    Out for wine tasting in Livermore on this beautiful sunny day! Murrieta's well is a winery that is always a fun and relaxing time. The wine tasting is refreshing and the service is informative and inviting. Dogs are allowed here in outside seating. We've attended and food and wine pairing event and it was delicious. We have not ordered food from the menu yet but the food that was passing by smelt good, We will definitely come back again.

    Beautiful property with a modifiable wine tasting! We had a flight of fresh white wines, a chilled red, and rosé for $40. Great hostesses who even made sure our dog had something to drink. They said you can hike their grounds on Fridays and host live music once in a while!

    It was a nice afternoon at Murrieta's Wells. The grounds are well maintained and picturesque. We made outdoor reservations easily online. We were greeted with a welcome wine and were seated immediately. We did request to swap tables to be out of the sun but they denied the request as they said the table was reserved (no one sat at that table the entire time we were there). We ordered the margherita flatbread, sliders, and Brussel sprouts. I would recommend all of those plates.

    We were invited to join for some wine tasting. It was the first time trying wine in Livermore. We typically go to Napa and Lodi. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the check-in staff, and we were given a glass of white wine, which was refreshing. I was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful grounds. They have plenty of patio seating with umbrellas, grass area for kids to run around in, an inside space in their barn, looking building. I say that loosely because they had Chandelier's hanging from the inside. They have tasting areas inside of the barn as well as a space in their upstairs area which looked more private. They also have an upstairs terrace patio with plenty of seating and bathrooms nearby. The wines were refreshing and light. I typically go for Red, but the white was very crisp and refreshing for a hot day. They offer food to order. The food was really good. We had the sliders, the charcuterie with the tots, and the pretzel bites. The sliders were juicy and so flavorful. Must try them. I feel like the service lacked a bit because there were times when we had to go up and look for our server to order another bottle or ask for a menu. I wasn't as bothered with it because I'm sure she was really busy, but I noticed other people looked frustrated.

    I've been here a handful of times and majority of those I've had a great experience. Food is delicious, must get the tots! The venue is beautiful and dog friendly. They even brought out heat lamps when it got chilly. And the wine is also great. Service wise, we've had mostly hits and just one miss in between, but most recently, we had the best time with Rob. He treated my guests with the absolute care and shared all his knowledge with us without seeming rushed (even though I know he's busy). I now remember why I loved Murrieta's. Will be stopping by again soon!

    Very beautiful winery. The truffle tots are nice to munch on and I saw other peoples food looked good. Wine was good -- came for a tasting on a friend's membership. Our waitress Vanessa was efficient and knowledgeable. Sometimes tastings can drag on too long, but this was a good time. Outdoor seating is gorgeous. Indoor is nice too. They also have an upstairs tasting room. I am not a big wine drinker myself but will totally come back on a friend's membership, or would consider my own if I liked wine that much. Try the cab sauv!

    After the Camp Yelp event and getting introduced to Livermore wineries, I stumbled upon his place. This is a smaller winery than Concannon and Wente with a cute little outside patio and a nice sized barn for hot days. Our wine server was great and informative, she did not make us wait for our next pour, she was attentive and sweet. This winery is actually owned by Wente but they have their own grapes that they use here. The reds are not as robust and dry, they are lighter and easier to drink. This is usually my preference so I fell in love with many of their reds. We got ourself a cheese plate to pair with the wines and it was perfect. Overall it was great. I love that they have a list activities/experiences throughout the year. Also if you are a member here, you can get free wine tasting in Wente (in certain months, ours was in September) and you have access to Wente events as well.

    Livermore Winery $40 PP with 4 -6 wine tastings Cheese & Charcuterie $25 Brussels sprouts $10 Booked early for lunchtime tasting- 7people on a Friday. Gorgeous 80'F day so we chose outdoor shaded seating. Beware wasp season. Electric Fan fly's to help deter them. Indoor seating beautifully decorated for Halloween & nice cool AC on. We had a young Sommelier help us out, knowledgeable and friendly. We were not rushed through our visit or pushed to purchase wine although 6 bottles were purchased. We enjoyed our time and will be back to visit another time.

    Murrieta's Well Winery is undeniably a beautiful venue. The scenic views, charming architecture, and peaceful setting make it a wonderful spot for a relaxed afternoon or special event. The ambiance is one of the highlights - elegant yet laid-back, with a rustic sophistication that really sets the mood. That said, the experience was somewhat let down by the service and the wine itself. The staff, while polite, was very inattentive, resulting in slow service and a lack of attentiveness throughout the visit. It took quite a while to get our tastings, and follow-up was sparse. As for the wines, they were decent but nothing particularly memorable. A few had potential, but overall the selection felt underwhelming given the reputation and setting of the winery. The tasting was $40 with only 4 wines. The first pour was a Rose which was terrible. It had such a harsh bitterness that made it unbearable. We just poured it out. The 2nd pour was called a zarzuela. It was dry with high tannins and very earthy and grainy feeling. It wasn't a pleasant wine either. I ended up pouring mine out too. Merlot was the 3rd pour which was better but it was a very heavy bodied merlot and more like a cabernet than a merlot. Last pour was a cabernet sauvignon which was probably the only decent wine of the tasting. It had good body and balance. Smooth texture and medium sweetness. Overall was a decent wine. If you're looking for a picturesque spot to unwind or host an event, Murrieta's Well delivers on atmosphere. But if you're there primarily for a top-tier wine tasting experience and excellent service, you might find it falls a bit short.

    I had reservations for two on July 4, 2025, the winery was busy. The tasting menu offered 4 red wines for $40, as well as a splash of their white wine upon checking in to be seated. My friend and I were surprised by only 4 red wines being offered, especially since we prefer white and sparkling wine. Our server was kind, hospitable, and understanding in changing our minds. The property is lovely and their staff considerate and friendly. I wasn't feeling it and only having reds was a turn off, our server did offer some white wines she could serve us. Why weren't they on the tasting menu, oh well maybe next time?

    What a beautiful winery and fun tasting experience! Noah took care of us and he was friendly, attentive and so patient with our group. We had a wonderful evening enjoying the food and wine tastings. I took home two bottles of the Zarzuela, a beautiful light red wine that smells like blueberries. I'd love to come back!

    They used to allow dogs on their patio, but now no dogs are allowed except service animals. Disappointing

    No, but they have a good bites menu. Pulled Pork flatbread is great.

The only issue we ran into was with seating. The instructions clearly stated to bring low chairs, which makes sense so everyone can see. Unfortunately, the person who set up directly in front of us had a high chair, which completely blocked our view for a good portion of the show. What made it more frustrating is that this person turned out to be one of the staff members who had checked our tickets earlier. It was a bit disappointing to see someone enforcing the rules not following them, especially when it impacts guests' experience. If they had used a low chair like everyone else, it wouldn't have been an issue at all. Hopefully management can address this with their staff moving forward. Aside from that, it's a great venue, and I'd definitely go back--especially for the right band.

I like how if you want a glass of wine, you are so enticed to buy a bottle.  For example, if you want a glass of chardonnay, it will cost you $12.  Two, $24.  A bottle is $22.  And, if you can't drink it all, cork it and throw it safely into your trunk until you get home. #LoveWenteVineyards

As we walked around and enjoyed the different bands, I was experiencing a total blast from the past while running into lovely friends I had known since grade school. Bands were located inside and outside. We grabbed a seat at the fire pit and made friends with a cute couple from Livermore, To end the event, we decided to grab some pizza from the food trucks. This pizza was not just any pizza. It was pepperoni goodness with perfectly backed thin crust. As we left the festival we sadly made our goodbyes to our new friends and decided that it might be a great idea to come back next year.

So we started walking thru what looked like a kitchen/clean up area and workers immediately told us we had entered a room we shouldn't have. Kind of weird and kind of frustrating that the hostess or whoever greeted us didn't tell us anything after handing us menus. I will say the gentleman who did help us was 5 stars. I ordered a glass of sparkling rose and while he gave me the last pour of an old bottle (completely flat), he acknowledged it was the last pour of the old bottle and opened a new bottle in front of us- that sparkling rose was crisp and fresh and light. Also- another thing to note- this winery doesn't allow outside food. Their menu is a lot more extensive (and expensive) than other wineries. Not a huge deal for us as this was our second stop and the other two allowed food so we brought and ate our picnic there!
