The last stop on a day of wine tasting in Livermore ended with a tasting at The Singing Winemaker. The winemaker himself was MIA and I hope to catch him soon but the wines did not disappoint. The tasting included a taste of all their sparkling and 3 ports or wines and I picked the first. They make exceptional sparkling wines, especially the almond and strawberry. They were out of the strawberry that day:( The downside to the tastings was the size of the pours, barely a sip. The Brut was the shining star that day as well as the chocolate port. They have little bites and cute merchandise to sell as well. There is plenty of parking and there is space inside as well as picnic tables outside. The pourer was attentive but did not offer an extra sip like most other wineries, this in addition to the time pours was what made this a 4 star. I bought the Brut as well as the chocolate port. Highly recommend.

WINES: (5/5) Bubbles are my jam. If you like sparkling wines, this is the place for you. They also offer whites, reds, and ports. Sparkling wines are tricky for me to find at local wineries and if they have it, it's just 1 kind, and most of the time it's not part of the tasting b/c they only have so many bottles and won't give a tasting when you ask unless you're a club member. (yes that's happened to me). But here, OMG, they offer 4 kinds of sparkling: brut, raspberry, peach, and almond. The tasting included 4 wines of your choice. For sparklings, you could try a splash of each sparkling to equal 1 tasting. GENIUS! I did that :) and still had an additional 3 tastings. They also offer a few in-house special blends which I absolutely loved and could count as a tasting. I tried the Panty Dropper = almond sparkling + chocolate port. The wines were wonderful and we took a bottle home. AMBIANCE: (2/5) It's an intimate winery with a few outdoor tables that looked nice. It was scorching hot this day and no one was outside. I imagine when the weather is nice it's a good place to sit. Inside the tasting room, it was cool but it felt really stuffy, like it hadn't been aired out in a while, and smelled really off like wet dogs had been in there for a while and left a musty scent behind. I can't say for sure what it was, but the smell was not pleasant in an enclosed space when you're wine tasting. My preferred method of wine tasting is to be seated, brought all of my tastings at once, and then take my time with each one. Or, be seated and brought my first pouring, have the pourer tell me about the wine I'm tasting, leave us alone for a bit so we can enjoy and savor, and then the pourer returns w/the next one. This is my preferred style b/c it's relaxing. Here it was neither of those and we stood at the bar counter. We were the only customers inside and were poured a wine and the pourer was there with us kinda just waiting. It was like it was a private tasting but not really. There was some conversation sprinkled in here and there but I felt like they were just waiting for us to be done to pour us the next one. They did not rush us at all, but it felt a bit tense for me w/them standing there just waiting for us. I'm an incredibly slow drinker for anything, like I will take my time and enjoy. For example, I will still be drinking my morning iced coffee well into the afternoon. So here I felt like I had to hurry and was the fastest wine tasting I've ever done. They gave us a recommendation for a sparkling winery in Lodi so that was appreciated! We will be checking that out b/c I love bubbles. I would like to see them offer one of those methods as it would create a relaxing and chill ambiance.

The Singing Winemaker has a new bubbly varietal, a Syrah California carbonated bubbly. This new wine is not too sweet, and has hints of fruit. Come check out this new item in their tasting menu, as always the customer service is superb.

My friend lives in livermore and recommended that we come here for our first choice in wine tasting. I had mixed feelings when I first saw the place because it's just not as up to date but don't judge a book by its cover! My friends and I opted for the $15 tasting which was a great deal. We chose to do the sparkling wine tasting which included a California brut, peach, raspberry and almond. My favorite was the Peach! We also ordered a karen's chocolate kiss for $2 which is a shot of wine in a chocolate cup. The chocolate was delicious but the dessert wine we tried was a bit strong for me but the chocolate did add a nice touch. The service here is very friendly. Apparently there is also a miniature pony named Chester that lives next door but sadly we didn't get to see him when we were there, maybe next time!

I enjoyed stopping in here, and they have really tasty sparkling wines. Peach, almond, raspberry, flavors I wouldn't typically buy, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to try every last sip.I came in on the Livermore wine trolley, and The Singing Wine Maker was the most generous with their pours. I fell in love with their chocolate port, and bought a bottle immediately after tasting it. They have to plenty of fun gifts (some wine related, others not) available for purchase. The service was friendly. I would definitely recommend popping in here, especially if you enjoy ports and sparkling wines ,or if you need a gift for someone who does. Bring some aromatherapy with you, I've given you a heads up. Chee

This is where you should go if you like very light, sweet stuff. If you like bubbles, you'll have a blast here. If you hate sweet or flavored wines, don't come here. My husband and I were driving by and noticed they were doing wine tastings in a space that had four wineries. We opted to pay for tasting at two locations, the first with traditional wines and the second one here. I believe it was $16 for each of us to do 4 tastings at the traditional place and then what ended up being quite a bit more tastes at the Singing Winemaker. The lady pouring for us was super friendly and fun and we ended up paying for the chocolate port "kisses" that came in little chocolate cups. A must try!

After seeing the mixed reviews, I figured since we were tasting next door, we would stop in and check this place out. I must say when you are wine tasting, the person doing the pouring makes or breaks the entire experience regardless of the wine. In this case Al Corce was our host and a great one at that. Having great conversation and making a new acquaintance is always a great thing especially if you live in the area. Always nice to make friends at the winery! Al gave us a great tasting experience. He knew about all the wines and even did some sparkling and port blends which made for a refreshing difference in the tasting experience. They have some interesting infused sparkling wines like peach (delicious), raspberry, and almond. Blending the almond and brut together was an interesting experience, so if you can get some mixed pouring, I'd say go for it! We hit the ports in the chocolate cups (you can get for $1.00 each) and I suggest anyone who loves port get the cups of dark chocolate to pour your port in. Enjoy the combination as it melts and swirls around your palate. We had some good laughs, shared some pairing suggestions with the various wines (such as Angel Food Cake or Lemon Bars with the sparkling and ports) and we ended up picking up some bottles to take along our way. This is located in a complex with 4 wineries although two were closed today. If you are going to taste at all of them they provide a one time tasting fee discount that applies to the other wineries so it's a great value. Frankly, tasting at two of them with all the numerous choices to taste will pretty much wipe out your palate for the day. I tasted 15 wines, sparkling and ports and after that my brain was done. Thanks Al for a great afternoon and being a great part of our tasting experience. 5 stars for GREAT service, huge variety of tastings, and the chocolate cups!

House special blends! There's also the chocolate port and Raspberry wine that is a great match as well

Loved the experience here! Although I have a sweet tooth, I couldn't try everything since I have an almond allergy. Recommend trying the Girls Wanna Have Fun! Ps. Be ready for the ultimate sugar rush, but the good kind :)

Live music! Great energy!

So I have very mixed feelings about this place. Some things are incredible. Some things are not…read moreso great. I am a member of the "Legends" club. 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.

They have a small menu but the food is delicious and offer large portions. I had the Grilled Gruyere, Prosciutto, Plum & Sour Cherry Jam Sandwich for $18. It was so good with plenty of chunks of prosciutto and Gruyère cheese. My friend had the Chicory and Asian Pear Salad for $18. Large portion offered, which can be shared. She enjoyed the salad.

Roger took care of us, and his customer service was brilliant. Since it was our first time, he took the time to explain each wine, and even cheered with us for our anniversary on the first one Truly top-notch service. We also received a complimentary wine glass, which was such a nice touch. We noticed Bryan helping the table next to us as well, and he also provided excellent customer service. The entire place was very pretty, clean, and organized. They had an outdoor fire pit and kindly turned it on for me since I was cold--it definitely helped keep me warm along with the wine! The dip and crackers were so good--I especially loved the creamy cheese dip. We also ordered the chocolate lava cake; it was okay... but I have to say, Domino's lava cake might still be my favorite lol. Overall, we would definitely go again!

I was so excited to visit for a tasting after trying one of their wines at an event in downtown…read moreWalnut Creek. Sadly, the experience did not live up to my expectations. Cons - our server asked to see our IDs immediately (which is not a problem as I always expect to show my ID). The problem happened when the server was adamant my partner was "not the same person" on the ID. He then pulled out a second government ID and she was insistent AGAIN that it was not him. At this point it was already an awkward beginning and she had to get another person to check BOTH his LEGAL IDs to make sure it's him. That was a weird start to the tasting. - the pours are very small. I realize it's a "tasting" but I have been to many places where they give you twice the amount of wine -we bought a bottle for home, but once we got home realized it was not the correct one (this is partially our fault because we did not check before we left) -outdoor seating can be a little chilly because not all seats have heaters Pros - we had a reservation on a Monday afternoon which was easy to make and we were sat right away - you get a welcome glass of their sparkling wine - Mondays are 2 for 1 tastings, so a great deal for a casual weekday outing - all the wines we tasted were great
