There's nothing like wine tasting with beautiful people, in a beautiful venue. Yesterday was my very first time wine-tasting ever, and I really must say, I'm glad to have popped my grape here at Nottingham. Matt, as everyone is saying, is really something else. He is very nice, kind and down to earth. For those of you looking for someone to put a smile on your mildly drunken face, well Mat and Nottingham is a great bet! read more

I've been to Nottingham Cellars a few times and have always been extremely pleased with the hospitality and service. The owners both made a point of shaking our hands the first time a friend and I dropped in (back when the tasting room first opened). The winery is located right off the main wine trail, so if you're coming from out of town, take the Vasco exit and stop by on your way in or out of Livermore. read more

I went wine tasting in Livermore with a group of 6 last Sunday. We had an awesome afternoon. We stopped by 3 wineries and Nottingham Cellars was easily our favorite. Not only was the wine the best we tasted all day but the customer service and attention to detail was outstanding. Nottingham was our last stop and we were disappointed that we bought any wine at the first two wineries. We tried some really great wines and ended up buying a couple bottles of The Supremacy and The Ralphie's Blend. If you are planning a wine tasting trip in the Livermore Valley any time in the future, make sure to stop by Nottingham Cellars. You will not regret it. read more

We found this winery to be pretentious and cold. We came on a slow weekend in June. You have to sign in and pay up front before you are allowed to walk in...we accidentally walked up to the tasting area and received a surprised "how did you get back here?" and were then escorted (literally) to the front so we could give them our information and prepay. I found the wines to be only so-so. We were there shortly after they had unveiled the new second label - so maybe this contributed? read more

$15 tasting fee is like Napa prices but in Livermore. The Vasco Urbano is solid as was the GSM. They had live music on the outside patio in Saturday which was nice but definitely a bit over priced in my opinion. Average bottle was like $40. read more

Came to the tasting room for one of Livermore's Wine Wednesday events. They are located in a tasting room, there are a few other tasting rooms next door as well. There isn't a ton of parking outside, but there are a few side streets that you can probably park on. The inside is very cute and well laid out. Not sure if it is always like this, but at this event they did not do tastings, you purchase a glass or bottle. We bought two bottles while we there to show with our group, the GSM and the Mixed Blacks. Both were so good! I ended up buying two more bottles to take home with me. The ladies who were working were very nice and gave us lots of details about the winery and the wines. I will definitely be back to try their other wines! read more

This place is AMAZING. Amazing wine. Guys playing catch with a baseball. Beautiful scenery. Nice staff. THE FOOD was off the hook good. Get the Beef Brisket sandwich!! They have construction currently going on, but the food and service makes you forget it. It's kind of like real life anyways, beauty with work to do :) Will definitely be back!! read more

I love coming here! The wine is delicious,the ladies that work here are so knowledgeable and friendly, and the atmosphere is great. There are a variety of whites and reds. They have different wine clubs to choose from, which was perfect because we don't go through wine very fast. If you want to stalk up on wine, they have options for you too! My husband and I just became wine club members and we went to our first wine club event this weekend. The food at the party was so yummy and paired well with the wine. They also had a band playing which was fun. I would recommend this winery to anyone that enjoys good wine and good company! read more

Pros: big selection of white wine tasty wine next door to Occassio winery nice pourers Cons: very industrial location no nice scenery Busy out of the way from the other wineries. I see alllll the 5 star reviews and I am not one to be influenced by what other people write about a place... as tempting as it is. The truth is that this place is OKAY. There are no wines that compel me to go back but no wines that repulse me. I do appreciate that they have a nice winery next door. read more

Nothing but the best at this place. I have been coming here for a few years now. The wine is always excellent. I strongly recommend any of their Bordeaux varietals. My personal favorite is the Cab Franc. The service is also very good. Even when they are busy, they do a great job at checking in with groups and making sure you are being helped. Also, there was a very cool dog there that I got to pet. I don't think it lived there, just belonged to another customer. But still, I got to pet the dog and that was wonderful. And don't forget, the wine was great! read more

We are residents of Livermore and kept going back to Nottingham as non-members. The wine is Amazing and the live music in the summer was fantastic. After 3 years, finally became members and haven't looked back. 1- The wine is top par. It's so good. It speaks for itself. No more comment needed. 2- The service- so good. Shala is the perfect wine officiando. She does the tasting room right. Just the right amount of information and clearly loves what she does. She has recognized us every-time we come in, and it doesn't go un-noticed. However, the rest of the staff is top shelf too. Each staff member has taken their time to say hello, introduce themself and make us feel welcome. 3- The actual tasting room is welcoming and feels like home. While the tasting room is not "on the vines", it's ambiance does it justice. The barrel room is beautiful and the live music in spring / summer makes up for it. This is a must visit while in Livermore. read more

A winery in a commercial strip mall...freaking genius! Yeah Livermore does has it's share of "destination" wineries, nowhere near the grand Chateau's & multi-million $$ facilities in Napa or Sonoma but for our backyard wine region they have a certain charm & homey quality that make Livermore unique. So if you don't have a few spare million or hundred grand laying around to build yourself a massive winery, tasting/guest center & sprawling grounds the next best route to showcase your wine would be to find an inexpensive, easy to get to location, spruce up the interior a bit and spend your money on perfecting your trade & let the product speak for itself. The product, which is sourced from various vineyards in & around the Livermore Valley has responded very well to their commercial/industrial business park surroundings. Their 2009 Viognier is one of the more steely/minerally subtle floral fruit Viogners in the valley. Food friendly but PERFECT on it's own as well. Same with their 09' un-oaked Chard, nice balance, good acidity, very business like and true to form. We really liked their Syrah & Ralphies Red & their Malbec was just quite the hit of the day! A big thanks to the tasting staff who were awesome hosts! Although I still stick by my slightly off-color claim of Rombauer's panty dropping power. Cheers! read more

The white wines are much easier to drink than the red wines. There was only one red wine that went down my throat smoothly while most of the whites went down easily. Port wine is nice. I bought a bottle. The service is super friendly. The place is a nice to chill and drink up. read more

The wine here is Fantastic, friendly staff, great atmosphere too! I would highly recommend this winery to all my friends and family! The Supremacy is one of my all time favorites. read more

We took some friends to Nottingham Cellars for tasting on Saturday morning. We just had the best time!! Great wine, great snack box and fantastic service. I highly recommend it!!! read more

I was here for the 2016 Livermore barrel tasting weekend and I was disappointed with the customer service. There was a comment about a particular section being for paid customers only assuming that I was not a paid customer, and that really rubbed me and my group the wrong way. We paid for our experience! The host also didn't look at or talk to us during the rest of our stay. Maybe we would have had a better experience if it wasn't during a special Livermore-wide event. read more

Some great wines here. We headed in very late, but they were still open and happy to pour for us. $5 tasting fee to really try pretty much what you want. All the wines were great. The viognier was nice, and both chardonnays were different and yet both were very good. Some of the better wines in the Livermore Valley. Also, glad to see a young winemaker going for his passion and doing well! read more

Emma was awesome and very knowledgeable! She made our tasting experience fun and memorable. The wines were great and we left with two bottles to take home with us. The tasting room is cozy and beautiful, all around a great time! Thanks again Emma for all your help. read more

Great service with friendly staff and awesome wine! A few of us in my group bought the bottle of refreshing champagne! I would recommend going there on a wine tour. read more

Great staff, Amazing wine, Beautiful tasting room with a newly re-done barrel room for members....what more can you ask for? Highly recommend! read more

It was an ok winery. Did not care for the wine that tastes like bacon at all. It is not one I would revisit but the experience was alright overall. read more

Kristina did a wonderful job telling us about each wine on the tasting menu and was very friendly. We will definitely be back

Their wine selection for the non-premium tasting isn't amazing, but the premium one is amazing. I appreciate wineries who make it a bit more accessible for those who can't spend as much. And you have to pay a bit more not to get something overly tart or sweet. I've had past years of the same wines and they were better so maybe it was just a not so hot batch when I came in to taste. After all, California is basically a desert right now. But the people working there are all so sweet and so kind and so amazing. And if you dont admire their chalkboard designs you're a fool. If you like sweet wines that don't hurt your pocket, Nottingham is your place. read more

Taste high quality wines at a good price. Not located in a garden setting, but this is more than made up for with the good service and fine quality. read more

I've never been to a winery where I've liked very single wine, until I visited Nottingham! Absolutely fantastic! Super friendly staff as well! read more

Come by and visit. Mention Matthew sent you! This is great wine. Especially the Ralphies and the GSM. That GSM is amazing!

This is a great place to go for a relaxing, fun afternoon of wine tasting. The atmosphere in the tasting room, the staff, and of course the wines are fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

Not sure what anyone giving this place 3 stars is talking about. The wine is delicious, the Cranor family is welcoming and really good at what they do, and prices here are reasonable considering the size of the operation. read more

okay so I really don't drink anymore....lol from when I was much younger that is well today I attended the Yelp Sip-nic and I had there Chardonnay and I have to say it was absolutely the best I have ever tasted, so smooth, no acidity, not harsh just plain smooth and oh so yummy. I wanted to buy a bottle for my Dad but no way José they said nothing for sale today come to the cellar so I will most certainly go to Livermore and purchase it was so delish....... read more

We LOVE the Nottingham wines. Such great blends and variety of wines. The people who work there are super friendly and helpful. We were lucky enough to have an event in their barrel room and it was amazing!! They did everything they could to make the event run smoothly and to make sure everyone had a good time. It's a great place & we highly recommend it! read more

Fantastic tasting room! Aaron was a great host, friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable with wine!!! We would definitely come back to visit and purchase!!!! read more

Love the wine, great tasting room, friendly staff. What more can you ask for?

Last weekend was my first time at Nottingham. It is definitely more of a showroom tasting room, which is fine so if you do enjoy the more vineyard type tasting room this is a totally different atmosphere. This is why I gave it 4 stars. That being said, you should still check it out as the wine is delicious! We checked Nottingham out Labor Day weekend the day after the Livermore Wine Harvest and I am glad we did. We are trying to cross off as many as we can off our winery list. Nottingham is a little on the pricey side for bottles but the paintings and names of the wines are cool! read more

We stopped by on Saturday afternoon and enjoyed some wine poured by Chris. The wine that most spoke to me was not the most expensive, nor the least expensive, but just right. Ralph's Red. I can honestly recommend this as a "stop" on your tour of the Livermore Valley Wine Region.I will say that if you haven't tried Livermore Wines, then you are missing a whole bunch of what is great in wine these days.This was my first visit. Thanks for a very nice experience. read more

went here with friends for their wine pick up and tasting. they were quite busy so they took us in the back tasting area and sat us at a table and served us as well. Offered us cheese and fruit as well, we felt like we got the presidential treatment. Wonderful experiance and great wine. If your going to go to Livermore for wine tasting this place is worth stopping at. thanks read more

We came in to taste the award winning Sauv Blanc, but were disappointed to learn that it sold out in 9wks! Thankfully we received award winning customer service by Shala and Katie who were awesome. We can't wait to come back on Thursdays for extended hours and live music. Nottingham did not disappoint! read more

Good wines and a great atmosphere! Can enjoy a wine by the glass. I wouldn't say that I have been disappointed with one of their wines yet. read more

A great experience. This was our first visit to Nottingham and it was truly memorable. The staff was terrific. Very friendly. We had a large group (10 of us attending a family wedding) and they made a point to make each one of us feel welcome. We felt like we've been friends forever. Dave and Collin were both entertaining and enlightening. We talked about wines, the grapes of the Livermore area, and so many other topics, including the recent loss by the Phillies (I live in the Philly area). They guided us through their wines with a sense of pride that added to the experience. We all enjoyed the Viogner, their Cabernets and the Supremacy (my favorite). We also liked the Petite Sirah, which Collin was especially proud of. He felt this wine was a great representation of the wines of the Livermore area. In addition to purchasing several bottles (of each wine mentioned above) to take back with us, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we also bought a Viogner and Cabernet and sat outside to spend time together with our family. Dave made a point to check in on us several times. We enjoyed his company. In summary: Wines were outstanding. The atmosphere was very comfortable. And the customer service was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Just visited for the first time. Wines were wonderful. Will come back again. David and Pat (I believe) were super friendly!

Excellent venue for their appreciation event with the most delectable wines!!! Nice music...amazing ambience...blissful afternoon
