    Us with Jennifer!
    Frances V.

    Came here on a Friday night cuz I won the Asian wine association passport through instagram. We were warmly greeted by the owner, Jennifer. She was currently having an event but welcomed us in, walk in. My favorite part of the experience was the dessert wine pairing with dark chocolate. I have to say, I've not appreciated dark chocolate until now, not to mention 70% cacao?!! My favorite was the Sakura Petit Verdot Rosé it had the hints of sour and fruity. The other new wine that I had was Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé: it was the mix of the best of both worlds giving tart and fruity. The space is small but you feel so at ease and chill. Their motto is pause.sip.savor! Definitely a little reminder for us to enjoy the moment. Even though Sakura was is a micro winery, you can't help but taste the quality of the wines! Not only is she one of the only female wine makers in Livermore but also Asian American owned! Jennifer just makes you feel like a regular! She was open to answering all our beginner wine questions and also gave us the honor of signing her guest book! We hope to be back!

    The service was great and very cozy ambiance. I tasted 3 different wines and 2 of them were Pinot which I would recommend. There was a taco food truck and they recommend good pairings with the taco. Great job Jennifer, it was nice meeting you and hearing your story.

    3 vial sampler set, $31. They also have a 5 vial set.

    Great service, delicious wines! I come here to drink their Tempranillo. The atmosphere is very cozy with plenty of seating inside and outside; but unfortunately I don't see seating for parties larger than 4-5, so you might have to split up. Along with the wines, they have an assortment of teas, sodas, snacks, and trinkets to purchase. I'm a big fan of their assorted gift set that has several wine vials to try. You can also mix and match upon request! I believe the vials holds about a glass and a half.

    Jennifer, the winemaker and owner, is an absolute delight. She is warm, welcoming, and humble. I brought a group to the winery, and she was so easy to deal with when coordinating. Her staff is friendly and there is something for everyone on their tasting menu.

    We stopped by this quaint tasting room on our way through Livermore. I remembered stopping at their booth at one of the recent Yelp Elite events. We were greeted by wine maker, Jennifer & wine pourer, David who were very accommodating, offering our son a soda or juice and snacks like Dubai Chocolate. There's a cute sofa seating area that allowed us to relax and take time with our tasting. The wines were delicious and accurately described as "soft notes". My son said this was the best tasting room because he enjoyed all the snacks while reading his book. We even had fun taking a snapshot with the Polaroid camera and adding to their guest book. I can't wait to bring family and friends to check out this place.

    Great wines. Both the 2021 and 2022 Tempranillo!! The Petite Verdot Rose was delicious. And, for cold and crisp, try the Pinot Grigio.

    Wow. This winery is a bit off the beaten path but not too far out (maybe 1/4 mile from Concannon)…read more Service was so quick for us as we walked in for a tasting. The most beautiful venue (see pics) We sat inside, but I think it is more beautiful (and cooler) than the courtyard garden. We did a tasting of 7 wines for $40 which was a good deal. Can't wait to visit again.

    Murrieta's Well exceeded every expectation, and the incredible staff made my best friend's surprise…read morebridal shower absolutely unforgettable. From the very beginning, Diane went above and beyond to help me plan this special day. She answered my many questions, worked through every accommodation with me, and made the entire booking process seamless. Her kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made me feel like she was just as invested in the celebration as I was. By the end of the planning process, I had unofficially promoted her to honorary bridesmaid status. When we arrived, Valeria and Kayla were fantastic. They immediately jumped into "surprise mode," graciously playing along by checking us in at the host stand and escorting us to our table without giving anything away. Their teamwork helped keep the bride-to-be completely unsuspecting until she walked into a room full of family and friends. Valeria also accommodated my request to play a millennial throwback playlist, and every hit had us singing along--it was the perfect soundtrack for the afternoon. Our server, Skylar, was equally wonderful. She made excellent wine recommendations, was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, and truly made us feel at home. Even after our reserved time had ended, she warmly invited us to stay and continue enjoying ourselves. What was supposed to be a two-hour brunch turned into nearly four hours of laughter, wine, and celebrating, and we never once felt like we were inconveniencing anyone. The beautiful winery, delicious brunch, excellent wine, and stunning atmosphere were everything I had hoped for. But what truly made this experience exceptional was the people. Diane, Valeria, Kayla, Skylar, and the entire Murrieta's Well team created an experience that felt warm, personal, and genuinely special. Planning a surprise from start to finish can be stressful, but thanks to this incredible team, all I had to do was enjoy watching my best friend's reaction. Thank you for helping create memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. We can't wait to come back!

    Stopped by Wood Family Vineyards for a tasting. I have to admit, most of the wines were just okay…read morefor my palate, but their award-winning GSM was definitely the standout. What impressed me most was the service. Our wine host, Austin, was friendly, funny, and quite entertaining. Another wine host noticed me taking pictures and invited me to check out their barrel room, which was such a nice touch. The atmosphere has a fun, laid-back feel that seems perfect for hanging out with friends. They also have a pretty fun lineup of events, from line dancing to bingo and trivia nights. We may have to come back for one of those!

I chose to buy a bottle of their Malbec which hit my flavor profile perfectly. They made sure the water station Was always full which was greatly appreciated. Staff kept checking on all the tables to make sure we were enjoying and had what we needed. There was a food truck and cookie cart available to everyone and they allowed you to bring food in. This event was a great way to pre game for the 4th. WTR schedules events for their customers and members that invite community and what better way than to share with a glass of outstanding wine. There is a varietal for every palette. Well Done. I definitely will be back.

Even though they have an indoor space, it seemed they really wanted all the tastings to be done outdoors at tables with a wine ambassador/server. The outdoor patio is very pretty, skillfully landscaped in that winery fashion, lots of tables and a wooden structure with fans for some cover and circulation. But that cover is just a screen so it isn't complete shade, slivers of sunlight still beam through. Which can be a nuisance if that beam is in one person's face at the table. For this valley (Livermore) if a winery is going to conduct wine tastings outdoors, I think a full cover should be standard. It isn't yet but in time I think it will. A tasting is $25 with about 5 samples. They'll throw in a bonus 1-2 pours if you want to revisit a taste. They'll waive this fee if you purchase 2 bottles or more. They even have a small menu that you can order food that isn't just snacks like nuts and crackers. You can actually have a significant meal here, albeit a very small menu. We were going to have lunch elsewhere, so we didn't get too involved with the food. But we did order a warm baguette with 3 dips for $15 (4.5*) as tasting wines without food sometimes gets puckering and acidic. $15 seemed a bit much for some bread, but it was a well-made and well thought out. First the mini whole baguette was served very warm and fresh. To me personally a crusty bread that is warm is as soothing as slipping into your favorite old but comfy sweater. Who ever is supplying them with this bread is a legit bakery. I wouldn't even doubt if it was an Acme or a Semifreddi product. The 3 spreads given are actually way too much for the bread given. But they are all very conducive to the warm bread and sips of wine. 1 is a super soft butter. Not sure if anything else went in but it seems softer than straight butter. There's also a balsamic dip that is well emulsified with a nice garlic touch. Very tasty. And then there's a nice well made pesto that is loose from olive oil and a tinge of lemon in the background. And I found you can mix and match these spreads anyway you want to get a layered flavor effect. This totally elevated our wine tasting. The wines here I felt were above average. Several not so popular varietals like a Cabernet Franc or a Grenache Rosé made for an interesting ride. I found their sparkling wine to be very refreshing and one of their red blends to be solid enough to take home and pair it with a nice meal someday. I think their blending/winemaking skills suit my palate. Our server/pourer was very nice and efficient. I saw the employees taking turns on tables as they came. But I also saw a table already request a certain server so there are regulars that have made relations here. I'm all for that. One of my new faves to wine taste out here in Livermore. Looking forward in another round.

The highlight of each visit is probably introducing my friends to ports with chocolate and how it changes the flavor! It's a pleasure to visit, and I can't wait to come back.
