    This is my third harvest wine tour with Aaron and it's always a pleasure and informative. We start out with a rosè or Sparkling Rosè. Aaron the winemaker of eleven years was our tour guide and is a wealth of information. We made our way through the vineyards and stopped at the particular red wine vines and did a tasting and ended with cheese and crackers and tasting their 2019 and 2021 Infrared varietal of Grenache Mouvedre and Syrah. This is a fun and informative wine event and a great way to start the fall season and harvest. Tickets are $20.

    We made a reservation for a large group for the Sunday during the Memorial Day weekend. This winery has a great vibe, they can accommodate big groups, the tables are shaded by trees so it was not too hot. There was a band playing. We didn't do the tasting because there were several people who don't drink in the group. Instead, the alternative they offered was that we could order 1 bottle of wine for every 2 people to drink at the table (or take home if we couldn't drink so much). This worked out well for us. They normally allow outside food but it wasn't allowed that day because there was a Mediterranean food truck coming in. The food truck did not have great food, so I wish we could have got some snacks of our own. The only complaint I have about the winery was that the service was very slow. The staff only needs to bring out bottles (no food) for the table/tasting but they forgot our order once. Even when we reminded them and for the other orders, they took ages to bring out the bottles which doesn't make sense because they literally just need to bring them out to the table. There were 3 servers working and not all the tables were occupied so I'm not sure what the problem was.

    It was great to return to Fenestra to kickoff their summer concert series on Friday. Every other Friday until October, they will host an evening concert. For $7/person ticket reservations, you can enjoy a wonderful evening on their spacious lawn amidst the vineyard and under some incredibly mature trees drinking their wine and listening to live music. This is the epitome of what Livermore does best. You won't want to miss it. NOTE: Table and chairs provided. No outside food permitted. A food truck services all the guests wanting dinner or nibbles.

    Great winery. Lovely location. Wonderful staff. Nice views. Perfect for photos. Great wines. My hubs and I decided to take a trip to Livermore from Sacramento to go wine tasting and this was stop number 1. I wanted to make sure we could taste so I make a reservation for their first available. We got there right when they opened. We were greeted immediately by the sweetest staff. We chose to sit outside as it was a lovely day with a nice breeze. The views of this area are so pretty and make the perfect photo background. Gayle was pouring for us and she was just wonderful. So personable, funny and easy to talk to. She had no problem taking some photos of us and made our experience the perfect way to start our day. I left with two bottles and the intent on returning in the very near future.

    id like to thank fenestra winery for such a fun experience as it was my first time going wine tasting. the environment and atmosphere was really well kept. overall the facility felt really dreamy and magical! their staff were so thoughtful, friendly, knowledgeable. definitely would be a spot id come back again with friends and family :) tip: - kids and pet friendly - unisex bathrooms available - decent sized parking lot - cute outdoor seating (accommodating to both smaller and larger parties) - please make sure to call ahead of time to book! - charcuterie is available for purchase (which is one of my favorite parts)

    So Fenestra is now doing wine pairings & food tastings with the help of Oyó & Chef Maurice, - they've hit it out of the ballpark! The food was small tastings ranging from a fresh salad done in coconut lime dressing, pulled chicken empanadas, Dungeness crab & scallop cake, braised pork shoulder, lobster fried rice & a guava pudding of sorts - mind you there were sauces & toppings for each serving that brought the dishes together. Let's not forget all the great tasting wines: from when you arrive a Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Albariño, reserve Cabernet Sauvignon & Dolce Francesca, probably missed 1 or 2 - in short this was great fun! Fenestra staff was on it from pouring the wines, changing out glasses & bringing out the food. The event was held in their wine cellar/ bottling area, so causal & easygoing as to ambiance. My only suggestion would be to run the table together; i.e., instead of separating folks out make use longer tables, sit groups together while adding in singles or couples in, brings folks together, allowing for more conversations; just a suggestion.

    Went to my first winery at Livermore loved the experience with my friend that's a member. Def grabbed a bottle of their grenache rose 2022 and red wine was unforgettable 2018 conjugation. possible future member on the cards.

    Absolutely amazing winery! Feels small and intimate and the wine is probably my favorite of any winery I've tried. We had a lovely server come to us with our tastings and she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines, telling us about the buildings, grapes and even the hidden stories behind the labels which were nerdy and awesome! This is my third time at Fenestra and my date and I definitely want to come back!

    outdoor tables/tastings during COVID.

    Attended a tasting the first weekend of their Covid reopening. Late review. Made a Reservation & paid for the food pairing since they're required to sell food with the tasting. $50 for my husband and myself. We had our 2 kids with us and brought them their own snacks/drinks. They were organized at check in and tables were nicely spaced out. They were a little slow bringing out the wine and the food. I felt the food was mediocre and 3 very small tapas tasting and the pours were very small. The staff wasn't as friendly as other wineries...they weren't necessarily rude but they were also not as welcoming. My hubby gave me his rose pour so that I could get a good amount to decide if I liked it or not. It was tasty and I ended up having him buy a bottle of Rose on the way out. I do recommend the Rose. We were excited to do this wine tasting since we had never been to Fenestra (we are members of a couple other wineries in Livermore but wanted to give them a chance) but it didn't feel like a good fit. We didn't feel like we got our moneys worth or that relaxing/fun wine tasting experience or that down to earth conversation between staff and guests.

So that to me means it's top of the line membership as indicated by their pricing and what we get. So I feel I should get top notch deals, pricing and service. Turns out, we get the same shaft as the lower club members. Starting with the good, the location is pristine. Nice area with lots of room for kids and adults to mingle and play. The wine is also pretty darn good. Of course there are some better than others but I enjoy most of their wine. The service is also for the most part very good. The waitstaff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Their food is also pretty darn good. It's not incredible, and a bit overpriced but it's fine enough. Their wine pricing is also fair (but of course with the highest membership we get the biggest discount). My biggest complaints would be the price gouging and lack of communication. We made arrangements on a Friday to show Sunday with 6 and asked for the "VIP space upgrade to lounge or upstairs Vista Patio Lounge (when available)". They said no problem. When we showed on Sunday they said it was closed with no notice. Just a sorry. OK whatever. We sit inside (6 people and 2 children) and they charge for 2 children a "non drinker" charge of $10 ($5 each). A head count charge for non-drinkers? For children? Total nonsense! I am spending over $1,200 a year here and you want to gouge me for someone's kids? Their tastings are $40 a pop which is really crazy. Our price is waived on this so that's fine but if you are not a member you are paying a lot for a little. The wines do take a bit of time to come and they don't give you a lot. Kind of a bummer waiting for the taste. We ended up with 4 appetizers (sliders $24, Charcuterie $25, Tater Tots $12 and Pretzel Bites with Grilled Sausage $16) 2 bottles of wine and $4.25 for water and the bill was over $250. Oh and top that off, with 6 people, they charge a mandatory 20% on the bill for a tip and are basing that with taxes (as the button default), not the actual sub-total so they are actually getting about 23%. All in all, I am not sure that the cost is worth what you get. I mean we are giving them a lot of money just to be members and then having to pay more and more for anything else that really should be included (like water and kids) makes this place just a bit too over-rated for me. Probably end my club membership in the fall and go someplace that doesn't place money first.

What's nice is that we can bring food in, so we had food doordashed in. They also have games like corn hole and jenga available. It was a wonderful afternoon of eating, drinking, and walks around their vineyards. My coworker said she has attended a wedding and a birthday party here. This is a great venue for a special event. It's not as large as Concannon or Wente. It's rustic and charming. I'm not a wine drinker, so I can't comment on the quality of their wines.
