with the crimson and clover that was light, spicy, and flavorful. Arlo my server was the best. read more

When we arrived at Concannon winery, we realized we were the only people tasting on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. What a treat that turned out to be! We had absolutely attentive service from a great wine tasting Steward/ host. He was not only knowledgeable about the wine, but also about the winery, the history of the area, and many other parts of the wine industry. We really appreciated everything he added to our experience. The wines at concannon are all solid, and a few are are exquisite. We enjoyed our visit and would return! Thank you for a lovely afternoon! read more

Prices were reasonable, but it adds up if you order accompaniments. Wines were delicious and our server, an older gentleman, was very knowledgeable about the grapes, vintage, and history of the winery. He answered all of our questions thoroughly. The patio seating was very relaxing with a great view of the vineyards. There's also a lovely fountain that we took photos in front of. We chose this specific winery because we were allowed to bring dog and our 6 month old (children are allowed on specific days only). Also because it was very accessible, no stairs and fully paved paths. All in all we had a very nice anniversary outting. read more

Came here for a Yelp event and honestly wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. First off, it's tucked away in Livermore which makes it way more convenient than driving all the way out to Napa--and honestly, the wine here is better than a few places I've been to in Napa. Service was great. The man helping us was super friendly and gave such fun history facts about the winery. He answered all our questions and made the whole experience feel casual and not intimidating, which I appreciated since we're still kind of new to wine tasting. The ambiance was beautiful--super peaceful, with a really pretty outdoor terrace and plenty of space to sit, sip, and just chill. We ended up grabbing a few snacks and leaving with two bottles of wine, so clearly we were into it. Already thinking about coming back on a weekend for a more laid-back visit outside of the Yelp event. Definitely a spot I'd return to, especially as someone just getting into the wine scene. read more

Visited Concannon for a tasting as part of the Livermore Wine Pass. We were literally the only customers there. The staff was friendly and mostly left us alone to get other work done. We did not enjoy the Gruner Veltliner but loved the 2023 Reserve Crimson & Clover. We took home a case. read more

My first winery visit in Concannon Vineyard, Livermore was absolutely amazing! My girls and I wanted to spend a Saturday afternoon wine tasting and was able to get paired with Barry as our wine man! He was really informative and had shared the best jokes! The wine itself here was super yummy and had many great options! I loved that they had small bites we could purchase, and we ended up getting crackers and a spinach artichoke dip which paired really well with the wines we tried! The property was very well kept, so beautiful, and very welcoming. I definitely would recommend! read more

We had a wonderful time with our server who was knowledgeable and had some facts about the vineyard itself and the wines. Unfortunately, I forgot her name. These are the wines we tried: - 2023 Reserve Rose of Petite Sirah: delicious, light but flavorful and dry. - 2021 Reserve Chardonnay: Semi buttery, tastes bright - Assemblage Blanc: tasty but light - 2020 Reserve Stampmaker's GSM: tasty every day red, didn't seem to stand out at all - 2019 Reserve Assemblage Red: tastes fruity with a slight peppery note at the end - 2017 Estate Cab Sauv Red Blend: bold and slightly smokey - Cab Sauv Mother Vine: Tastes jammy to me and delicious - 2017 Reserve Petite Sirah: decadent and deep flavors, dark. The grounds are pretty big and lots of seating available. It's cool that they have adults only on the weekends but difficult for families to come enjoy some wine. Next time might be a good idea to bring a picnic on the lawn area and enjoy a nice bottle. Overall their prices on bottles are a spectrum of around $30-80. Slightly on the middle to higher end which may not be your thing. Overall through the tasting, I'm not sure anything wow'd me that I would pay too much for a bottle. I think our favorite had to be the Rose of Petite Sirah. read more

Wanted to try a different wine region and decided to make a trip out to Livermore and visit this staple winery. We came pretty early so there were plenty of tables outside. The venue overall was pretty impressive with lots of space and pretty patio furniture. We did their wine tasting, which were generally good but also loved that they were dog friendly read more

We came as guests for wine tasting and loved the experience. Server was fun and he also loved his job talking to us. We all liked most of these wines including their Darcy Kent white blend that was memorable. Their petite syrahs and GSM are the winners here . New owners are going to make this a destination tasting and food stop. read more

Not rating the wine, that's too subjective. The experience here is top-notch in the Livermore Valley. The entryway is beautiful, and parking is plentiful. The check-in process was a little clunky, especially with many people checking in right at opening time. But when appointments are required, the business should know how many to expect and be prepared. Once we were seated, our server greeted us quickly, and our flight order was quickly taken. The server was attentive to our empty glasses and returned quickly with our next pour. The server was as chatty as expected and respectful/not pushy about joining the wine club when we stated we did not intend to join another wine club. The tasting patio is comfortable and shaded. The landscaping of the area was attractive. read more

Concannon Vineyard - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Livermore, California

I have the 2024 Livermore Wine Passport and a friend and I decided to go on a Saturday afternoon. We got there around 3:15pm and the parking lot was almost full but we were able to find a spot. They have several parking lots but they also tend to be quite popular. We had to wait about 10 mins to be checked in and since there was no outside seating (the weather was perfect), we were seated in smaller room in a barn like building. Beautiful structure. There were about 5 other tables filled and by the time we left at 5pm, the room was full. Our server, Jim was great. He not only talked about each wine that he poured but when he learnt that I don't care for whites, he got me a taste of Rose that was not on the tasting menu. The tasting comes with 6 pours with an extra. That was too much wine for me and I did not try the last surprise pour but my friend loved it and even bought a bottle. It was busy so Jim took some time getting us waters. In the meantime, we walked up to the counter to ask the other server, a woman for water and also if they had any corks they could spare. Even though she was not busy, she asked us to ask Jim for water and for the corks. She is the reason for 1 star missing. They had cheese, crackers and other food for sale even though we did not buy anything. The location and vineyard are beautiful, the wines were fantastic, especially the Sav Blanc and Chardonnay and our server Jim was a joy. He not only gave me a wine bag full of corks but asked me to come back with a big box because they had a barrel full of corks and I think I will! Great experience! read more

Great experience. All the staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We arrived 30 minutes early and expected a wait however they welcomed us in to a clean table pretty much as soon as we arrived. We enjoyed the drinks and the server was able to answer all questions and make the experience great. The views were great of the vineyards, garden, etc... We were planning on trying a wine or two for a fish dinner and asked for recommendations. She let us try it with generous pours before we gladly decided to purchase. Overall great experience and would heavily recommend. read more

This might be the worst winery I have ever been to. I want to preface this review with how I learned of this place. In one of the Elite Events, Concannon was one of the vendors that was doing some wine tasting. I tried their red blend and I loved it. I loved it so much that I planned my birthday weekend to visit this winery. I went on a Saturday and made a reservation for 11:30am. We were a bit early so we waited in the car until they opened. As we walked in, an older couple were helped and then it was us. The hostess greeted us, gave us our welcome wines and seated us outside in the patio overlooking the garden area. That is when the service ended. We sat and waited for someone to start our wine tasting, and nothing. Staff walked by us, while we patiently waited. People before us and after us were going through their tastings and we just sat there, looking dumb and unwelcome. I told my bf we will keep waiting until 12pm and then if no one says a word to us, we are walking out. 12pm strikes and we stood up and went to the front. I was greeted by someone who looked like a Manager, and an older lady who was actually in the Yelp event. I mentioned we are not serviced for 30mins so we are leaving and this man says "did you check in?" I took offense but said "yes we did." He apologized and asked what they can do for us and we said nothing and we are leaving. My experience here left a very sour taste in my mouth. It was a beginning of a celebration that ended poorly. I am so glad the rest of my day in the other wineries were amazing. I say skip this one. Livermore has other amazing wineries with great wines. read more

We went to do some wine tasting, I think the people that work there should not be wearing Trump supporter cowboy hat. I felt racist to advertise your beliefs. Keep your preference to yourself. We have been member for 10 years. I like the workers to be partial. read more

The historical components of this wine tasting experience felt really compelling. The summer and lighter focused wines were really special and unique. The reds were decent and did not disappoint. The customer service was phenomenal, it's clear that this winery cares about their customers and staff. May have to join their membership sometime in the near future. :) read more

Beautiful, delicious, amazing! My family and I were served by Ashley and Trevor and were amazed at their knowledge! Ashley had a food pairing for each wine we tasted and Trevor was a joy to be around. We also enjoyed the snacks they sell onsite with the charcuterie box having everything you need. The winery is gorgeous and the tasting spaces had copious amounts of shade. The Victorian home on the property is so cute and Ashley knew the answer to every question we had about it. The wines are reasonably priced for the taste. We ended up buying 4 bottles, you must try the Rose Petit Sirah! read more

A pretty nice wine tasting experience from Bay Area without doing the Napa drive. This place is big, has super views and lots of outdoor seating. As it was windy, we chose to sit inside. Great place to have picnics in Summer as their lawns are big. We visited with friends and I highly recommend making reservations if you wish to spend sometime and hit up the wine tasting. Lots of parking available and drive wasn't that far from Pleasanton. read more

I love this winery. It's easy going and they allow dogs (even on the patio). The staff is always nice and welcoming. There is also a cute shop inside! The patio doesn't allow outside food (wish this would change as prices are pretty steep), but you can bring outside food in the grass area. Easy parking and beautiful views! If you become a regular they do change out their tasting wines! read more

Concannon was recommended to me by a friend and I decided to go the next day on Monday. We did not have a reservation but got there right when they opened at 1030. On Mondays they have a special, 2 for 1 tasting price, otherwise it is $30/person. Trevor greeted us kindly at the door and was our wine expert throughout the tasting. We sat outside under the pavilion and Trevor told us all about their different wines. There is lots of seating both inside and out. Trevor was very knowledgeable and friendly ! My favorite was the "reserve rose of petite sirah". Can't wait to visit again! read more

While I don't have too much experience with wineries, I have to say that my experience here was very enjoyable. The staff was extremely friendly and personable, a big thanks to Ashley who made our time here something to remember. Coming into the winery we got a little lost as we accidentally entered through the service entrance but we eventually found our way to where we were supposed to go. We found ourselves outside a very well refurbished barn looking structure and were checked in and seated very quickly. Our tasting room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated, just a fun place to try some wine. For our tasting today we had the library flight with a chocolate pairing and we were very happy with what we got. The experience came with three chocolates and 6 samplings of wine and each seemed to be better than the last. The chocolate complimented the paired wines extremely well and the finish of a sweet port was a great way to end the tasting... Or so we thought as we were surprised with a final Cab to really finish off the tasting. The wine was delicious in addition to the chocolate pairings, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable, and all the staff was warm and friendly. Truly nothing more I could ask for when visiting a winery. read more

I made a reservation for my group of 6 for a Sunday. Originally for the terrace but it was changed to the pavilion because it was not available. They do say to wait for a confirmation email so that tells me they can't guarantee your booking. The change was perfect because the terrace was all shaded and dark and it was a beautiful sunny Sunday! When we come back we will pick the pavilion again. The terrace would be nice for a really hot day. Our host, Luella, was wonderful! She's very knowledgeable in her wines and was just so nice, fun and friendly. Sure there was some upselling but we never felt obligated. It's $30 for 6 tastings but currently, if you check in on Yelp, you get 2 upgraded tastings! So 2 more not from the list. Also depending on the purchase amount of any bottles from them, they will take off a tasting price. We ended up buying 3 bottles to enjoy on the lawn afterwards. If you want to picnic, you can only do so on the lawn and not during the tasting. They also have a lil shop selling jams, and other picnic items but it's limited. The grounds is beautiful and it wasn't crowded at all. Our friends who've been here before says it's less crowded than Napa and prefer coming here instead. They also have a big parking lot. read more

Was turned down today on a SLOW .. 230p OUTDOOR Picnic tasting with my wife and 2 boys. HYPOCRISY!! We love the idea of family, but not the reality of families." Should be the real Concannon marketing message. Considering this has never happened to us in traveling thru real vineyards in the best parts of Italy is LUDICROUS!! Especially when Concannon markets themselves as a "Family Run", "Estate for Everyone to enjoy"?? Their own marketing often emphasizes: * "Family legacy since 1883." * "Picnic grounds and heritage estate for everyone to enjoy." * Large open lawns and a tasting patio where people often bring food, friends, and yes -- kids and dogs. In fact, if you look at Concannon's website and social posts, they: * Encourage visitors to "enjoy a relaxing day on the estate grounds." * Have hosted family-style events (Easter egg hunts, outdoor concerts, seasonal photo sessions). * Explicitly welcome dogs on leashes in outdoor spaces. So, turning away families with kids -- especially without signage or clear policy -- directly conflicts with how they publicly portray themselves. read more

Lovely casual environment in peaceful setting. Do a tasting here and relax on the lawn with friends. It's kid and dog friendly, but dogs must be on leash if they chase chickens. You'll feel like you're in your own backyard vineyard. Easy enough to do once a month! read more

We so enjoyed our last Twilight Tunes. I will miss these weekly music events so much- until next summer. Twilight Tunes was always the high point of my week. I love that we can bring picnics again! Thank you Concannon for allowing this. Our family has food allergies, so it's really difficult to find things we can eat in the cold case. I'm thrilled we can bring our vegan cheese now, and the other foods safe for our family! Concannon definitely has the most beautiful property in our valley. I have loved every visit. And part of what makes the visits so wonderful are the friendly and knowledgeable hosts. read more

The wine was great, the tasting was amazing, and Ilyce was incredible. We definitely want to keep coming back for tastings because we love the wine. The only downside was that they had recently changed their POS and reservations system, so they didn't have ours on hand. This didn't ruin the experience, but I had hoped our table would have a note since we were celebrating our anniversary. Still, I can't fault them too much for that. read more

We had such a great experience at Concannon Vineyard, and a huge part of that was thanks to Nick! He was our wine pourer and truly made the visit special. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable by sharing so much fascinating history about the vineyard, but he was also super attentive and made us feel so welcome!!!! His passion and energy were contagious, and he made the whole tasting experience feel personalized and fun. Thank you, Nick, for such a memorable day! read more

When your cousin in law tells you to visit Livermore, you visit Livermore. This was my first time visiting a Livermore winery and I came here with family for a wine tasting. We didn't explore the grounds too much as it was a pretty windy day. The service and the wines we tried were pretty solid. They also had pretty decor in the ceiling of wine bottles. It was a nice prelude to our fun weekend. read more

I don't have a membership but my friend does so she i voted me to join her one day. It was great!

I can't wait to come back and hopefully I'll be a member in the near future. read more

Six of us, no reservation just walk in on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated outdoor, it's a bit chilly because of the windy weather. We got the reserve flight $30/person. My favorite is the 2022 reserve rose of petite sirah, it is pretty to look at, lovely light pink and the taste is just right for me, not too strong not too sweet. 4 stars because of the limited variety of snacks to pair with the wines and overpriced. It will be great if there's complimentary crackers. read more

Came here back in October. This place was busy on a Saturday afternoon! Wasn't sure if we would make it here, so we didn't make reservations, but, thankfully, they were able to seat our group of five with the dog. Lots of seating arrangements available depending on what you're going for. They have an outdoor terrace area for reserved wine tasting, wine tasting at the bar, and lawn seating with bottle service. We did the reserve tasting ($25 for 6 tastings), which had a nice mix of whites, rosé, sparkling, and reds. We ended up getting a bottle of their 2018 Reserve Chardonnay and 2017 Reserve Malbec. I can see why Concannon Vineyard is a popular winery to visit in the Livermore Valley with its variety of wines and lovely outdoor area. Even though we didn't, I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time if you plan on stopping by, especially on a weekend! read more
