No signage, no note on the door--nothing to indicate a change in hours. The night before, we had their sparkling wine during our Valentine's Day dinner tour and really enjoyed it. It was good enough that we made a point to swing back through on our way out of town to purchase a full case. That plan clearly didn't work out. If you're going to rely on visitors passing through, your posted hours need to be accurate. We were ready to buy. That opportunity was missed.

We got to try all the sweet sparkling wines and a few of the white or reds. The peach smelled really good. Syrah sparkling is not sweet. The red/white wines were a bit bland and the sparkling wines too sweet for us. Not really to our taste, but easy to drink. We also got to try the panty dropper (almond sparkling and chocolate). I love sparkling wines but I like brut or dry. The Tesla Vintners and another winery used to be sister wineries to this winery. But they all closed down. She also told us that the owners are selling the house/property so they don't know if the new owners will keep the winery open. They have outdoor seatings and restroom is outside.

Not sure they allow outside food but it doesn't seem like they sell food. They also couldn't open any other wines off the tasting menu for us to try.

While I didn't take any bottles home this time around, I did enjoy my tasting and look forward to another future visit.

The tasting room staff were extremely knowledgeable about the wine and the winery and the wine makers. I highly recommend trying Steven Kent Winery.

The room was cozy and intimate, Chris poured each wine, giving us a unique opportunity to taste the love, patience, and incredible attention to detail that went into each bottle. I had previously given up on red wines because they often cause me pain the next day, but I was pleasantly surprised by a 2013 Syrah and a Pinot Noir, a grape I usually avoid. The Chardonnay was unoaked, but still very respectable and I could taste the pure chard grape flavor as if the grape was looking at me from the bottle saying "THIS is what I'm SUPPOSED to taste like honey, not the malolactic oak! If I were still an avid wine enthusiast, I would have joined their wine club. It's great that he had wine priced by the glass on his menu for those interested in focusing on one type of wine or simply wanting to relax with a glass without feeling pressured to taste a planned flight at only 1-ounce intervals. Best believe if I find myself in Livermore during operating hours, I shall return to fill up on Chardonnay and buy more Syrah to stock my cellar (aka closet under the stairs) ;)
